"Mum," Esther's small hands clutch tightly at my dress and she begins to pull earnestly.
"What is it?"
"I saw lightning just now!"
What?
"Esther, honey, that was probably a lapse in your vision. We haven't eaten in a day now--I'll get you some food soon, don't worry." It couldn't have been lightning. That would have required light, something our city hasn't seen in years.
"Mum, I really saw lightning just now. It was just like the way you'd described it in your stories--it was all bright and fast and stuff and it was there for just a second!"
Just then, a distant rumble sounded in the air, and I pulled Esther to me. Maybe our city would see light once more.
