Michael was out on one of his walks in a feeble attempt to clear his busy mind. Suddenly, a bright flash of light entered his vision and he threw up his hands to shield his eyes. A man had suddenly appeared before his eyes, and Michael could only describe it as falling from the sky or materializing out of thin air. “Hey, man.
