The strange sounds continued for a minute or two. Nothing happened. She returned inside, sat in the middle of the large sofa, and put her computer back on her lap.
Then the hissing, crackling and popping suddenly burst into an enormous, roaring, ear-splitting explosion that pierced through the sky and the walls.
At once, everything around her cracked into a cloud of smashing glass, wood and concrete. The couch, with her still on it, got projected three meters away from the wall. She saw her laptop disappear from her hands, her books fly out of the shelves, and her mind collapse into utter panic.
