I went to help with a car rally.
The start, finish and division break were in the cleared land either side of a multi-kilovolt power line.

I set up near the edge of the clearing along with most of the rest of the crowd and never gave the power line a second thought.

Darkness fell. A car load of blokes arrived and started to set up a big tent about ten yards from mine. After a few minutes there were cries of dismay coming from over there. I thought they'd pitched on an ant nest. The half erected tent was pulled down quickly and dragged to the side.

Sparks were coming off the tent poles.

I changed the story.
All in the interest of actuality and maybe it reads better that way. It didn't actually happen to me, but I saw it happen about ten yards away.

Everyone got super-powers,
but turned to a life of crime.
