“I’m the City. I’ve been around for a long time. I was here when your parents, even when your grandparents were children. It’s so lonely to be a city. I can hear and see everything, but no one notices me. I’m too big, too noisy… and I’m full of stories. Even you are part of my story. But now I will tell you one story, which may have happened yesterday, a long time ago or even tomorrow. Nothing is certain, except for the story, of course!”
