Summary
Stiles is struck by lightning then some weird things happen.
He remembered the lightning game he and Scott used to play as kids, counting the seconds between lightning and thunder to estimate the storm's proximity. By his calculations, the storm was directly overhead—thunder following lightning by less than a second. By their childish logic, the eye of the storm was less than a mile away.

He was nearing Derek’s house when it happened. The hairs on his arms stood on end, his ears buzzed, and his fingertips tingled. He had read and watched enough of “I Shouldn’t Be Alive” to know exactly what this meant. What he didn’t know was what he should do. Should he stop? Run? Take cover? Did lightning follow movement? Should he drop to the ground? Roll?
He kept running. Derek’s house was just ahead. If he could make it—
A deafening boom rang out, and Stiles’ vision went white. Pain engulfed him, as though his body were ablaze.
