still can't speak.

               He tells me to take off my bandage and talk or to get the hell out of there. I walk up to him and try
               to take his gun but he shoots me twice in the center of the chest. This man knows that the heart is
               not located on the left side of your chest.

               I fall to the ground backwards, but I don't feel anything. I look down to where there should have
               been two bullet wounds but there are no wounds. The other man, the one who was once casted in
               white light, he stands there and starts to laugh. The man with the gun becomes angry and begins to
               shoot at me again even though I've already fallen to the ground. Even though I'm completely
               helpless.

               Eventually he runs out of ammunition. The man with the gun walks closer to me and stands over
               my body, and he sees that I am still alive. He is in disbelief. The man who is laughing stops
               laughing and also comes closer to me, and then he kneels down to whisper something in my ear.
               He tells me that the Lord has spoken.

               Chapter 24:
               ECHOES FROM THE SUN

               There is a story of a group of people who have spent their entire lives in an underground cave and
               their knowledge is limited only to what they can see and hear, and then one day they are let out of
               the underground cave and for the first time they see the Sun. They see powerful rays of light and
               trees and birds and realize that there was so much more to learn. Maybe you know this story.

               At night, some of us gaze at the dark sky and wonder what is beyond what we can see and what we
               can comprehend as human beings. Things like God and Satan, if there is life elsewhere. Even if we
               are one day able to see and comprehend these things, we will have to accept the fact that there is
               still even more to discover. No matter how much you think you may know, you will never know it
               all.

               However, one might argue that because knowledge presumably has no limits, it therefore cannot
               be compared or measured to or by anything.

               One person might know that an object's mass plays a role in how strong that object's gravitational
               pull will be and another person might not, but because there is so much to know one might also say
               that regardless of how much more knowledgeable the first person is than the second person, both
               individuals are equally unintelligent. Or equally unintelligent. This is why a wise man will tell you
               he's a fool.

               There is a theory that a single cell can represent, or is, a universe, and that a universe can represent,
               or is, a single cell. The basic fundamentals of the idea are influenced by significance and
               perception. The human body is comprised of cells that will help form a body part or an organ, and
               these parts of the body will help form systems such as the reproductive system or the respiratory
               system, and these systems will help maintain a functional organism.

               Likewise, the universe is comprised with many similarities. There are planets. Cells. There is a star
