Thunderous Music

A day of monotonous document writing, waking up late as the alarm fails, back-of-the-mind stress of moving on from my base.

All this and more wiped clean as I walk up and over the hills of Wollstonecraft back to my apartment. The sunshine gives way to enraged storm clouds as the cityscape comes into view between the trees. Rain starts to fall. Heavy, ominous rain. Rain with the promise of far more to come. 100% humidity and the landscape darkening, thunder crashes around me beyond the avenue of trees that roll into the distance. I love being out in thunderstorms. I don't mind the rain and, for once, I feel alive. The sky darkens more, crashes follow crashes as I continue my homeward journey. Enraged, the storm surrounds me. On my music player, Placibo's Pure Morning cues up, the pent-up potential of the bass drone perfectly matching the sky's rage and promise around me. The thunderclaps and rolls augment and enhance the mood, as I arrive at the apartment, chilled and calm once more.
