The smell of burnt grass rose from the field, a stench so powerful that it could be smelt from the distant road. A murder of crows had risen when the bolt of light fell, slamming into the damp earth so hard it left a crater three feet in. The ground had shaken, the telephone wires crossing overhead rippling in one giant wave before everything stopped once more.
The world went silent.
Miles away, smoke was rising from a different field, a field of concrete and tar. Sirens were screaming, lights flashing red and blue across twisted metal. But here, the only light that shone down on the body in the crater was that of the moon, heavy and full. His eyes had not yet opened to accept it.
