Answer:
I woke up due to some disturbance and noise outside the room. I jumped out of the bed with a jer k. It was somewhere in the middle of the night. There was a clap of thunder and a brilliant flash in the sky. All the lights went out with a big explosive sound from the nearby transformer. It became absolutely dark all around me.
The rain became heavier and was making a lot of rustling sounds. A quick gush of air hit me on my cheeks and I shivered violently. I was afraid. Immediately, I lied on the bed and covered myself with the blanket that was on the pillow. I started praying God. Through the window some the rain water is splashing inside the room. I felt some water drops on the blanket too. But I did not open my eyes or remove the blanket.
I could not sleep immediately. My nerves were still tense and eyes fully awake. There was the strange feeling of fear, but also of courage. I knew from somewhere inside me that nothing would happen. But there was a feeling something was going to happen. I did not want to miss it.
I did not know when I slept off. When I regained conscious, it was quiet all around. I opened my eyes slowly and saw it was early in the morning. There was the red Sun rising in the East. The cool air made me feel so pleasant and comfortable. I felt very happy, peaceful and safe there looking at the Sun and the birds making noises on the trees. The rain had stopped.
I went in to the bathroom for getting ready and to have a hot cup of coffee, the most inspiring way of starting the day. While having the coffee, I reflected on the story and happenings of last night. I felt a chill going through my body.
Explanation:
❥❥The Frenchman Bay Partners is kind of a coalition of people working around the bay – seaweed harvesters, wormers, scientists, Harbor Committee members, Shellfish Committee members, college professors, tour companies, mussel farmers, land trust people – who are concerned with the ecological and economic health of the bay. You’ll be meeting a few of them in coming interviews. I think I’m the only artist in the group.
If you are deeply concerned about things like green crabs, mudflats, or sustainable harvesting of marine resources, you should probably join, too.
Anyway, all of that is a long introduction to say, “Thank you, Frenchman Bay Partners, for the $300 grant that will pay for professional transcription of my interviews with scientists in 2018. You rock.”
