There are more stories in the world than there are grains of sand on the beaches. The sand at least is visible to our eyes, it sticks to our feet. But the stories lie like shells under water, buried in different people’s minds. One can never predict which story will surface at which moment, and who will be telling it to whom. It is an unfathomable secret.
