the lightning

It was the darkest stormy day of my childhood, my cousin kirby and brother Choice and myself where about thirteen years of age. We didnt have much to do at my grandmothers house across the street from my cousins house on the outside of town in Duncan Oklahoma. So we went to his house and had a very long session on mortal kombat on Kirbys Nitendo 64. As the lightning boomed we joked about the chicken coop about 100 yards away possibly getting struck and having fryed chicken to eat that night. As the storm finnaly calmed after what seemed like days of killing each other at mortal kombat we decided to go check on the chickens. We left the house and begain the voyage to the chicken coop. The sound of the screeching old screen door always got on my nerves. We began to climb the fence which had 2 long useless poles and a piece of barbed wire across it. As me and Kirby were on the fence BOOM the piece of barbed wire was struck by lightning. Sparks exploded from the fence but we were not hurt physicaly, mentaly though we were in terror. We sprented and cryed like school girls from the fright, we circled my cousins house a few times from the excitment without saying a word to each other then bolted almost as quickly As the lightning back to our grandparents. my grandparents  never belevied our story but the three of us will surely never forget it.
