The Storm on Maple Street
The sky had been grey all morning, but no one expected the storm to arrive so suddenly. One moment, the trees on Maple Street were gently swaying. The next, the wind roared like a wild animal, tearing leaves from branches and sending them spinning into the air.
Mia pressed her face against the living room window. Across the road, Mr Patel was struggling to close his garden gate, which banged and clattered in protest. A wheelie bin toppled over and rolled down the pavement like it had a mind of its own.
Then came the thunder — a deep, rumbling growl that shook the glass. Mia jumped back, her heart thudding. The lights flickered once… twice… and then everything went dark.
For a moment, the world felt smaller and quieter. Without the hum of the television or the glow of the lamps, the house seemed unfamiliar. Mia reached for her mum’s hand.
“It’s only a power cut,” Mum said calmly, though her voice was almost drowned out by the rain hammering against the roof.
Outside, lightning split the sky, bright and jagged like a crack in a giant mirror.
