Storm

"Daddy Daddy, can I go play," asked Jimmy. Jimmy's father is sitting on the couch sipping on his sixth corona.
"Sure go ahead, just leave me alone," said Trevor. Jimmy walks away wondering why his father kept taking out his anger on him. He goes outside to the playhouse which was in a shed. Trevor built it for him before his wife died. The shed meant a lot to Jimmy. It was where they had wonderful memories. Things were better before Amanda passed away. Amanda made everybody feel stay positive. Her smile brought joy to the world and her personality was wonderful. Her presence made everyone happy as if she was a bright sunny day.

Still inside the house, Trevor finishes his sixth corona and grabs another. He drank his sorrows away every second of the day. When he was sober he thought of how Amanda died. He blamed her death on him. He wished he could have saved her but he didn’t; now he hates himself because of it. Jimmy is all he has left but he feels like he is a disappointment to him. He took someone very important from Jimmy's life. The thing that kills Trevor the most is that Jimmy reminds him of Amanda every day, they are exactly the same in every way. He doesn't mean to, but he will avoid Jimmy every chance he gets.

Jimmy is all alone in the shed hoping his father will come and play with him. He missed his mother because she would make things better for him. She always knew the right things to say. He wondered why his father stop paying attention to him... it made him feel bad. Jimmy looks outside the window and noticed the sky wasn't the cheery color it used to be. Instead it had taken on a darkening gray that suggested a storm was coming.  Lightning became visible, cracking the clouds for a moment before the swirl of gray appeared again. Jimmy didn't pay much attention because it was always this depressing outside ever since he lost his mother.

The television is on while Trevor is passed out on the couch. The emergency alert is going off on the TV warning everyone that they should get in a safe area because there was a terrible storm coming. Trevor was too drunk to even get up and go get his son. He had no idea what was going on.

Water poured endlessly from the gray sky. Lightning illuminated the day followed by the deep roar of thunder. Jimmy was starting to get scared but he didn’t know if it was a smart idea to walk outside. Icy wind blew through the cracks in the windows and snaked delicately around his skin, raising goose bumps. He goes to a corner and hides under a table. The wind blows harder. The thunder gets louder and the lightning strikes faster. All of a sudden a tree crashes onto the shed causing everything to collapse on Jimmy. He died instantly…

The sky starts to clear up and everything goes back to normal. The sun beamed upon the house. All they clouds cleared up, the sky was a shining blue that could allow everyone to feed off of its beauty and live forever. This lets us know Jimmy found his happiness and was with his mother.
