Description
Black Lightning by Roger Mais tells the story of Jack, a sculptor and blacksmith who idolises Samson as a figure of man's independence. His tribute to Samson takes an unexpected turn when his wife leaves him for another man.
The end result is a sculpture that reflects the turmoil in Jack's life: a blinded Samson leaning on a young boy for support. When Jack himself is struck by lightning and left blind, he must rely on his friends to survive. This journey forces him to confront just how reliant on humanity he really is.
Ultimately, Jack's blindness drives him to take control of his own life, leading to a final act of independence that will leave you questioning the true meaning of freedom.
