Spoiler
i am so sorry for the third SU but i wanted to post this
it's raining
the thunder scared my kitten into my lap
i'm sitting on my bed, next to my window
the drapes are open, so every time lighting strikes, it replaces the room's warm lights with a flash of unfamiliarity
each time, my kitten meows and curls deeper into my lap, burying his head into my stomach
i pet him
he calms down, and purrs as the the rain lulls him to sleep
it's raining, yes, but i don't mind it
i don't mind it because i have a good book open, a comfortable pillow, a soft kitten, and tea an arm's reach away
chamomile tea, not too hot, not the slighting bit too cold, but just at the temperature that warms your entire body as you drink it
i used to be afraid of the lighting
i was told the thunder was when the clouds went bowling
and lighting was when they got a strike
but i always closed the drapes when it rained
and cried at night
but not now
now, the tears falling down my face are those caused by the book in my hand
the emotional swaying from the writing one author put so much effort into
so much time
an unexpected clap of thunder startles my kitten
the lightning fills the room, and a blink later it's gone again
i don't mind it anymore
why can't this moment last forever?

whenever there was a thunderstorm, i was told that it was the angels going out for bowling night. my grandma would always make an in-depth story about it that would tend to make me laugh. I remember one night, there was lightning so close to our house that it lit up my entire bedroom even with the dark curtains over the windows, and originally, i thought there was like, a person taking pictures with the flash on or smth (idek, i was like, 6), but then i heard the thunder. i went to my grandma's bedroom and woke her, telling her i was scared. she told me that one of the angels got kicked off the bowling team because they didnt get a good enough score, so they were sent down to earth. i spent the entirety of the next day being outside, searching for the angel. I didn't find a person, but i did find a cat. she was gray, black, and white, and had a little stripe of white on the tip of her tail. we decided to keep her, and we were originally going to call her Q-tip because of her tail, but we decided on Ripley, because the stripes looked like ripples. sadly, Ripley had to be put down a few years ago, because she was very old, and was rapidly losing weight. We still don't know why that happened, but we miss her so much. R.I.P. Ripley <3
Sorry for temporarily taking over your SU, I just really wanted to share my memory with y'all :3
