Flash

It was in Miami, a torrential downpour was starting. I watched the sickening glow of lightning as it crashed with the booming thunder always following. They worked almost as if they were on a team, one after the other, to try to collapse the sky. I was alone in my room watching the sudden streak of light coming through the room from my window.
