I imagine that if "the Rapture" (and its accompanying Armageddon) were ever to actually occur, then the fire would rage even through "a dark and stormy night...."
I was taking macros of raindrops on the car window, but decided I liked the one of the rooflines better; I left some token drops (or are they tears?) in the upper-right corner to "prove" what I was doing.
As I often do when presented with a flat lighting situation, I played around with color Curves until I found this one, which in turn inspired the title. I see it as the equivalent of having shot with a deep-color filter. I wanted somethng which resembled a painting in feel, yet was clearly a photograph.
Title from the "standard" inkblot test used for psychological profiling, because of the suggestively-shaped clouds.
Bonus hint: Tilt your head 45° to the left and check out the cloud pattern(s) along the left-hand edge ...
Note: this version has very slight burning applied to clouds on the left.

What I saw in the clouds:
A patriarchal face: A fire-breathing dragon (with one clogged nostril): A ferocious wolf:
