Shattered Illusions
“Brona shivered as she fought her way up the walk and away from the crashing waves that threatened to flood the beach. Lightning cracked the sky apart, illuminating the house with an eerie backdrop. She pulled her windbreaker tighter around her.
She berated herself for her stupidity. She had noticed the threatening storm clouds when she started out this afternoon.

"You had to wal...k along the cliffs as if you've never seen the ocean before today. Soaked to the skin, you are, and looking like an eejit for the effort." Her dark strands were plastered to her head and her makeup all but washed away. It was a good thing she hadn't put on mascara this morning or she'd have streaks of black running down her face.
She hurried up the porch steps and to some remnant of cover. She needed to collect the firewood and light the fireplace or the house wouldn't be warm tonight. She wished her husband would hurry home.MoreLess
