There are only two friends that I ever told about the meteorite, so they are the only ones I decided to tell about that night. Mo said, “First Allah sends you a black stone, and now he speaks to you? Do you know how many people Allah has spoken to directly? Three; in all of … Continue reading My best friends

How embarassing?
How embarrassing was that? My dad took me to the doctor a few days later and I checked out fine, except for elevated levels of something called Vanadium. Huh? The levels were not toxic though, so – no worries. I hadn’t told anyone what I experienced until we were on our way home from the … Continue reading How embarassing?
Oh what a night
So I prayed about it all those years. All of them prayed, and even my friend Mohammed (he is Muslim) says he’s been praying for me.

I used to get bullied because of my glasses, but now they know better than to mess with me, because I’ve been taking karate classes … Continue reading On the bus again
What’s that?
I first see it just as the sun disappears completely. High up in the sky, above where the sun had set, is a bright white light surrounded by yellow surrounded by red, and it has a tail. It looks like it's heading right towards me! Wouldn’t that be exciting? Wait, it IS heading right towards me! … Continue reading What’s that?
I love sunsets
I’m seven years old, and my favorite thing to do every evening is to sit out here on our back stoop and watch the sunset. There is no real view where I live in Durham, but at just the right angle, here in my spot, I can just see between the houses to the horizon … Continue reading I love sunsets
Preamble
They say over 84,000 meteorites, a half ounce in size, fall to earth every year. They burn bright, but they’re tiny. Most people have never seen any of them reach the ground, but I did. This is my story...
