No birds. No wind. ‘How odd,’ she muttered as she slowly looked around. Everything was so still. Then, as she looked over the roof of the car, she... saw a black swirling mass of a cloud that was churning upwards into the dark clouds high above. For a moment she just looked, stunned. She knew it was a tornado. She had seen a couple of films in science class. But this one was huge. ‘I can’t be here,’ she said aloud. Brenda quickly got back into the car and closed the door. She turned the key.. The impact lifted him up off his feet and sent him hurdling backwards end over end until a tree stopped him. The pine groaned from the impact and a moment later uprooted and fell. That man remained still for moment and then put his feet down, the rest of his body simply followed to the upright position. His jaw was clearly broken hanging at an unnatural angle and his right shoulder was dislocated. Somehow despite that he looked more pissed than hurt. ‘Hun, let’s get out of here.’ Andrew. I knew as soon as we sat down and passed around our names exactly what couple seemed most likely to think our (my) way. His name was Derek, as tall as I was, 5'9, not quite as much white hair, but handsome with slight balding, and just slightly slimmer than me. It was obvious he worked out a lot, was well read and a good conversationalist with twinkling grey eyes. Sarah, his wife, was more around 5'4, a black-eyed beauty and it appeared in her off the shoulder gown that she was quite fit, had. 'Accounts? How exciting! I think that's jolly important.Perhaps we could have a coffee or something?' Brenda moaned and rolled her eyes. She had been employed at Mentone Industriesfor ten years and had managed to work her way up to Personal Assistant to theDirector of Marketing, a young man who was three years younger and less experiencedthat she. All the management positions were filled by me n, Brendathought silently, no one with a vagina gets to sit in an office onmanagement row! Daniel.
