Transparent

She wakes to the sound of thunder. It rattles through her entire body and builds, growing as it reaches the inside of her chest, exploding inside her. As she readies for a shower, she wonders, if lightening strikes, is there any chance it may electrocute her, leaving her lifeless and seared in her dingy shower stall? She hopes not, it has been months since last she scrubbed any part of her one room apartment she shares with her edgy cat, and that is no way to be found, however fitting.
