Isolation

Standing on his porch, Ben drew breath. As the clean, cool air filled his lungs, a smile spread across his face because he was happy because it is peaceful.  Where he stood was far away from the Ocean, and as the sun shone over the lake, dissolving the foggy air he could catch a glimpse of the mountains, a sea of trees, the forest far beyond as the crispy air moved its way through it.  A House on a Rock surrounded by beauty is a border, no fisherman's around on a silent day.  As he looked up to the skies big thick clouds were forming and it began to get dark, the lake was a tranquil place as the sun was covered by a shadow.  Then one, two drops on Ben's face as the rain started pouring down hard.  He ran inside the shelter from the rain as the sound of the wind hurling outside blew strongly.  

Thinking to himself, why all of a sudden the weather had changed so quickly.  Looking outside his window he couldn't see anything beyond the lake but just the water making small waves.  ‘ Could it be a tornado brewing’ he said. 

He looked around the house to check if everything was stable. He taped the windows with duct tape just in case and he boarded the windows with wood.  Ben started worrying a solitary house would fall off the rock. So he got his radio and went under the table just in case it was a real tornado. This felt like a lockdown, living alone in the middle of the lake Ben stayed under the table while the rain and wind was blowing even harder.  An hour had passed and the rain slowly calmed down. Ben got out from the table and looked outside his window and saw everything had stopped moving Roughly. The waves calmed too. He looked up at the sky and saw the clouds shifting away and there a glimmer of the sun shone through, the rays of the sun light above his house. The weather was going to become beautiful again.
