We structure the evidence to answers three basic questions: how was it created; did it leave evidence; how was it destroyed?

What you are about to listen to is part of an unpublished novel, based on the absolute worst time of my life: The Winter of 1988-89.

As God only knows if I will ever finish the whole novel, I wanted to share at least part of it, this part, with the world. What you are about to read is true. I was so bad off I was seeing and talking to "Jesus" at the time.
