“The Storm and the City”

The city was a sleeping giant, its skyscrapers stretching lazily into the dawn. The streets yawned awake as the sun peeked over the horizon, painting the clouds with strokes of gold. People began to spill from their homes like marbles from a jar, rolling into the rhythm of another Monday.

Then, without warning, the sky growled. The wind began to dance through the alleys, whispering secrets to the trembling trees. Lightning tore the heavens open like a furious artist slashing his canvas, and thunder roared in applause. Raindrops drummed on rooftops — pitter-patter, pitter-patter — as if the world itself was keeping time.

Maria ran for cover, her heart pounding like a runaway train. “Great,” she muttered, “just what I needed.” She was all thumbs trying to open her umbrella, but it turned traitor, flipping inside out like a rebellious child.

By the time the storm passed, the city was reborn — glistening, calm, and humming softly, as though it had just taken a long, refreshing breath.

Tip: Try similes (“like/as”), personification (“the wind danced”), or idioms (“all thumbs”).
