Thunder & Lightning

There's a big ol' storm a'brewin right now and I love it.   Take the prompt of "thunder & lightning" and go with it.  Don't be obvious (don't write me something blah about a rainstorm)- use it as a springboard, take it off the beaten path. 

 

I am allowing prewrites this time, so long as they actually fit the theme.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on April 30
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 300, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    Excellent entries, everyone should be proud of themselves!! I was really happy with them.

    I had a tough choice to make but in the end, it came down to my reaction to each. I added points and HMs due to the caliber of the pieces. I rarely find cause to do this so again, kudos on your excellent entries!!

    I hope you read some of the other entries, be they placers or not - lots of good stuff to sample.

    Gold - Unbridled - that description of lighting sealed it.
    Silver - Last Lament 2 - so smooth and strong in the face of lost loves come to haunt you
    Bronze - Heaven's Corner - instead of the storm being wild, it's the girl who wants to break free - excellent!

    And the HMs - Black Label, Storm Tossed Musings and Will Power.

    Thanks guys!

    Thank-you so very much for gold...
    But more especially, for finding my write
    filled with imagery and emotion to suit
    the prompt. My warmest congrats to all
    who had their work recognized here. Blue
