فصل 63

chapter-63 I’m no God.

During accidents and other catastrophic events, time seems to slow down, sometimes even to freeze, like advancing one frame at a time on a DVD player.

When the lightning struck, everything froze. Time froze. I don’t know how to explain this, but time became light. Light became time. My skin was impossibly bright. I remember thinking that if I weren’t electric, the light would have burned the retinas from my eyes.

Next came the sound, like a hundred thousand freight trains running over me. Only this didn’t go over me, it went into me, through me. It became me. I was lightning. I was pure energy. Maybe for a fraction of one second I felt what it feels like to be God. But I’m no god.
