DAY 82

STORY #82

Storm Warning

The storm raged, a steel mesh of rain, continually punctuated by white-hot thunderbolts. Judy was house-sitting for friends. She’d never known the violence of a prairie storm. Just then, the phone rang. Judy answered--no one was there. This continued for over an hour.

Looking out the window, Judy screamed--an old cowboy was staring in at her! The phone rang. “Look,” she began---when a disembodied voice said, “Get out of my house! Get out now!” She ran. Out the door, into the concrete storm shelter next to the house--minutes before a tornado hit and flattened the home.
