That odd moment!

I hear the rain and soon the power goes off. Dark. Quiet. I hear the rain a lot clearer, the thunder too! The lightning is brighter - no artificial light to pollute the scene. I stand at the door and watch - the rain I can hear but not see, the lightning I see but can't hear, the buildings bright at a distance, the neon lights burning atop the building on the main road, the headlight odd vehicle lighting up the street below, the headlights of vehicles on another road leave designs on another wall...

...just another night to go, and I'd be gone...the building would get taller, the lights brighter...
