Appearances

I looked through the window and thought it to be beautiful outside. The sun was shining, and there even seemed to be a light breeze through the trees. Once I stepped out, I noticed it was a completely different environment than I had assumed it to be. When I looked through the window, I did not realize that the apparent sunshine was simply a glare. And the light breeze was actually a gust of wind. The skies were bright but oddly colored. I looked beyond and saw that the eye of the storm was rapidly approaching the very spot I was standing in. The winds took me and carried me to a place I have never known.

Understand that in front of the glass of that window hung a pair of transclucent drapes. And instead of pushing them to the side to get a better view, I glanced without taking my time to consider the weather. So here I am, tormented like the skies before a great storm...
