My pet rock stared at me from the shelf with the googly eyes I glued on it as a kid. I remembered the hats I would make for it and smiled. Today was rainy and it was nice to see a smile during such an ugly day. The thunder rumbled and it was only getting louder. All of a sudden the house lit up with a loud bang as the house was struck by lightning. Everything was quiet for a moment when I suddenly heard a light rumbling.

I followed the noise back to the shelf I was looking at and found my pet rock rolling around. Once I got close it stopped and slowly turned around to face me. I was shocked, to say the least, but then it spoke. 
"Hello! It's nice to finally meet you!" it said to me. I screamed and ran to the other side of the room. 
"Don't be scared," it said "I'm your friend."
