Week Twenty-Six (Explicit)

This weeks story is from Friday. It was late, maybe eight or nine 'O' clock. I hadn't walked my daily amount and I wanted to reach my goal so I went for a walk. It was pretty inclimate weather though. It was storming pretty bad and I was told not to go out because of the chance of getting struck by lightning. See where this blog is going now? Anyway I was walking along the sidewalk when I see lightning strike down and touch the earth, it was maybe half a mile to a mile away. I was carrying an umbrella because it was raining fairly hard as well. As soon as the bolt touched the ground I let go of my umbrella and dropped to my knees. The residual electricity had reach me by what's known as a side splash. When the electricity jumps from an object to a person. My umbrella had conducted it and sent it to my hand. It was like one of those shock pen jokes only one-hundred times worse. My hand felt like it was being stabbed with thousands of needles all at once and then suddenly being turned to stone. I couldn't feel my hand for maybe five minutes afterwards. I have a few bruises on my hand now because the electricity charged my blood cells and literally made them pop. I first noticed them yesterday but they're almost all gone now. Honestly, it hurt like a bitch but I'm sort of glad I had the experience to feel what it was like to be struck by lightning, granted it was such a lower voltage than actual lightning.
