She Crackled With Static Electricity.
Crackle Paint
A.
She crackles with static electricity so loudly, people
look at her in the streets. They turn heads, quicken pace, less
interested, that afraid. Gazing long, transforms them to sparks,
paper doilies, or battered post-war mailboxes, stamped with Royal
Crown seals.
B.
The Bizarre side effects of her electromagnetic pollution,
jerk psychical thoughts to galvanic tunes nobody else hears.
In Buckinghamshire aluminum plant, people see ghosts
carrying ferrous ingots, from one era, to another. No denizen
points, or exhibits impolite behaviors.
C.
Puzzling, and health risk goes hand in hand. Hypersensitivities illicit crazed behaviors in rodents, and spotted dogs. Patrons of favorite bars wipe brows, sculling catastrophe
as events collide present.
D.
She found the pattern almost a year later, folded into a tiny square, under an old jar back of her kitchen cupboard.
Its vividness upset her.
E.
Living in a seaside rambler where to local residents he seemed strangely mute but normal, Darren strips cause from effect. Tortured paths fingers wind carefully by night, blistering raw strand of Tesla coil. He's Invoked Angels, and alchemical Demons where
untold moons guide shaky hands wild-eye peal. But the heavy guillotine switch! Frankenstein movies Billy Kid, ferries insect to another world. And the lightning! here,
an empty Falklands shore.
Disappointed.

One, such as a painter or sculptor, who is able by virtue of imagination
and talent to create works of aesthetic value, especially in the
fine arts, which cause laughter or amusement, occasionally ascribed
to a combination of a beverage made of the fermented juice of
any of various kinds of grapes usually containing from 10 to 15
percent alcohol by volume and a solid food prepared from the pressed
curd of milk, often of season and age, a substance used in the
diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of a disease or as a component
of a medication, and a small roll of finely cut tobacco for smoking
enclosed in a wrapper of thin paper employed by the intellectually
weak, obtuse or stupid human consciousness that originates in
the brain and is manifested especially in thought, perception,
emotion, will, memory, and imagination. To make or become sharp
or sharper (stopped at think) this substance has been used by
the speaker or writer to indicate the speaker or writer along
with another or others as the subject second person singular and
plural and first and third person plural past indicative of be,
a narrow generally cylindrical implement for writing,
drawing, or marking, consisting of a thin rod of graphite, colored
wax, or similar substance encased in wood or held in a mechanical
