Story Arc
  1. Lightning arrived laughing, fingers quick and bright; Thunder followed, heavy and sure
  2. The land softened and leaned in — together, they fed roots and rivers
  3. Then Lightning began to outrun itself
  4. Applause pulled it forward; speed became a habit
  5. The charge faded before Thunder arrived
  6. Strength landed on ground no longer open
  7. Soil cracked; fire leapt; growth turned to fear
  8. The land learned to flinch at the smell of storms
  9. Welcome withdrew without a word
  10. Lightning noticed fear and withdrawal where applause used to be, before it understood why
  11. It climbed back into the sky and asked
  12. The whole storm was revealed at once
  13. They returned together, and the land slowly opened again
  14. Lightning learned to wait; Thunder learned to hold; the land learned to trust the timing of storms
  15. Storm and soil moved as one again — not by force, but by rhythm
