Eden's Eyes
“A cloudburst. Ten, maybe fifteen, minutes away, Danny figured. They came like that sometimes in the spring, swooping in out of nowhere, dropping their payload down a cold chute of wind and then pulling away. To the south of where he sat fishing, on the grassy verge of Whitefish Lake, the sky was a leaden wall of ill-contained fury. Sodden thunderheads played electric leapfrog, roiling one over the other in layers a mile thick, while lightning flickered deep in their dyspeptic bellies.
Yet direc...tly overhead the sky was a peaceable, unblemished blue. The sun beat down with a summery fervor, as if trying to ward off the coming squall; it felt good against the wadded scar that was Danny's neck, killing for a while its maddening itch. The surface of the lake spread away from him flat and clean, doubling the sphere of his bobber in flawless reflection.
In the distance, thunder rolled down a hardwood alley.
Let it come, Danny thought, bitterness seeping like bile into the well of his throat. See if I give a fuck.MoreLess
