She had felt the wind pick up through the screen door and knew it was coming; the door slammed. The rain crested the hill. She ran barefoot; dodging the gopher holes she had tripped over before, praying she didn’t find a new one. The storm came; clouds anvilled out, there was green. Big drops. This was her storm. She held on; she let go.
