“Lightning snapped the night sky like a jock’s gym towel on a dork’s butt.”
“Lightning struck, the sky roared, and the night cried a giant's tears, thunderous and inconsolable.”
“Like a lightning bug... Like a lightning bug?... Yes, just like a night lightning bug; because there are day lightning bugs too - even if nobody has ever seen one, I know there are some, and I know the day lightning bugs are the cockroaches that since they can't light up, people kill them.”
“Lightning. Once it has forked, hot-white, from sky to earth, there is no going back”
“The sea stood up before him, foaming, torn by lightning bolts, opening terrifying mouths that gobbled up the dense, hard black rains unleashed by the sky like hate.”
“The summer night was starless and stirless, with distant spasms of silent lightning.”
