Struck By Lightning

Light thunder rumbled in the distance as I walked out of the print room onto the car park with tons of copies in hand. Tomorrow thousands of people will know my name! I lightly squealed with excitement at the thought of it. I pressed the key FOB to open my new car from across the car park. BAM.

Isn't it funny? When your life finally goes right and suddenly 1 thing can make it go a billion times worse all over again. Oh, what's that? You say it's about as likely as getting struck by lightning? Well, nothing's impossible.

But I was right. Everyone would know my name. But not for the reason I had intended...

I'm Laura Black, the editor of the ClarityField high school chronicle. Or at least I was till I was struck by lightning. This is about my last month, alive. I hope you enjoy the painful truth.
