Eerie Serenity

I'm at work right now, and it is so quiet and still. Dark, menacing clouds are looming overhead just outside the huge front window, there are no customers in sight, and a lone radio is playing in the background. I'm munching on edamame, folding towels, but mostly just daydreaming. It's a strange, calming feeling here today. Maybe it's the impending storm, or the fact that the phone isn't ringing off the hook as usual, and the door is not constantly beeping to signal entering customers. The quiet of the store mixed with the booming thunder and bright flashes of lightning is creating an eerie atmosphere. It's times like these when chills go up my spine. Completely and utterly alone, with nothing except my thoughts and the storm to keep me company.
