Once upon a Planet lived a sad and lonely man who didn’t understand what was happening, nor why he felt much sadder than mere words could ever say.
And all across that Planet all the sad and lonely people who didn’t understand what was happening got up in the morning and went down in the evening with heavy hearts and minds and thoughts of pure dismay.
