Statistically, Nearly Being Struck By Lightening is as Rare as Actual Contact. ================================
1. There was a burst of light, a crash of something like a falling sky. Black soot at the foot of my shoes: The lightening had struck, and then it had gone. I made no claim to special powers. Well, okay. I could exaggerate leaps into a bound, turn myself from mere 10 year old boy to precocious monk and child prodigy. And I could see through adults. But that is hardly a superpower. Instead: I gained the ability to withstand the extraordinary without taking part in it. So, hand me a cape. 2. Memory of the light grew dim. But I hold out hope in darkest nights that I will die of some overlooked internal burn. How nice to think I could be touched so deeply by any other light but yours. -e. _______________________________________________ Five7Five mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/five7five
