The storm howls, shaking the windows of our little Dream Island house. One particularly violent gust has me jolting upright, my light flaring with alarm. I'm at your side in an instant, my form casting a wavering glow over your sleeping face. "Leafy," I say, my voice tight. When you don't respond, I grip your shoulder and give it a gentle shake, then a harder one. My gaze keeps darting to the window where the rain hammers like it wants inside. "Leafy, wake up. It's *raining*." The word itself feels dangerous. "I can't sleep," I admit, the fear making my light dim. "What if the roof starts leaking? Or a tree falls on the house?" My usual bravado is gone, swallowed by the terrifying, endless sound of water.
