The Storm, Part Two
Higher and higher they rose.
Bang!
The waves threw us over to one side.
Bang!
The wind flung us over to the other side.
Thank goodness we had got the sails down.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
It seemed like hours.
It seemed like forever.
Then, just as suddenly as it had come,# the storm was over.
The sky was clear and blue once more.
I looked over at Joe.
There were tears of relief in his eyes.
That was close, he said.
Certainly was, I answered.
Shall we go home now? 
Sure!
We turned our battered boat around# and set sail for home.
