he crossed his fingers that the rain
would holdup until he got home
it wasnt
long now ten longfifteen minutes
suddenlywest through rainspattered windows he
glimpsed lightning cry disconnected lines jagged broken panestheir quicklight
either absorbed or subduedstrangled by towering black dense thunderheads a wall
of thunderheads
awCHRIST he
hoped he beat those home
the intermittent rain was foreplay
butthen something east drew his eyesdistracted him marbled yellowamber blushes occasionally it seemed to him the light they threw was
electrical light asif off exploding electrical transformers
one occurred ahead before the black of a ridge several miles away and

giant if he were to believe his eyes Atlas Titan freed of the sky
off the
highway a shower of redsparks blacker
smoke rising up into the black skyrivulets black ink the giant giant in one step he
crossed the four lanesthe median between them
the thunderheads he strove towards were taller making haste
seemed he was excited by them
the staticky music on the radio was interrupted again civil danger warning if it wasnt an emergency stay inside stay off the roads existing tornado conditions
he hadnt passed a car a car hadnt passed him except for twothree on the other side over ten minutes
almost home
almost home
almost home
no Atlas
no more explosions
dancing thunderheads
