What are you doing out in a hurricane? Come in. Hurry. Come in.
Chapter 5 · War Is
Angela braved a night of wild electrical storms, to come to her husband at the glass shop. And as the evening moved from late night to early morning, they talked and talked as they hadn't in years ... but suddenly there was a thunder-like sound in the shop itself: a stone had been thrown through the large plate glass window that had been the store front, but was now scattered in shrapnel-like bits everywhere.
Through the gaping hole in the front of the shop, entered a knife-weilding, masked stranger who moved toward Angela and the man — closing in, slashing, stabbing.
But with the wind and the storm and a violent lightning strike, the inert glass-scrap figure that the man had sculpted started to move ... to twist ... to rock ... and to sail from out of the darkness of a corner of the shop — right at the attacker, knocking him unconscious.
When the police later arrived, the officer noted in his report that the assailant had been subdued by the glass statue.

Car horns screamin’ and cruisers flashin’,
Light wires are downed and live,
Lightning strike on the Union Station,
What’s that gripping the power line?
