Thunder & Lightning
I’m sitting at the ‘designated smoking area’ at work right now & feeling really jumpy. Why? Cos right now, it’s raining pretty heavily & there’s lightning & thunder, two of several things that I don’t really enjoy…
In the span of 5 minutes, I’ve had a couple of shocks due to the thunder..I just don’t like them. I keep thinking that the lightning’s gonna strike me down one day. All because it almost happened to me when I was younger.
First time was when I was probably about a little girl of 8 years. There I was happily playing with my toys at the main gate of my grandma’s place when suddenly this bolt of lightning struck barely 10 metres away from me!! Now, I remember clearly that I almost peed in my pants & that night I had a high fever due to the shock. Second time was when I was about 17. I was in school,walking along the corridor when lightning struck,again, about 10 metres away. This time, I ended up crying & shaking in class for at least 2 hours..I was that scared!!
Since then, I’ve dreaded being outside when the weather’s like this…sigh…weird thing is, I’ve done some of the most wonderful things on days like this(what I’ve done during these moments shall remain a secret)…shoot…i better go hide now..don’t want to tempt fate…
