Flash Fiction: Lightning Storm

     A deafening crack sounds, making me jump, followed by a flash of light. The world has made its own terrifyingly beautiful firework show.

    I make hot chocolate and go grab a blanket from my room. I accidentally step on my dogs tail, the other half of him hidden under the bed.

     I watch this amazing show of lights while sitting on my couch. I'm glad I'm safe inside. Until I'm not. A crashing sound slams into my house. Sparks are everywhere. I grab my dog and run outside.

     I cry as I watch my beautiful home burn to the ground. If I hadn't been so distracted by the beauty, I would've seen how close it had become. And then maybe I'd be able to save some of my precious worldly things.
