Darkness.
Stinging needles of water
Getting faster, faster.
The sky opens up.
The rain gushes from the sky,
Flooding the dry plants.
Boom!
Silence.
A blinding flash,
bright as the sun.
Darkness,
as black as pitch.
Light!
Flames consume a tree nearby.
Creaking...
Snap!
The tree falls,
Creating an inferno.
Destroying everything in its way.
The flames coming closer...
And closer...
They consumes the world.
Forever.
Darkness.
