The Promise Lise Villadsen In April 2008About The Promise by Damon Galgut SHES SITTING IN THE SPOT SHE LIKES, between the rocks, at the bottom of the burnt tree. Where I was when the lightning struck, where I nearly died. Pow, white fire dropping out of the sky. As if God pointed at you, Pa says, but how would he know, he wasnt here when it happened. The wrath of the Lord is like an avenging flame. But I didnt burn, not like the tree. Except for my feet. In hospital two months, recovering.
