That was half the fun of ordering online he thought to himself. Blake didn’t remember ordering anything, but he often forgot about his Amazon Prime purchases before they arrived. Blake shook his head quietly as he watched the driver in the cab of the truck. Even in 10+ inches of water this one had managed to skid the tires and grind the gears. It seemed like all FedEx drivers specialized in destroying transmissions and brakes. He continued to watch the truck as it turned the corner and stopped in front of the house.
Each one thudding on the roof individually, but in unison creating a dull roar. Hard, pounding, tropical rain with drops that seem the size of grapes.
An ocean was a fitting comparison to how much water had fallen in Houston. It reminded Blake of a ship in the ocean. It was pushing water up into yards with it’s wake. Blake shook his head and thought, “What the fuck are they doing out in this?” He looked again, and the FedEx truck was trundling down the street. He could see the delivery truck making it’s way down the street.
