"It wasn't a premonition. That was too strong a word.
But as I stood by the side of the road and watched the power line buffeted by the great, persistent gusts from the south, I had a sense--a distinct sense--that the line was going to snap. It was going to whip high above the wooden poles, then fall to earth, surrounded by the sparks from the nearby transformer. There it would electrify the ground. I was seventeen that afternoon and I saw it all in my mind: black thunderclouds rising above the fields behind the line, the corn tasseled, two Morgan horses looking wary as the walked in small circles in the fence-in meadow at the edge of the road, and the sparks as they pinwheeled like fireflies above the pavement."
Based on this intro, would you read more or pass on this book?
