He could hear the distant roll of thunder and burst into action, scrambling for the door latch. He knew he was safe in the car with its rubber tyres and roll cage, but he still couldn't bring himself to be outside in a storm all these years later.

He made it inside quickly, and his heavy feet took him to his front door. He got inside before the tears started to fall, and he pressed his back against the front door, unable to go any further. The fear of the lightning that he could see through the windows mixed in with the grief and the pressure falling down on him. And the loneliness that he thought he had seen the last of was killing him slowly from the inside.
