Entry #3 to class assignment

The Dark and Stormy Night

She was alone in her house waiting up for her husband. She sat in the bed with her cat trying to watch TV and trying not to think about what might be keeping him so late. Surely his work would be done by now and only a fool would go practice the rodeo on a night like tonight. As she sat there wondering, she could not help but hear the thunder that boomed right over the top of her. With every lightening blot she feared they would loose power. Finally the house went pitch dark, as she sat in bed still waiting for her husband. She thought she might go to sleep and that maybe just maybe it would help pass the time until he got home. Finally he came home at about 2am an woke her up. He told her he was sorry for keeping her worried and that he had gone out to make sure the horses were going to make it alright through the terrible storm. Finally her worries were put to rest, so she kissed him, said “good night”, and went back to sleep on the dark and stormy night.
