“Sure, it’s only thunder,” the people told each other.
The rumblings came and shook the town.
It didn’t matter that there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.
“Only thunder,” they told themselves.
Even as the factory convulsed.

Excellent story. You have captured a very modern dilemma very well. I like this take.
Thank you 🙂
