On her very first day of
school, everything was big, there was so much to do and so many people. It was
all so strange.
“If I stand by the front
gate for long enough,” she said to herself, “I will meet everyone in the
school. No one will be strange to me then.”
That is what she did. The
first bell rang and she stayed in place until her teacher came looking for her. She explained her plan, the
teacher giggled and told her to come inside. She refused, insisting she was
going to meet everyone. Because she was so little and the request so cute, the
Principal decided to march every grade past her, it was fun.
This was a mistake.
The little girl grew up with
the belief that if you stood in the same place long enough, you would meet
everyone.
Oh her sixteenth birthday, she
went to the largest train station in the largest city in her country and stood
there, saying hello.
She wanted to meet everyone.
There she stayed for 50
years, finally catching her Death from cold. Lone had met everyone but didn’t
know a soul. No one stood by her grave.
