I was a college English professor for several years, until I lost my job. I thought that I would never be able to help out anyone with reading again. That was until a man named Guy Montag called me asking me how many copies of the Bible were left. Then he met up with me at my house. Someone was banging on the door. ¨Who is it?¨ I yelled. ¨Its Montag.¨ As he slowly eased open the door. I could see his face was covered scratches. I asked him what happened.
