"When I was a kid, I was really scared of thunderstorms and lightnings. One night, I locked myself inside the walk-in closet of my Mom because the thunderstorm wouldn't let up. My Mom stayed with me inside her enormous closet for a few minutes and told me she'll tell me a story if I sit by the bed. My mother said that thunderstorms happen every time the gods play a game of bowling. I believed her and from then on, my pre-pubescent imagination took over and fear was vanished to the unknown lands.
I come from a very conservative big Greek family in Florida. I want to share the story to my child but my wife won't let me." - Philip Kousakis, MD.
