The Delicate Sound Of Thunder Novels & Stories

Theron A sound like a struck bell woke the council before the runners did. It wasn't the normal clamor of a dawn call or a smith's hammer; it was a low, rolling thunder that came from beneath the earth and left the rafters shivering in its wake. I felt it through my bones before I heard the words—an alarm that said the house was not whole.

152| Is It… Thunder? . JULIE . It does not go away and I keep chanting that in my head when suddenly it leaves my bare skin and I hear a loud thunderous growl. Is it… Thunder?

“Are you leaving too?” She nodded, starting to follow the smaller one but then a noise erupted through the trees that made my heart stop for a moment. It was yelling, clearly a man’s, clearly an idiot. I rushed to the direction of the sound, stopping dead in my tracks as Small pinned Ethan. O fluff nugget…

The sky above Elder Lee’s hidden estate didn't just break; it hemorrhaged. The first crack of thunder was a jagged, tectonic roar that seemed to split the very foundations of the mountain range. It wasn't the clean, rolling thunder of a natural summer storm; it was a heavy, dissonant boom, a sound of ancient gears grinding together that vibrated through the marrow of Samantha’s bones. Rain began to fall in a sudden, violent sheet. These were not soft drops, but cold, needle-like projectiles that tasted of iron and ancient dust, a caustic downpour that seemed intent on scrubbing the very life from the forest floor.

It was them. He began to move, and the thunder found its rhythm. It was a deep, pounding beat that matched the driving pace of his hips. Each thrust was a peal of thunder, each withdrawal the tense silence before the next. She met him thrust for thrust, her nails digging into the cloud-stuff beneath her, her cries lost in the howling wind and the torrential rain.

He then made the same sort of sound but in a deeper tone, a sound that was more easing to my ears, like a note from a cello. But within the next second, I heard a rumbling thunder signaling the arrival of a storm and felt a wave of dizziness. I wondered if the frequency of this sound surpassed the range of what human ears could withstand. I even suspected that prolonged exposure to sounds like this could damage my hearing and my auditory nerves.

But I stopped from opening the gate because, in a count of five Mississippi, it would burst loudly. I close my eyes. Put my free hands to cover my ears. ‘…four Mississippi… Five Mississippi…” The thunder rumbles in the distance. Then I control my breathing to calm. I do always remember; fear couldn’t help in any situation. Though I have this unusually sensitive hearing to loud sounds. I opened my eyes in relief. I’m fine.

A sharp crack of thunder followed, so loud it rattled through my chest and nearly had me leaping out of my skin.

Suddenly there came a frightening blinding light of the lightening followed by the crackling sound of the thunder, and then the electricity tripped off.
