Stepping outside, Randy inhaled a large breath of fresh morning air. He could smell the rain clouds setting in. There was going to be a storm. Off in the distance, he could see lightning lighting up the gray sky. The low rumble of thunder told him it would be there soon. The wind began to pick up and he could feel a slight chill in the air. He knew this one was going to be a big one. The cattle had huddled together on one side of the pasture. The horses were whinnying nervously in the barn. The chickens were safely in their coop, and everything appeared to be secured and ready for the storm. He just prayed it passed quickly so he could make it into town to get some supplies today.
