Surviving a Lightning Near-Strike
Lightning struck nearby and you were close enough to feel the charge. A lightning near strike is the luck event with the highest aura payout because it is the closest a living person gets to a force that regularly kills. Ninety five thousand points because the strike is not just luck it is a confrontation with a threshold that most people never cross, and the crossing leaves a mark on the nervous system that takes weeks to process. The aura is in the survival, but the deeper luck signal is in the randomness. You were in a location. The lightning chose a path. The path was close to you but not through you, which is a margin measured in feet, and the margin is the difference between a story you tell for the rest of your life and a story no one tells because you are not around to tell it. The aura lesson is that near strikes rewire your relationship with chance, permanently. After the strike, every small luck event reads as a bonus rather than… Surviving a Lightning Near-Strike is a luck event in the god tier, worth +95,000 aura points.
