It had been a very hot day and all the windows in the apartment were open. Everyone else had gone to the beach, but I didn't join them because I was studying for an exam. Suddenly, the wind and rain were crashing through our windows! It was loud and terrifying. I rushed from room to room. I closed every window. Then, as soon as I had finished, the storm ended unexpectedly. Everything was calm again … until I heard another noise. A strange sound was coming from the kitchen. I screamed.
