Might as well....................

 It started in the galley of my wobbly old house during a lightning storm that fried a nearby transformer.  A sizzling boom rattled the windows.  Combusted ozone drifted bayward and sweetened the air while rain hammered the tin roof.

     The lights went out.

     "Perfect," my boat bum pal, Tomlinson, said.  "Natural disaster is humanity's last hope. The internet has butt-ravaged us all and looted our privacy.  I say bring on the pale rider.  Might as well have another beer, huh?"
