  The train swished to the right and the left and a purple flash ran against my window making me yelp in fear. My friend Ignor smirked at this while tears burned down my cheeks.

  "Remy, it's okay."

  "You have never been struck by lightning."

  "You haven't either."

  I frown because he couldn't understand.

  "Have you ever wondered why the world has lightning?"

  I shook my head fallen into his shoulders sniffling.

  "When it is dark and stormy night, people's sorrow's awaken. When God sees our sorrows, he sends a bolt of light that can see admits the darkness. The roaring vibration following the flash of light is the cheers from the heavens."

   "Ignor."

  "My mother told me this when I was a child," he says hugging me. "Just remember that in your darkest times in your life. God is with you and he has a place prepared for you."
