meteor

Last night I went for a walk, mailing something at the nearby postbox and stretching my legs. On the way back from the box, I remembered that the Perseids were occurring just then. Not really expecting to see anything because the city lights were too bright, I decided to look up. After a bit, I saw a few stars, but not many. Then I saw the most magnificent meteor I've ever seen in my life. Most meteors draw a pencil line across the sky and then disappear, but this one made a fat line across the sky, and went out in a flash of light. Of course, I didn't hear any sound, but it seemed like I should.

Absolutely amazing.
