Just a sweet story. The contrast between the awful destruction of the storm and the comforting closeness of a loving relationship says something good about the human spirit.
Proper English, a good background (I've been through a tornado. Took out a big box store to the slab.) and interesting characters.
The beginning was a bit abrupt, perhaps you meant that and we were to discover what we needed to know as we read further. It was off-putting at first.
Please write more as the muse strikes you.
Excellent tale of two caring people sharing a crisis and falling more deeply in love through it all. Nice development and conclusion, albeit a quick one. I gave it a five.
Oh my! By gum! Where'd this guy, this writer come from? What relief. Finally a gem in the often-surprising, fertile manure pile of Literotica.
Speaking of talking…real people don’t talk this way.
"Well, it's hard to tell. If they can leave the power on at the pole over on the corner, your service might not be interrupted. It just depends on how far back they have to go to isolate the wires that are down. But they're going to have thousands of people shut off all over the area, and that line where the pole went down just feeds your little cul de sac, half a dozen houses. So once they isolate those wires that are down, they might just concentrate on replacing poles in other places that will restore power to hundreds of customers at a clip, and leave this street alone for a couple of days. We can wait a bit to see what's happening, and of course if your power is left on, we'll be just fine. If it gets shut off and it looks like a long wait, we'll load your perishables into my car and take off for my house. I wouldn't want to try that trip now, but once the storm has passed and they have a half a day to clear the roads it ought to be smooth sailing. Might even be better than usual because there won't be a lot of traffic."
