A Dark Stormy Night

The sky was pitch black as the tiny white snakes slithered through the rainy night,
Bringing its friends among with it like soldiers in an army.
The skies rumbled and rambled like a monster.
Buckets and buckets of water poured down from above,
Crashing on everything below it.
Citizens hid frighteningly in their houses,
Waiting for it to calm down.
The wind hissed and howled.
It went on for many hours.
But as the sun slowly rose,
It smiled happily on the city.
All the buckets of water turned into puddles,
The snakes slithered away with the monsters,
And all went back to normal.
