Fright Night

Lying in bed during the long dark night

With the east winds howling

Must be like trying to sleep in a haunted house.

Weird and eerie sounds all through the night.

I put my robe by my bed so I could quickly put it on in case we had to evacuate; or so as not to embarrass the rescue workers when they discover my body in the rubble after a massive tree crushed the house killing all occupants.

Blessed morning.

Blessed sunshine.

We survive yet another wanton East Wind attack.
