He saw the flaming wings of lightning flash before his vision.

There was a deafening rumble of thunder within his head.
Suddenly his legs seemed to die.

He sank writhing to the ground.

He tried to arise.

In his efforts against the numbing pain he was like a man wrestling with a creature of the air.
There was a sinister struggle.
Sometimes he would achieve a position half erect, battle with the air for a moment, and then fall again, grabbing at the grass.
