Did you say “Magic Feifdom young laird!”?

Always, after a slow pause, I found a way, a valuable nugget, a salty engaging story, from any given stranger.

Takes time, the right setting and that ideal moment, but it always comes…if you let time unwind like a carbon-dating spiral.

Sometimes it seemed like a new universe had been added like salt out of a shaker.

Other times it seemed, well, like sheer unadulterated, dripping silence.

Every century…. a dance.
