Thunder

howls across London like a toddler throwing his toys. The lightbulb of lightning slashes the darkness as it points its way to the ground. Rain, cool, restorative rain falls dripping down parched leaves, cooling the heavy, hot air, leaving its puddles splashing in the road. The heat is over, the golden heavy blanket that has smothered London for the past few days has been thrown back and nature has restored the balance.
