Going Under: Hold Your Breath

Part 10: James

James was outside of Wal-Mart when the sun started to show its ass over the horizon.
"Fuck. I need to get home. The fuck is my uber at? Oh thats right, fucking Kingpin was my uber and now he's gone. I need to go home. I need to go home," Kent said to himself.
A breathtaking explosion of light flashed in front of James. When he regained his balance he was in front of his, oblivious to the destruction around him.
When he opened his front door, he found his entire family crouched down on the living room floor.
"James are you alright," his mom cried.
James looked puzzled, how did he get here so fast, Wal-Mart is five miles away.
"What's going on," James asked himself and his family.
They looked at him dumbfounded, silence was thick in the room.
"A lightning bolt hit you, we saw it hit you. When it did the sound was so loud that it threw all of us on the floor," his mom said.
"But the sun is barely out, its seven in the morning. Wait. Its seven in the morning," James asked.
"Yeah," his dad answered.
When James checked on his phone at Wal-Mart for his uber the time was 6:59 am.
"Oh fuck," James muttered. He reassured his family that he was ok.
James walked outside of his house and called up his best friend, Kent.
