sky

He stared outside at the pouring rain. Upward the power lines dangled down to the road shooting fireworks of sparks. The sky cut out black then white, grey again. He looked at the bracelet as it hummed warm on his wrist. He tapped it a few times. He flipped open his laptop and tabbed through the windows. He tabbed through the windows again, opened the door, and stepped out. It was black then white again in the sky, then grey once more. He walked through the puddle towards the line in bare feet. He grabbed the power lines. The bracelet froze and the sky was white for an hour.
