Lilian woke up startled. Her pulse was racing as torrents of sweat poured out of her body. She mopped her sweaty face with her cover cloth and stood up. She put on the light and began to pace up and down the room. Then she heard it again; the still small voice. Pray for Kimberly!
What could've gone wrong with Kimberly, she wondered. She dropped on her knees and began to pray. "Lord, I don't know why I'm feeling this way. I don't know what's going on with Kimberly but God be with Kimberly. Protect her and keep her from all forms of evil in Jesus' name. Amen"

She stood up and sat on her bed. Her eyes darted to the giant clock, ticking away. 2:15am
Her thoughts drifted to Kimberly. What could've possibly gone wrong with her? Did she get herself involved in a mess?
She picked up her phone and made to call her. Knowing Kimberly might be in a party or club and won't even hear her phone ringing, she changed her mind.
She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around her. Images of Kimberly being involved in an accident flashed through her mind.  No! Kimberly cannot die.
She thought about how she had preached to Kim, hoping that one day, she too will make the decision to be a christian. Kim had always rebuffed her and called the gospel, fable. Kim won't want to hear any of it. She often referred to the christian life as a lifeless way of life. Little wonder how they both still remain friends.
She remembered a certain day at school when she summoned the courage to talk to Kim again. Kim had gotten angry and it took lots of begging before Kim started talking to her again.

Lilian felt her phone vibrating. She picked it up to see who would be calling her by this time of the night. Her faced turned pale when the caller turned out to be Kimberly.
