What did it feel like to witness something stand out so much that everything else became background noise or darkness.
It wasn't the first time Michael had heard people use this phrase to describe something or a moment, but it was the first time he was witnessing it with his own eyes.
Except unlike others, his own situation was not a figure of speech.
It was something so bright that it drowned everything in the surroundings.
And it was headed straight down at him.
The lightning struck.
The massive pillar of light descended directly onto Michael's position with absolute precision, as if the heavens themselves had locked onto him.
BOOOOOOM!!!
The impact was catastrophic.
The ground collapsed instantly.
A deep crater formed at the point of contact as the force of the lightning blasted through the earth. Soil, stone, and shattered roots were thrown outward in a violent explosion, tearing apart everything within dozens of meters.
Trees disintegrated.
