Lightning struck a nearby tree. It was pouring out. And the first thing that came to my head when the lightning struck was, "It's a dark and stormy night."
Probably the shittiest way for a book to start, but it's the way this one does.
My name is Grant Tot, and yes, I've heard all of the jokes about my name before. No Napoleon Dynamite is not my role model, and yes I do like tater tots. And thank you very much it's pronounced Tote. I've got dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and a mischievous look on my face. I'm almost six feet tall and enjoy sleeping in on weekends, eating lots of pizza, and reading comic books.
It was exactly 11:02 when the lightning struck. I still remember that moment today. That was the moment that everything in my life changed. But lightning striking is no big deal right? I was at home, sitting on my couch eating cookies and drinking hot chocolate when it hit the middle of my back yard. I was confused as to why it hit the center of the yard though. Lightning is supposed to strike the tallest tree or other object, not some flat space, but there was proof otherwise. I got up from the couch and looked out the window at the smoking crater in the earth. I could see steam rising up from the dark hole. And then something moved out from the crater.
