OPINION

G. BARRY ANDERSON, Judge.

Appellant challenges his conviction for unlawful possession of a firearm, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction because he was not conscious when police discovered the firearm near him. Appellant also argues that the prosecutor’s closing remarks concerning a fable and appellant’s activity the night before his arrest constitute prejudicial misconduct. Because we conclude that the evidence sufficiently supports the conviction and the prosecutor’s arguments did not amount to misconduct, we affirm.
