It was a cold rain falling. The sky was dark. The only light was the light that came from the house. The house where she stood on the porch and waited. Not knowing what she waited for, she knew something was coming. She could feel it.

The lights in the house flickered, but stayed on. The cats and dogs were screeching and howling. The dogs wanted out. She would not let them out for fear of what would happen to them.

There was no one there to help her. Her husband was out of town for the night and the nearest neighbor was miles away. She started shaking as she stood there.

A bright flash in the sky and then a bang. "It's here" she thought to herself. The dogs started barking. "I have to do something, but what?"

She ran into the house and turned all the lights out. Needing her eyes to adjust to the darkness. She put the animals in her bedroom, she closed the door.

Once back in the living room, she stood at the big picture window hoping to see something. Yet praying it was not there. Hearing a cracking noise, she knew it was coming up the gravel driveway and getting closer.

Running into the kitchen, she grabbed the big cast iron skillet. She went to the front door and stood behind it and waited. Minutes passed and nothing. Debating should she open the door, she slowly turned the knob with the weapon held high above her head, ready to be swung.

The door was slowly pushed opened. With her arm held high, she started to swing, but her arm was grabbed and the skillet dropped.

"What are you doing?" a voice commanded.

"I thought you were it! The thing from sky!" she cried. "There is something out there!"

"You've had another bad dream, there is nothing there." her husband assured her.

As he leads her into the house on that cold rainy night, she thinks to herself, though it wasn't this night, the time draws closer when it will.

Should this be posted under BTS?

My husband forgot to tell me there was a word count. I'm new to this site. Please ignore story. I will try to post another.

hey I liked the story, and can help with a post to give a few points.

I thought the wife was going to accidentally kill the husband
nice story but I think something is missing... like why this woman believes the thing in the sky is coming for her. Maybe you can write a flashback to this story explaining how she got herself into her current mental state.

this is why I refuse to get involved with women to any degree, something bad always happens. either some morons is pretending to be the same person or someone is pretending to be the lover or exlover I dont know or really give a flying frap. however, i do see the extremeness is the unholy flying frap stirring up crap. they are girls dude, I mean comon, they may not be soft and cuddly, but they are still girls.
