on Mount Pleasant Street
lots of bikes traveling in all directions
storms rolled in fast
thunder lightning
I tried to get home to walk the dog before the rain
got home... leashed the dog... rain started before I could get out the door
stepped out the door and lightning struck frighteningly close
no time to count between lightning and thunder
it was right there... so close I could feel it
my already shy\submissive dog put his tail between his leg and ran for the front door
