Lightning storms.
She loved always loved the rain and the loud roaring of thunder. The quick flashes of light it brought to her room was relaxing and she made sure to leave her window open for the sounds lulled her to sleep. But she also hated them only because―
"Shay! The power went out again! Go reset it!"
It always caused the breaker to give out and it seem every time it went out she was the one that had to go reset it.
"Why can't you do it!" Shay shouted annoyed and slightly sleepy.
"I don't know how! Now hurry up! We want to watch a movie!" her sister who was five years older than her yelled back.
"It better be a good movie" Shay muttered to herself but stood up anyway to go reset the breaker. She grabbed a flashlight from the hallway closet and made her way outside to the backyard.
Raindrops pelted against her hair and clothing in a soothing way that made whatever anger she had before vanishing. She walked beside the house staying close to the wall to make sure she didn't get too wet while making her way to the circuit box at the edge of the house. When she reached it, she popped it open and shined some light on it.
"There you are" she mumbled as she spotted the switch that was flipped in the opposite direction than the others. She brought up a wet hand and flipped the switch back to its original position. She yelped in pain and quickly removed her right hand away from the circuit box.
"Fuck!" she hissed she could still feel the shock coursing through her finger tips and up the length of her arm.
Note to self: Never touch the breaker if hands are wet.
She closed the circuit box back up and went back inside once more.
"Thanks Shay!" her eight-year-old brother said with a smile.
She shrugged and ruffled his hair, "Sure, what movie is it anyway?"
"Wreak-It Ralph" Her sister answered taking a seat on the couch. She went into her room to change into some dry clothes and returned back into the living room and sat on the couch with them, propping her feet on the coffee table. She watched her little brother put in the disk to the DVD player.
"Cool" she replied back. Wreak-It Ralph was probably one of the few Disney movies she truly enjoyed besides Lilo & Stitch of course.
"It's not working" her brother frowned as he kept pushing play on the DVD player.
She rolled her eyes "That's because you have to change the TV to Video 1 first" she told him. Her sister grabbed the remote and switched it the proper channel and the movie had begun to play. She shifted uncomfortable, her arm still tingled in pain from the shock she had received when fixing the breaker.
"Where's mom?" she asked out of the blue. Anything to take her mind off the pain.
"Mom went shopping for groceries and dad still not home from work yet" her brother answered.
"Shh" her sister hushed them as the movie began.
Things were going fine until the movie kept freezing on the scene where they open the arcade.
"Did you scratch the disk?" Shay asked her brother, a little irritated and stood up to see if she could fix it. It seemed like her brother always managed to scratch all of their DVD's and they would always freeze or skip over some scenes.
"No! We just got it yesterday! It's brand new!" he argued.
Shay brought up her right hand up flexing it twice to stop it from shaking so much and pressed play again on the DVD player to start it once more. When nothing happened, she checked the back to make sure everything was connected even going as far as taking out the disk again and cleaning it.
"Come on you piece of shit! Work!" she pouted and pressed play one last time. Nothing happened. She opted to pressing the button repeatedly out of frustration and finally unplugged it to switch it out with her old Xbox that she now used as a make shift DVD player. But even that didn't seem to get the movie to play.
Please review!
