[ WP ] Write a story about your biggest fear/nightmare . Make me afraid of it , too .

I am walking alone, on my way home from work. It ’ s dark, or at least, it will be soon. 
 
 I can smell the rain coming. 
 
 I try to walk a little faster, I try to beat the storm, but to no avail. Drip. Drip. Drip. 
 
 And then I ’ m drenched in rain. I don ’ t mind so much, I ’ ll be home in 5 minutes. It ’ s almost refreshing, anyway. 
 
 But then it happens. 
 
 The sky turns black, save for a mangled white slash of white, a blink; lightning. It ’ s gnarled, ugly shape, followed by an angry roar of thunder, threatening me, targeting me. I ’ m terrified. 
 
 A scream escapes me, I didn ’ t mean to let it. I whimper, and suddenly, I am no longer a working woman on her way home from work, but a child again, longing for the safety of my bedroom; I close my eyes and walk faster, faster, as fast as I can, and I pray that the next flash will come after I ’ m hidden under the safety of my blankets at home, at home, at home, please stop until I get home… 
 
 But I am lashed at again by an unforgiving sky, a clap; the sky is giddy with my fear. Another scream escapes me. 
 
 I just want to make it home.
