UPDATE:
Thunder is undergoing a rewrite, and has been taken down in the meantime. Stay tuned for updates.
Walking home one night, Cass meets a beaten and bloodied young man and chooses to do what she does best- meddle. Despite his resistance, she stumbles across several things: an underground fighting ring, an alluring darkness, and a violent storm brewing.
Max wants her to forget everything she saw- including him- but he quickly learns it won't be that easy. Of all his opponents, she may be the only one who can get the better of him- and he might want her to.
Until one gamble risks uprooting everything they're trying to protect.
One dark and stormy night- kidding. Thunder opens on an average, cold October night in Canada; well, about as average as it gets when you run into someone who is infuriatingly stubborn and unwilling to cooperate. Strong start, huh?
Thunder was born out of two primary inspirations. The first was a prompt: Start a scene with the sentence 'it feels good to burn'. The second is the song 'Boy In The Bubble' by Alec Benjamin. It was not originally intended to be a long project, so the story revolves around the characters and their growth. Hope you enjoy the ride!
