Every few seconds, the sky would split apart with a flash of blinding white lightning, illuminating the wild, thrashing rose bushes around her before plunging the world back into an inky, suffocating darkness.

It sounded like chimes, tinkling in a light summer breeze. She smelled fragrant, sweet iris flowers and phlox. The earthier scents, the cypress trees, and the bayou.
