The Storm

Thunder cracked across the sky, and Kayla’s mom Laura looked on with a half-nervous tiredness towards the TV screen as her eyes continued to drowsily blink, indicating she was drifting off to sleep. The awful storm had changed direction, and was barreling on a war path straight towards their area. Now forecasters claimed they would be most affected, and the strengthening thunderstorm would worsen as the early hours of morning would approach.

The house had wrapped up activities for the evening. Kayla had been recruited by her brothers to play 2 on 2 basketball outside, so she was sound asleep in her bed much like most of the others in her house. All seemed well, as the majority of the house slept unaware of the incoming torrents. Her dad snored on the couch, her three brothers had finished their late-night gaming session an hour ago, and her three sisters were also sound asleep in bed. The only difference between Kayla and her family's conditions on this night, was Kayla's choice of sleepwear.

Given it was the summer months, heat was expectedly high and draining in Kayla's small bedroom. The space had been a large bonus room originally and the builder had skimped out on quality insulation for the room. This left Kayla with borderline nonexistent air-conditioning, which could barely lower her average nightly room temperature from a sweltering 87 degrees to the modest temperature of.... 82 degrees. Even if she rolled her window down to equalize with the night air, even without blankets, Kayla grew insomniatic and restless in the summer months. Finally, she decided the only thing left to try was sleeping with less clothes. She started with just panties and a T-Shirt instead of her usual flannel PJs at first, and it slightly improved her sleep in response. Then, in order to reach the best equilibrium possible, Kayla decided a few nights prior that she would go to sleep completely naked. Her sleep instantly improved by leagues, so much so that her mom had to wake her up for the first time in a year the morning after. So far there hadn't been an issue since she could easily get dressed before leaving her room.

With a storm coming, what could possibly happen that throws Kayla into a compromising and embarrassing situation at three in the morning?
