It was hard for her small frame to open the door; it was a heavy steel door. The wind was blowing so hard she nearly lost her footing as she struggled with it. She could see the vent spinning around on top of the storm shelter to let in some air to the close quarters. It was built tough, but she managed to pry it open, the wind catching it, before she was pulling it shut behind her and bolting it. She was in absolute darkness and she reached for a flashlight she knew they kept on the shelf. Something soft brushed against her hand, she didn’t know if was a spider web, a mouse, or what, and she squealed at the sensation, but determinedly felt for the flashlight against the eternal blackness that was before her. She wouldn’t go down the steps without seeing where she was going. It was a black pit, a void, an absence of any light, and she was frightened. She had heard the roar of the wind, the steel door had shut that out, but in the absence of sound the dark frightened her further. There, there was the flashlight. She quickly pulled it to herself and flicked it on. The beam was feeble, the batteries old and unused. She cursed in her mind, not aloud, just in case someone could hear her and berate her for her naughty mouth. She shone the flickering beam around and saw another flashlight on the shelf. This one too was weak and unused, but between the two weak beams she felt better and could see further. She saw a lantern further down and headed carefully down the stairs. The noises outside as things hit the door scared her, she wondered how long she would have to stay down here, she wondered if she should go back up and get her father. Remembering how he had laughed at Ellie’s death, seeming to take pleasure in the devastation on his young daughters face, she firmly decided that he was on his own. He would make her pay in countless ways later, but she knew it was a price she had to pay.
She got the lantern lit and it provided much more light than the weak flashlights that she turned off. The wind could be heard around the steel door and a little gray through the small window in the door, but nothing she could see beyond an absence of black through it. She looked around the storm cellar. Her grandparents and even her mother had stored things in here, but her father never did, he didn’t even use it, only swore that he had to cut around it in the backyard with the lawn mower. Occasionally she jumped as something fell against the door or window; she could sense the power of the wind.
Oh no! She remembered the box she had taken from Ellie’s home; she had forgotten it in her hiding place in her room. It was all she had to start over! She got up for a moment with the intention of heading back to the house, but a loud crash outside the storm door had her halting in her tracks.
