I brace as another shockingly sharp flash fills the room, a momentary tear through the skies above before darkness engulfs me.
The heavens rumble as thunder cascades across the clouds, reverberating through my core as I count the seconds tick by.
Petrichor flows through the open window whilst the downpour cleanses the dry earth, washing away its sins.
I pull my blanket tighter, relishing in its soft illusion of protection as I tuck my knees in closer with a hot cup in hand.
Steam billows around my face as the rich, velvety chocolate caresses my tongue, its smoothness seemingly out of place as the electricity in the air peaks and the sky cracks open once more.
