Struck

In fourth grade, Mrs. Wimbly told me that a person who is struck by lightning is more likely to be struck again. Unfortunately, when Quinton was struck, he didn’t have a chance to be hit a second time. This is mostly due to the fact that he died. I figure he would have taken extra precautions not to get hit again though, even if he had been given the chance.
What is just slightly less unfortunate than Quinton’s death is the fact that I, Owen Hayl, am now all alone. One day I had a twin brother, my best friend, the one who knew every little secret about me because he practically was me, and the next day he was gone and I wasn’t.
