The man stood out on his balcony It looked out on the beach and ocean From there he could see for miles As he stood there all of a sudden the wind picked up with no warning
It whipped through the trees causing them to bend violently His wind chimes which were carefully hung outside played a tune mimicking the rhythm of the wind
The sky begun quickly changing color It grew dark with huge oppressive clouds hanging over the city The tempo of the waves also changed as the sea grew rough as they pounded the shore
It was no longer safe to swim or be outside People began packing up their things to make their way inside They knew what was coming
A storm
A beach umbrella was lifted up by the wind and went flying down the beach with its owners chasing after it A book sitting on a chair was carried into the air and dropped into the sea as its owner ran after it
The man watched the scene unfold from his balcony laughing While he watched, his tea kettle started to whistle on the stove He was making a cup of tea
As he finished brewing the tea his cat woke up and went outside to survey the situation
When his tea was ready, the man brought it outside to the balcony and sat with his cat gently sipping the tea watching the scene He enjoyed the taste of lemon and inhaled the scent of it like perfume
All of a sudden his cat quickly got up and retreated inside The man knew his cat could sense the storm coming before he would He quickly turned and followed his cat just in the nick of time Just as they left, and closed the door, the sky opened up pouring heavy rain
