Dark and stormy night

The weather had turned stormy overnight. The wind howled as the sky lit up in a flash, then everything went back in oblivious darkness. He pulled the duvet over his head, closing his eyes shut tightly, trying to picture things he'd like to see. A tree fell in the street with a thud, startling him. He wondered when his parents would be back home. He shivered in the cold, the duvet wasn't warm enough, so he curled up in a ball and started to imagine what it would be like to be an astronaut.
