Kiran Sookhai #1 - Wit's End

When the thunder cracked, he felt the desire beating inside him like a drum.  He wasn’t quite sure when it began or where it came from, but it was coursing through his body as strong as his own heartbeat.  It was this displaced yearning that led him out the front door into the raging storm.  It sent him to the empty field across the street where he dropped to his knees in the muddy ground and raised his arms as if in supplication.  As the rain beat down on him, the sky opened and a single bolt of bright light erupted and struck him square in the chest.  When he felt the electricity pulse through him, he finally felt new again.
