Thunderstorm
Wow. The most amazing thunderstorm just passed through. Bright white flashes followed by loud thunderclaps and distant rumbling. It reminds me of early scenes in Spielberg's War of the Worlds. You can almost imagine the hot white light and sounds having a sinister purpose.
My younger son woke up. He was already troubled that my wife is out of town. The storm didn't help. I tried to help him back to sleep in the pitch black darkness of his room. The rumbling thunder intruded. The white light from the lightning formed perfect bright flickering rectangles around the shades of his windows. Eventually he fell asleep but only after the storm had rumbled off into the distance.
