Daniel Hale and his family all huddled up on the sofas near the fire as they watched TV while sipping hot cocoa. There was a thunderstorm outside and his sisters were frightened, he personally liked this kind of weather, it made him feel excited, when he was younger and there was a storm he would sit for hours on end staring out of the window, looking at the sky in awe.

He glanced out of the living room window and saw a massive lightning bolt strike down right next to his house, it rumbled, the house shook and the electricity went off.

He heard his sisters whimpers and sighed, tomorrow he would check out what kind of mark it had left. He got up, leaving his parents to comfort his sisters and went to his room. His room was nice and cosy, just how he liked it. The walls were painted dark blue and the ceiling was white. He had a single bed in the far right side corner and by the side of it was a bedside cabinet with a lamp and a digital clock on it. In the far left corner he had his computer desk and on top of it was his precious Apple laptop. In the right corner he had a flat screen tv so he could watch TV while he was in bed. Magazines about videogames were strewn across the carpet and a few of his PS3 discs were scattered on the floor.

He glanced at the clock and decided he would go to bed seems as he couldn't watch TV. He stripped and put on his pajamas, he went to the bathroom which was opposite his room and left his clothes on the floor next to the shower,his mother would pick them up tomorrow. He brushed his teeth and then went back to his room and got under his sheets, curling up in a ball and going to sleep.

He woke up in the morning to the sound of birds chirping next to his window, he yawned, rubbing his eyes and rolled over. He looked at his clock and it said that it was five past ten.

He dragged himself out of his bed and went and had a shower, he changed into a pair of jeans and a simple black T-shirt, going downstairs and into the kitchen for breakfast. He sat down at the dining table after mumbling good morning to his parents while his mother served him pancakes with mayple syrup. After stuffing himself until he could barely walk he decided to go outside and see where the lightning bolt struck.

When he got to the garden he saw one of the bushes a bit burnt and guessed that it had struck somewhere near there. He went behind it and searched around confused, the lightning bolt should of left atleast some damage. He glanced at the floor and spotted a golden ball the size as a golf ball and as smooth as marble, he picked it up and was suprised at how  heavy it actually was, he examined it for a minute before sighing and putting it into his pocket and made his way back inside.
