The God Maker - How God Became God
A story about a "John Doe" without an identity, who awakens in a hospital bed not knowing who he is, the hospital psychiatrist who assists John in his reflections about identity, a little girl with exceptional abilities, a mathematical prodigy who could destroy the world by succeeding in his life's endeavor, and of course, SHET the God Maker, who changes forms as he wishes, who can be seen sometimes but more often can only be heard. SHET urges John Doe to become God or else the world will cease, or more accurately, the world will not have ever existed - but... John Doe can only become God through a magnificent failure.
