Lightning flashed outside transforming the night into a ghostly apparition of the day. Hollows in the lawns of his neighbors pooled with water that came too fast for the sewers and ditches to remove. The downspouts off his house rattled as a full load rushed through them. Still, too much water fell on the roof for the downspouts and the excess roiled over the edges of the eve troughs. Zack didn’t hear the sump pump that should be clicking on and off like a mad pirate crew bailing and struggling against the inevitable sinking of their wounded vessel. He jumped off the couch and went to the kitchen. The microwave clock was dark and dead. The power at the house was off! He grabbed a flashlight from the cabinet, clicked it on, and only saw a dull glow as the bulb faded. He shook it and the light remained off. He unscrewed the top and poured the batteries into his fingers. A flash of lightning showed him the crusty leakage around the rim of the top battery. He dropped the dead battery on the counter.
