"Unfortunately, there will be severe amounts of rain and possibly floods, here, here and here." My family gasped. Trisha Nitgell, the weather person had just pointed to the whole of Dublin, my home. Recently, the weather had changed for the worst and every day we'd hear depressing stories involving children being struck by lightning and cars smashed by huge balls of hail. I wondered what would happen to my family and my home. I loved my village.

A few drops of rain fell outside. Soon it started to fall faster and heavier than ever before.
Soon the house was a swimming pool.
I was a gonner.
