Onthatile Respect two 12 February 2008 Draft two

Big cauliflower clouds were boiling up. Thunder boomed in the distance. The storm exploded on us in a chaos of wind, water and noise. Suddenly, our world turned white. There was an earsplitting crack, and the air filled with screams, some of them my own.

One Friday night on the 7 of January 2006, my mum and I were heading home from church. We were all tired and we were planning to go directly home. Suddenly, we were caught in a storm. My mum and I ran towards the bus stop to seek shelter. I struggled to open the umbrella, but we were soon soaked. I began to shiver with terror but my mum wrapped her warm hands around me and assured me that everything was going to be alright.

After about half an hour, the storm eased a little. We decided to continue moving forward. However, ten minutes later, rain drop were hitting o me like bullets. A blinding flash freeze-framed my face.
