Title: An incident when I was caught in the storm

Big cauliflower clouds were boiling up. Thunder boomed in the distance. Suddenly, the storm exploded on me in a chaos of wind, water and noise.
My face turned white. I was trapped inside my car! I was actually planning to get home after a days work. I was exhausted. I could only wait until the storm eased.
That was when I remember I could get out of the car from the top of the car. I quickly went out of my car as fast as I could before the car was totally drowned. After I get out of my car, I could watch my car being drowned helplessly in the rain. Since then, I tried to avoid fierce storm. If it ever happened again, I would only wait till the rain is gone.

Confessions of a Triskaidekaphobic

"Do you know that the number 13 can be scary?” someone once told me. That time I was not so superstitious. I belief that maybe things that happened at the same time, maybe it could just coincident. Things started to happened more and more often.Once, I tripped and fell on the staircase after seeing the word 13 in my textbook and the other time when I took the lift, the lift stopped near the door. I started to panic, that time I didn't bring my handphone out. Luckily, my neighbour was planning to take a lift, he saw that I was stuck inside the lift. He took out the phone and called people come helped me out.I started to fear the number 13.I started to fear anything would happened after seeing the word. I started then to avoid the word.
