"Did you SEE that?!" Liam shouted, nearly bowling over his wife. He pointed a shaking finger. The old ash tree, a landmark, was gone, the culprit; wind. It had crashed onto the garage, a tangled mess of branches and splintered wood.

His heart thrummed against his ribs. He couldn't help but grin. He was buzzing with energy. He wanted to run and jump and yell.

He slowly walked towards the scene of the catastrophe. He felt this was a unique experience. He could barely keep his excitement under control.
