This energy is released when saturated air rises rapidly into the atmosphere, occasionally rising so quickly they briefly overshoot the tropopause and penetrate the stratosphere. They not only require massive amounts of energy but also specific environmental conditions need to be met as well. The factors that affect growth and development are the environment’s temperature and moisture level, also the wind speed and direction.

Your story goes here: It was one of the worst thunderstorms of the year as I was watching a movie at my uncle's house. The heavy rain splattering the window beside me and the distant thunder gave a calming ambience to the dull background. It was around 9:30 pm that I decided to head to bed. I gently opened the door and tiptoed across the hall, quiet to not wake up my sleeping uncle, who wouldn't exactly be calm about being woke up. My uncle was slightly groggy fellow, he wasn't exactly what you’d call a exciting person. He has black shaggy hair compared to my slick blond hair, he wears usually loose clothing so his belly usually bulges out too. As I crawled into my bed, I still heard the rainy dripping outside as my sight faded to black. I woke to a banging sound, I thought it was something that fell from downstairs, something not uncommon in the the old house. I decided to climb out of bed and look out the window. I undid the curtains and tried to see through the murky glass. I cleared the fog from the window and looked outside. The field behind our house was all I saw. I looked at the cellar under my window and saw nothing too. “Yep something fell,” I remember murmuring. I climbed back into bed and dozed away again. I woke again to another bang, I looked to my left to see the time and saw I had only slept 30 minutes. I was now becoming confused, why would something fall twice in the night, thunder can't shake a house. Can it?

And now he knows that it's not a bug, it was something like a person. He couldn’t get enough courage to get up and go look what made the sound. He finally got the courage to look out the window. All he saw was a balloon on the end of the driveway. He didn't know how it got there or who would put it there at 3 in the morning.
