'What is there to do but wonder', a stranger’s face seems to propose. He was standing not far, but far enough for the other to stare back. As he, the other, stared at the stranger's face, dark-skinned, he could not see the stranger's lips move. 'Why you do not want to accept my gift'? the stranger added. He, the other, continued to stare at the stranger's face and moving hands, gesturing. Almost out of final frustration, the stranger added 'I am about to leave (there will soon be nothing left for me--to die or live for--here). Nothing common. No 'us.' He, the other, melted into the usual crowd, and then they all stared, they stared back, The stranger opened his dark umbrella, right above the cliff. 'And I only wanted to make you all some eggs', he said right before disappearing. 'And I only wanted to make you all some eggs', echoed in everyone's heads.
