Thunder



It never rains without a warning, and tonight she heard loud thunders, bellowing somewhere high up in the heavens.

The line went dead; the unspoken decisions were taken, as her voice staggered in the lonely night, choking with the streams of tears that threatened to smear her kohl-lined eyes.

Work had to be done, quickly, efficiently, and time was running out.

She wore her raincoat and gum boots and crept onto the wet streets, the clouds shouting at her, but in vain.

Her hands slid into the pocket of her faded denim; the metal of the gun felt cold, and soothing, and she smiled for the first time in several days.
