Excerpt from Wish I’d Known You Tears Ago:
The flash of white light and the explosion hit at exactly the same moment. The blast shattered windowpanes and ripped the front door from its hinges. The heavy door slammed down on the front porch. The wind roared like a convoy of semi-trucks, and rain pelted the covers like a barrage of BBs.
“Mother!”
“Delaney, are you alright?”
“Don’t get out of bed,” Casey warned.
The second blast sounded to the north a few feet and the third somewhere in the corrals to the southwest.
“What is it?”
“We got hit by lightning,” Casey shouted. “The residual jolt can kill you. This cabin is electrified. The mattresses insulated us.”
“What do we do, Casey? There’s busted glass all over my bed.”
“Just give it a little time. It will die down quick.”
From somewhere near the arena, thunder boomed and lightning flashed.
Casey barked the orders. “When the lightning flashes, look for your tennies and reach for them without touching the floor.”
Develyn slipped her shoes over her cold toes.
At the next flash of lightning, Casey raced across the smoky cabin wearing short pajamas and cowboy boots. Long, black hair flagged behind her as she draped a sheet like a superhero cape.
Smoke-generated tears ran from her burning eyes as Develyn spotted her purse next to the busted lantern. Will it electrocute me to pick it up? It sizzled when she grabbed it and a shock like brushing against an exposed wire on Christmas lights, but she held on.
“The roof’s on fire, Mother!”
Develyn glanced back at the flames. “Do we need to call the fire department?”
“We don’t have one,” Casey said. “Welcome to the frontier, Miss Dee.”
