A Flash from the Heavens (One Shot Wednesday)


Bang of the drums, roll in the clouds,

Lightning assembles a mighty big crowd,

Rhythmic rumbles.  Rhythmic rumbles.

Building.  Trembling.  Roaring.

Crescendoing crash in the sky.

Flashing white light, tears to the ground,

Rips out a tree from nature's pure Earth.

Bright.... FLASH.

Then dark.
