"Going Bovine" by Libba Bray Post 3

Here is a cool part of the book that I like how Bray wrote it. "A sonic boom of thunder drowns me out. Lightning crackles around us, and I get a glimpse:Big dude. Black armor glistening like oil. Spiked helmet, steel visor. Sword. The light bounces off the sword in arcs that hurt my eyes. Sword. He's got a fucking sword! Darkness falls again, and after the intense lightning, the night seems thicker than before. I can't see, can't move, can't think, can't do anything but breathe quick as a fish washed up on the beach, hoping to catch a wave back to safety. Lightning shreds the dark for another two seconds. He's gone. (Bray 71)"

In this part, Cameron was just biking home from, his friend, Eubie's music shop and he takes a back road instead of his normal direct route. This is before he is diagnosed with Mad Cow Disease. He sees giants made of flames as the storm forms itself over the fields. When trying to escape them, he runs into this knight or samurai. Cameron makes it home alive and then has another encounter with a fire giant coming out of his toaster. Nobody else in his family sees the fire giant. He is frozen with fear and is shaking and fighting. After this he ends up in a hospital bed where he expects to live the rest of his life at.
