Eerie, Indiana fanfiction: The Storm

[froodle]

Written for Day 16 of the 31_days challenge. Today's prompt is Lightning strikes twice



When Weatherman Wally received the memo saying there was to be an enormous lightening storm above Eerie on Friday night, he didn't think much of it. It seemed like every week there was some supernatural occurrence that required a little extra help to properly set the mood. He'd long ago learned to keep a supply of horror-movie-appropriate weather events handy for situations like this one.

When he read the scene notes that accompanied it, he was a little surprised at the added level of specificity. He brought his concerns to his producer, who looked nervous and sweaty and said that if the Mayor of Eerie wanted multiple consecutive lightening strikes on the weathervane atop City Hall, then that's what he would get, and no, Wally was absolutely not to call Mayor Chisel up and bother him with questions about City Hall's electrical conductivity and the potential loss of life that could come from shooting hundreds of thousands of vaults through a giant municipal meat-palace occupied by dozens of people and hundreds of things that only looked like people.

In the end, Wally did as he was told, just as he always had. The night sky above Eerie blazed white-hot with the force of the storm, lightening struck the weathervane, and in the basement of City Hall, Dash X opened his eyes for the first time and sat upright on the cold stone slab.
