Enigma
#WritcoStoryPrompt46
Write a story based on this famous excerpt from Angels & Demons by Dan Brown:

Science tells me God must exist. My mind tells me I will never understand God. And my heart tells me I am not meant to. As I peer into the microscope before me, I am baffled by the sights I see, a world, as elaborate and intricate as the one we live in, existing in a small drop of water placed on a slide. I am enthralled by the beauty in the microcosmos. I can't imagine any of man's creations that can hold a candle to the majestic sight I witness through the lens. But then, as I take a look outside to see the street where a homeless man was stabbed yesterday, I wonder... How can a mystical power that painted absolute masterpieces even in tiny droplets, also create something so flawed and imperfect as humanity?...
