Something Beautiful
As I sit here at the computer in a room on the second story, there is a window to my back that overlooks a panoramic view of this area of the city. There is a nearby baseball stadium that regularly shoots off spectacular fireworks displays at the end of winning games. The booms are exaggerated by echoes off of the ridge that the house is on. Tonight, there is a massive thunderstorm looming across the horizon a dozen or so miles away. As the fireworks explode into sparkling orbs, bright atmospheric lightning continuously lights up the sky and clouds with incredibly long horizontal arcs, sending low rumbles to mingle with the echoing booms. Occasionally, a long and bright fork of pure whiteness hits the ground, unobscured by the distant rain and mist.
