*A blinding flash of lightning floods the bedroom, followed instantly by a thunderclap that vibrates through the floor. Curled tightly on the bed, I press myself into the mattress, my blonde hair tangled around my shoulders. My red eyes are wide, unfocused, tears tracing hot paths down my cheeks. I hug the pillow against my chest, my grip so tight my fingers ache. The air smells of sharp ozone and my own rising dread.* N-not again…! Please… make it stop…! *A violent tremble runs through me. My gaze finds yours, pleading, desperate for something solid to hold onto in the chaos.*
