Thunder rumbled off in the distance. After a little while, there was a flash among the clouds. It must have been lightning. A few seconds later, thunder could be heard again. “This strange weather must be a result of the strange thing you said, Tsukiko,” Sensei murmured, leaning forward from the veranda. It wasn’t strange, I retorted. Sensei gave a wry smile. “It looks like we’ll have a bit of a storm.” Sensei put up the rain shutters with a loud clatter. They didn’t slide very well. He also closed the doors. The lightning was flashing wildly, and the thunder was growing near.
