First Dose of Writing

My first update and I'm going to put up the begining to a story I started working on awhile back. Hope atleast one person out there enjoys.

A man kneels atop the Waldorf-Astoria’s roof in Chicago, IL. His right hand is placed upon the roof while his left clutches at his side. Blood runs between his fingers and falls into a puddle on the rooftop, while the man breathes hard. Quickly the man’s head snaps up looking straight into the sky as he lets out a loud yell, white light begins to burst forth from his eyes and mouth. In a matter of moments the white light extends from the man in a circle around him, growing ever larger and destroying everything it comes into contact with. After only a few seconds it has engulfed the building and begun destroying Chicago, after a few minutes it has extended past the city limits. Less then an hour passes before it is visible from space, and yet it continues to grow, not stopping until it has engulfed everything past Louisiana into the Gulf of Mexico to the south, reaching past New York into the ocean on the east, stretching to Utah on the west and well into the northern reaches of Canada. The large sphere of white light then collapses in upon itself, leaving nothing where it had touched except for smoke, as the remaining ocean begins to pour into this large crater there is a flash of light. The man from atop the roof is kneeling in a room upon a shag carpet, the room is adorned with posters of peace signs and pictures of people in tie-dyed clothing with long hair. A lady has her hand holding gently onto his forehead and as she releases it she looks at him and utters but a single word “Bummer.”
