Stormy Nights

Give me a short story with a storm as a central theme or setting. I should be able to feel like there is a storm around me, describe it well. That is not to say that the storm should be the main part of the story. I'd like to read a story with a plot, please But there should be more than a mere mention of the storm, and the weather should reflect that story or encourage it somehow.


Rules.
No hard core erotica please. Love scenes are good and all, but give some plot to the story too, please, not just a sex scene.
Good spelling and grammar
No fanfiction
Have fun!!!

  • Final notes:
    Hello everyone, sorry for taking so long to get to this- my life has been crazy!!! I will comment on everyone's entry if they leave it in the contest, I've just been a little too busy to get to that.
    There were so many good pieces in this contest, it was hard to choose. I could see from each piece that storms are as awed and respected by all of you as they are by me. It was definitely fun reading. Thank you all for your time and effort in this contest. It was a pleasure.

      Oh, no worries, I'm probably not as picky as I seem. And it seems as though I mixed up storm and story. The storm doesn't have to be the main thing or anything. Definitely enter it. I look forward to seeing it!
