It’s been a while since I participated in the 100 word challenge from Julia’s place. It feels nice to get back into the swing of things. I hope you enjoy the post eruption mini below.
Title: After the Storm
“Gary, how long will this last?” Clara asked staring out the window.
“No idea. The radio’s gone silent again. This time I think it’s for good,” her brother replied slapping the device again.
“Do you think we should leave?” Clara watched a car race down the road. Outside, it was growing cold.
“No, I think it’s best if we stay inside. In time, things will clear up. We’re outside the blast radius. I don’t think we’ll be affected.” Clara nodded, but did not believe a word he said.
As the grey ashes fell, Clara knew her world had changed forever.
PART-TIME NOVEL 
Well done, sir.
Nice. Wish I hadn’t read this before writing mine. I was going to do something around hurricane Sandy but it might be too close to this. might have to re-think.
Sorry Paul! I am sure you’ll come up with something great.
Sounds like a great opening for a novel. I’d read it 🙂
Sally-Jayne – Thanks for the complement!
I didn’t occur to me that storm could mean firestorm.
