The wave

It happened in the middle of the night. It was like a crashing sound followed by a terrible shaking. I was deep asleep when it happened so I couldn't tell you what it looked like before it hit the ground but the sound it made echoed in my dream like it was happening only a few meters away from me. I kept my eyes closed, I didnt feel like getting up for what I thought was only a big truck passing too fast in the streets or a plane flying low. We had those from time to time and nothing bad ever happened.

But then I've heard the sound of my elder son's voice. ''Mom! Get up! It's on fire! You gotta see this!''
The adrenaline kicked in right away. My eyes were wide open and my heart pumping in my chest.
''What?! Fire? Is everyone ok!'' I looked around, he was by the window. Nothing look unusual, no smoke or flame.
''Its outside mom, not in the house look! The forest!''

I processed the information and stood up. My heart was still beating fast but I knew there was no emergency. I walked to the window and looked outside. Not far from our neighborhood was a large park with little forest area and a pond, from our window we could see that some of the trees were smashed and blown away by something as a weird pink glowing energy was setting some of them on fire.
''Ho my! I hope it wont spread! It's so close!''
''I dont think we have to worry it was raining a lot....'' My son started explaining but stopped mid sentence, looking at me with a weird look on his face, then he turned around and looked away. ''ermm.. mom..you're...''
I looked down and realised that in my moment of panic I came out of the bed without anything on. In the dark room it was hard to see, but the dim light from outside were enough to reveal to him the sight of my breast. His reaction was quite cute to be honest.
I grabbed a bathrobe from a nearby chair and covered myself before looking at the crash site.

''Is it a plane?'' I asked

''I thinks it a rock, like a meteorite or something!'' He told me, his eyes still peeking nervously toward my chest, like he was hoping to catch a glance of me again.
''Wow!'' I was shocked and in awe as the flames, already dying out by now sent out a eerie pink glow. Then, a wave of light, flashing before our eyes, followed by a woosh sound and the light went off.

It didn't take too long for the emergency to come on site and the firefighter took care of the remaining flames with ease.
I had time to relax again and decided I would be better to go back in bed, I could always look at it tomorrow or even later this week-end.

I was laying in my bed and suddenly I couldn't stop thinking about the look my son gave me and the awkwardness of that moment. Did he enjoy seeing me? Should I have stayed nude? Why am I thinking about this? I'll try to sleep now...but...
