but it was only a meteor
This comment from Kenelm relates to a time when I was dining with two former (much-loved)neighbours, and their very bored, very cool teenage son, Chris. He was phasing in and out of a story I was telling them.
The story was about driving late at night along a road beside a nuclear reactor site in the North Island of NZ, when a huge clap of light appeared in the sky - like a vast, cosmic electric butterfly hitting the atmosphere.
Chris phased out of the conversation at this stage---too bored.
I went on to say I had feared it was a nuclear explosion, but realised that, had that been the case the car would have stopped going. I told them that arriving home that night I had heard what it was on the news...it was only a meteor.
Chris phased back in at just that moment, with an explosive laugh - he wanted to hear the story to which that was final point - of relief.
