June 20XX. Somewhere in Asia. He arrives at Sand City at the stroke of midnight. The caravan where he belongs turns down its light; the gypsy women with multicolored dresses and gilded bangles lay out a feast of dried meat on stoves made of twigs and twine they picked up along the road. He looks at the starry night above, mumbling a prayer, an offering of gratitude for his ancestors, to whom he had entrusted his life on this journey thus far, and lurches toward the city’s gate. The pilgrim doesn’t remember his birthplace. From the moment he learns to speak his name, he must also know by heart that he is an outsider. From dust to dust, ashes to ashes, as the leader of his tribe had said; a man without a past would not have a bright future, except the one where his death awaits him like the last and only companion in his journey into the land of solitude. The pilgrim carves the preaching of the village head on each memory muscle in his brain, but he refuses to believe that he was born to acquiesce and settle for a fate of eternal damnation and loneliness. Thus begins his life as a vagabond in the desert.
