Synopsis:
Storm finds well-known writer Phil Halloran about to commit suicide. He has a writing blockade and can’t get over it. Storm takes him flying through the sky, and explains though she can experience and create beauty, the world needs people who can express it in words. They return to the tower, and suddenly Storm is knocked out by an escaped serial killer, who tells Phil to jump off while he drags the unconscious Storm inside. Phil knows that when he saves Ororo she will try to stop him from killing himself, but he goes after them anyway. While he fights with the killer Storm comes around and takes him out with her powers. Yet exhausted and weakened from a severe concussion, she can only beg Phil not to go through with his plan. She tells him that as long as he lives, there is always hope. Phil goes away to call an ambulance and the police, but he still hasn’t made up his mind, about what he will do afterward.

Quotes:
"But for all my powers, Phillip... I cannot convey the wonder and glory of them, the quiet serenity of this moment, to others. Show them first-hand, perhaps, but never tell. That is your gift." —Storm
