This novella based on Pythagorean ideas is an attempt to enable an individual to string a bridge from the intimate microcosm of their individuality to the macrocosm of the universe as we know it today. The string from which we all hang in today’s world is conscience, which is composed of a set of psychological internal beliefs to which an individual ascribes, as that which governs their behavior. But when one’s action is in opposition to that which one professes to believe, the internal belief system becomes a tattered string swinging precariously to immorality. In the heat of battle we adopt and internalize the external national constitution that most Americans profess to fight for, uphold, and die for. But few really believe or understand it. This is a narrative, beginning with a blind WWII Veteran in Arlington National Cemetery, for our war dead. He is seeking to verify that the inscriptions inscribed on certain headstones of his former comrades are what they desired. Each inscription is purported to be a reminder to the living to keep the faith with themselves and their country. The necessity to continue the march forward from a practical democracy to accomplish a true democracy is reinforced by a group of terrorists who capture and threaten to blow up the Statue of Liberty unless America ceases supporting corrupt governments throughout the world.
