The air was thick and humid.
Heat trapped beneath the thickening clouds above made everything feel close. Tense. The light, subdued a little by the cloud cover, had a yellowish tinge to it.
Every so often the silence was broken by a long rumble of thunder. And within the rumbles came the occasional bright flash of lightning. Just a flash, no bolts or streaks.
My legs felt heavy as I walked. It felt as though I was walking against something, as though something was pushing me back every step I made. But I had to keep going. I had to keep moving forward.
I had to get back before the rains came. The signs were all there, a storm was definitely rolling in.
One step in front of the other, clothes stuck to my body as I moved. I had to keep going.
…But the rains would have been welcome.

We’ve been having plenty of rain this winter. I should be grateful, but the dark skies make me miserable. I had enough rain for a lifetime living in Liverpool for 30 years!

It depends on the dark skies for me, Chris. I don’t mind the rain, but if it comes with dramatic skies then its all the better!

Very well written Tom. 🙂 ❤
Yes the weather has been turbulent hasn’t it?
Where I am we saw only one minor thunderstorm and a few cooling showers.
My home is a heat sink though, so I am reduced to wearing just boxers during the day so I don’t upset my neighbours!
Hopefully we won’t see too many deluges as the flash flooding has harmed a lot of people.
Humidity is still 90% so we are a storm waiting to happen! 😦 ❤
Blessed be my friend! 🙂 ❤

Same here. I like it nice and sunny, and warm up to a point, but I’m not keen if it gets too hot! 🌞
