Storm
Two voices crash
A woman screams
The house is collapsing
We hide in the basement
Trying to escape the screeches,
But it finds us
Doors slam
A suitcase zips up
It’s the final straw
One of them is done
We teeter over to the edge of the window
Peek through the blinds
Hoping that we have the Angel
She is leaving
We are stuck with the Devil
