I stare up at the dark cloudy sky.

It's such a gloomy grey even during midday.

Rain hasn't started to fall, yet lightning and thunder flash across the sky.

I walk down a path as I continue along my journey.

I'm not sure where I'm headed, but something tells me I have to keep going.

"Finally. You're awake." It chirped out. "I've been trying to wake you up for a good several minutes now."

"Well, I was asleep so..."
