**The sky gets darker and darker, and the thunderstorms is gathering near Brokeback. In the upper portion of the thunderstorm, a piece of tiny frozen raindrops starts its journey to become a piece of hailstone. **
((As the frozen raindrop comes to impact with small, tiny supercooled droplets, it increases its size.))
Look, I am getting fatter and fatter. Woohoo, this is a nice ride.
((All of sudden, a strong updraft disrupts the fall and carries the frozen raindrop back up to the top of the thunderstorm.))
Wait, wait… What’s happening? Am I supposed to go the other way instead of moving up?
**Little does the frozen raindrop know, it can only fulfill its destiny to become a true hailstone after it has stayed long enough in the colder air in order to get bigger in size.**
%%I know that some point, I will have to start my determined and irreversible fall to the earth. What’s waiting for me down there? I can not help but wonder.%%
