injured and a jogger who seems to have had nothing to do with anything injured.

Now my phone is ringing, and when I pick it up I hear Kathleen's voice. Looks like she's back into
my life. She talks about how they are going to do a massive prayer at church tomorrow for her son,
and if I would like to come. I guess it's nice to know that the fact that he is her son comes before the
fact that he is a homosexual. The next morning I find myself wearing clothes I haven't worn for so
long around the type of people I haven't talked to in so long in a place I haven't been to in so long.

Chapter 40:
THE LOST CARPENTER

Last night, I had a strange dream. I'm standing in front of the apartment building with a blueprint in
my hand. The thing is the apartment building doesn't look like the apartment building that I know.
It looks unfinished; it looks like there is still work needed to be done on it.

Before I know it I have a hammer in one hand and a nail in the other, and I'm forcing a nail into the
wall. After I see that the building is good and finished, I rest for a little while. Then I go back into
the building and walk through each of the three floors to make sure the names on the doors match
the names on the blueprint.

They are all correct, however there are a few that are replaced with question marks. You can't
know everyone in your life. While I'm on the second floor, I get to Lynne's apartment but I realize
that the name Lynnette Parker is not on the blueprint. The name that is on the blueprint in the place
of Lynne is George Johnson, which was the person who lived here before she moved in. Because
dreams don't have timestamps I often have to figure out when a dream had taken place by
considering the people I knew, the places I'd been and the things I'd done.

I go into Johnson's apartment, and I feel that the apartment is not completely done well enough. I
fix a few things in an effort to stop Lynne from losing her foot, and then I go on to the next
apartment who has the tenant name of Joseph White. The last apartment I check is under the name
Boris, with a last name that I can't read properly, and then I go back outside for another break after
debating whether or not I should check the basement of the building.

When I get outside I see Jesus and Moses sitting on a bench. I sit next to them, and Jesus says to
me, "So you're going to build an entire city?" I don't answer him. He tells me that carpentry and
engineering is hard work, then Moses cuts in and says "but it will not save you." Moses then gets
up and he hands me two nails. They are much bigger than the ones I used on the building. Moses
tells me that separate paths are what will save me.

Chapter 41:
CALM THE DEVIL'S GRIN

She tells you that second-person narration is when you use words like "you" and "your." At first
you want to disagree with her, you want to see her reaction, but you know that she was the one who
took all those courses on writing in college. So then the nameless narrator asks Julia what exactly
