Thunder and Lightning begins at Part One HERE.
Part Five
Wait….something didn’t look right. It was then I noticed that the cars going by out front were classics! Beautiful old cars from the 1930’s and not a mark on them. I remember thinking that there must be a car show in town or something. About that time, a woman with a couple of kids in tow came walking past me…and were openly staring at me like I had just stepped off of a UFO or something….maybe my fly was down or something. Why were they acting like that? I noticed she was wearing a dress and a matching hat too, not common nowadays in small towns. Everyone is normally in jeans or shorts. Wait, that’s an old dress too…hmm maybe she was with the car show.
I turned towards the station…having momentarily forgotten the storm. It was then I noticed the building. It looked brand spanking new. The bricks looked like they had been laid yesterday, not the last century. I knew the city was talking to a contractor about some remodeling but wow, this was some great work! That was when the door opened and out walked a fireman in dress uniform. He headed down the street, but he too was looking at me funny. Hey who was that guy? I’ve been a member at this department for 30 years…and I don’t remember ever seeing this fellow. His uniform looked old school too. I thought about stopping him and asking him what was up but the way he was looking at me, I figured either he or I must be crazy, so I didn’t chance it.
