Lightning

 You are lightning. What will you strike first, and why?

 

1. EXT. MOUNT OLYMPUS TEMPLE - DAY

Zeus is sitting on a bench with his head in his hands, staring across the lands. His face and upper body are comically covered in soot and lightly smoking. Athena arrives and notices the state of Zeus.

ATHENA

Oh, father! What happened?

ZEUS

It finally happened, Athena. It finally happened! One of my lightning bolts turned against me.

ATHENA

I did not realize they could do that.

ZEUS

Nor did I! I was visiting the mortal realm when one decided to flash my face and jump away into one of the human's computation devices. I suppose it wanted to join its brother, fire, in being helpful to those mortals in some way. 

SHOW, DON'T TELL!
