On our way back to her house, I didn’t look at the city lights any longer. I looked into the sky and felt as if the moon was following us.

She said, “In the sky there are always answers and explanations for everything: every pain, every suffering, joy, and confusion.” That night I wanted the sky to talk to me. . Ishmael Beah
