who is portrayed as a sinful man, murders his brother after God rejects his offerings but accepts
Abel's offerings. What was probably the cause and effect of a jealousy or anger gene cost a man his
life, and I could only hope that one of Jamal's negative genes didn't turn on and in turn will cost
him his own life.

I can only hope that his anger gene is still switched off, but who am I kidding. In order for certain
species to survive in a certain environment, sometimes a certain switch has to always be on.

There is a knock at my door, but it's not the pizza-man, it's Joe's mom, Kathleen. I want to tell her
that it's not such a good idea for her to drop by unexpectedly, but how can I, the more I see her the
more senile she appears. Derek retreats back to his room, so I am left alone with her, and this time
the theme isn't forgiveness, it's salvation.

I'm not a people person, I am exactly the wrong person to talk to about these things, yet she
confides in me. Thank you Joe for sucking me into a world that I do not belong in. Her problem
now is how can Joe get into the kingdom of Heaven if he doesn't change his sinful ways. How can
he be saved if he dwells with a lifestyle which is not right.

Eventually the pizza gets here and I offer her some, but she doesn't understand how someone can
eat pizza so early in the day, so Derek finally comes out and he and I end up eating all of it. Derek
and Kathleen, Joe's mom, greet each other but I can tell they both feel weird about it. I guess it's
because they are the exact opposites of each other. Young, old, black, white.

They both come from two very different lifestyles, but I bet if you put them both in a room together
long enough, they will both tell each other their life stories, and what was so black before starts to
get a little color.

There is a story of a woman who forgot the English language after being hit by a car, and the only
words she knew were the words she heard. She wouldn't remember the word "hypnosis" until you
said it to her, and only then would it be part of her vocabulary again. The philosophical concept of
the story is that we only know and understand what we have experienced.

Chapter 29:
RAINING IN NEW YORK

She looks at him and he can see the sparkle in her beautiful blue eyes. "I will never forget this
night," she says to him. "I am so glad we found each other," he replies. They continue to dance
slowly to the mellow music being played in the background, as do all the others who were invited
to this victorious celebration party.

There is a smell of expensive perfume in the air, and any other type of smell would simply be
unacceptable. In the middle of the large extravagant room there is an elegant piece of marble, a
statue carved to depict a man holding the hand of a child. The people dance around the piece of
marble, and those who aren't dancing mingle with the others who aren't dancing.

One says to another, "we are doing God's work." In the corner of the room there are bottles of wine
and other types of fine drinks, but these drinks are overshadowed by the seemingly endless amount
