The storm still raged outside. Everyone waited for the power to come back on. Everyone wanted to sit in silence however Eric had an overactive imagination. Eric thought it wasn't a storm.
It was giants! They did live in the forest after all.
Dragons! The storm had a perfect cover for dragons to be flying in!
Aliens trying to land! The storm would hide the sound of that for sure!
The lights flickered on. Eric went back to playing.
In the distance someone bigger than any human could be seen walking away with a broken power pole.

Double Secret
Secrets are all around. Little white lies, small fibs or surprise parties. Secrets can be good or bad. When they are good it ends with a smile. When they are bad it ends with a life being changed. Some secrets are unavoidable while some are choices being made. Some secrets though are so big and bad that drastic measures need to be taken once they come to light.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
