It all happened in one shocking instant.
Flash of lightning. Explosion of thunder. Power blackout. She sat
frozen in the dark family room, wide eyes fixed on a now-black
screen. Clicks and whirrs of cooling appliances were the only sounds
to break the stunned silence. She allowed herself to exhale. No
fire. No smoke. No sirens. Damn, that was close. Had she replaced
the flashlight batteries? Where were the candles? Damn, that was
close.
