To Mark there was no person that would be close to his smarts. it was the thoughts that he had for so long. There were few people that wanted to be around him. Don was one for he knew that there was something better deep inside Mark. What he did not know was there was something that was there but it was not good. That what Mark had not told anyone was that he had a evil side. It was something that he had not told any one about. It was something that Mark would think about when he was alone. It was about what it might feel about killing a person. It was something that had been on his mind; it was that Mark did not know if he wanted to become truly evil. It was something that was on his mind. For he knew that there was not many people that cared what he did otherwise. He knew that it would be something that he could not or would not want to go back to what he was.

Mark took a trip as he was on the highway he saw a man and he gave him a ride. Mark did not say a word for a couple of min. Then the older man looked at Mark. "Do you know Jesus?" It was something that Mark had not thought about in a long time. Steve was the older man's name, he had been a pastor now he traveled the roads getting rides from people. "I tell you this, that I was planning on killing you. Now I see that God put you in my life to change the way I think." The old man was not there any more, it was strange, but there was a bible there. Mark pulled over and read some of the bible; soon he was on his knees and giving his heart to the Lord. Mark knew that this was the best thing that he had ever done in his life.

When he got back he told some people they could see that he had changed. Mark was not like he use to be he was more kind to people; for that many people wanted to be around him. After that day he told any one that that Jesus is the answer.
