Lord of Thunder (short story)
Written by Jayden Liam Katie
Darkened cloud's loom above as i make my way home, not yet a single drop of rain
but every now and then a clap of thunder can be heard.
This is no ordinary thunderstorm i thought as i turned the corner to Helix street which
for now i called home, as i made my way across my lawn i felt a sharp pain and fell to
the ground second's later a booming clap of thunder roared across the skies.
I was hit by lightning.
My body responded weakly as my body trembled i made my way to the front door
somehow i survived but for now i can't worry about that as i opened the front door
and slowly made my way to my room my body trembling with each step,
and as i reached my bed within my darkened room i collapsed no longer able to remain
conscious.
I awoke to the sound's of my t.v Saturday Disney was on, i gazed around my room
to find every electrical appliance was on, who turned all this on? no one else would be
home for another week i blinked a couple of time's as i rubbed my eye's and turned
my attention to the t.v now on a different channel giving the daily new's.
I made my way out of bed to the light switch which is currently in the off position,
hang on.... but my bedroom light is on. I was puzzled by this situation as i scratched
my head, i flicked the switch, nope nothing the light is still on, i flicked the switch again
..... still nothing. Strange.
I opened my bedroom door to the hallway as i slowly made my way to the bathroom.
I jumped slightly as the hallway light turned on, in a world as strange as our's is the
current situation was still strange and puzzling to me, as i reached the end of my hallway
the sound's coming from my t.v ceased.
Is it me? is my presence turning everything on? as i walked through my home the occurrences follow me, i soon decide to go to the backyard because if it is me then what happen's if there is no electrical appliance's around me to charge?.
I soon found out as i got outside, the warm morning sun shinning down upon me
the gentle breeze against my skin, the bee flying towards me and the neighbours......
bee? i panicked as i jumped back and held my arms up to protect myself.
As loud as a clap of thunder and the bee was charcoal as though it was struck by.......
I was struck by lightning and now my body can generate static electricity my body
was supercharged and that's why i survived but now.... i don't know what to do next.
the end
