Oak Town Shadows

Why do I always sense when a storm is brewing? The air thickens, like a whispered secret. Tonight, it's not just the wind that makes me anxious, but the Radio Tower's steady hum.

I pace by the window, watching as Ollie's signals stretch across the town like skeletal fingers. Juno chases me, laughing, and I dart away, my tail twitching. We play until she tires, and then we both settle on the couch beside Moss, who's nose-deep in a book.

As the storm intensifies, Ollie's broadcast becomes more urgent. He warns of flooding, downed power lines, and where residents can find shelter. I listen intently, my ears perked up. The Radio Tower's warnings are always clear, like a beacon in the darkness.

The rain pounds against the roof, drumming out a primal rhythm. I curl up beside Moss, feeling safe as he reads on. The storm will pass, just as it has every time before. Tomorrow will be sunny again, with Juno chasing me once more.

As the night wears on, the Radio Tower's broadcast fades to static. I yawn, snuggle into my bed of blankets, and let the soft hum lull me to sleep. The storm may rage outside, but in Oak Town, we're safe, wrapped in our community's love and light.
