“A category one hurricane” the news said.
“No worries, just a small hurricane, right?” I
uttered. Angie, my roommate, paid no attention to
the news. I walked to the kitchen, then opened
the pantry. I wasn't suprised to see a half empty
pantry. Angie loved food. “Hey, let's go get some
take-out” I suggested to her. “Maybe some...
Waffle house?” she replyed. “I mean, that place is
always open! Remember that hurricane last
month? Those doors were wide open!” She joked.
It was true. Waffle house was always open.
“Alright then” I said. I could see Angie's eyes
wide open. We drove to the nearest Waffle House.
Then, laid in my eyes, the most horrific thing
I saw. The closed sign on Waffle House.
Angie panicked. I panicked in my head too. How
was it possible for Waffle House closing on a
category 1..? Angie pointed at an employee
working there. “Hey you! Why is it closed?”
The employee, looking about 20, replied in a
rather chill manner. “You didn't hear? There's a
category 1 hurricane” “But you keep your doors
open all the time!” Complained my roommate
She's hard to shake off. Really hard. “Isn't it
crazy? Well, I'll go now.” said the employee.
We drove back to our apartment. “Well something
bad's gonna happen for sure.” Angie muttered. I
rolled my eyes. “It's 8:30 now, might as well
sleep!” I complained. That girl can be cuckoo.
“Ugh, goodnight.” She said. We laid off to bed. I
woke up in the middle of the night to the
hurricane. It didn't feel like a category 1. It wasn't
a category 1, I just knew it. “Angie! Wake up! Get
in the basement now!” I said in a panicked way.
I was more of a mature person, but not this time.
Just not now. Angie didn't budge. I had no
choice than to carry her to the basement. She
woke up in the rather dirty mattress. She jolted
up. “Why are we in here?” She said. “Doesn't
matter, we're clearly in a bad situation!”
I told her. I peeked through the small window. A
category 5 it looked. “But waffle house would still
be open..” I muttered. But I saw what seems to
be.. An entity. Completely black. Wrecking havoc
in this neighborhood. I almost had a panic attack
when Angie said in a solemn voice. I wasn't sure
if that was even Angie. She said in a deep,
solemn voice.... “We're in Ohio..” I was frozen.
Everything went black.

Paragraphs and dialogue breaks are very important.
