A free excerpt of Perception because I want to captivate you

I felt a slight tremor underneath my feet. The popping grew stronger. A loud crash, almost like thunder, filled the room. Alana flinched, startled by the loud sound. This wouldn't be a problem if the late morning sun wasn't shedding light through the windows. With each deafening rumble came a tremor, each one stronger than the last. The table swayed back and forth. My milk spilled into my friend's lunch tray, a splash of it hitting his shirt.
