As the chilly wind blew, Martha had a hunch that the glorious day was coming to an abrupt-end; she looked at others, who were enjoying their regular brunch.
“Comon Martha, party’s not started yet; hang on, and enjoy with us,” her friends asked her to stay on.
One look at the skies, and Martha felt uneasy; she urged the others to head home too, fast.
“Don’t be silly Martha,” came their stubborn reply instead.
Petite Martha, listened to her heart; but when from a little distance she looked back, she saw raging flames engulf her friends; the wind had turned ferocious.

Sometimes instincts work so perfectly. Btw, it should be 'hunch', if I am not mistaken.
