The Story of Walrus Eggman 4

If you somehow come across a Sphinx, and it asks you a question as a chance to spare your life, and the question is: "When crossing a bridge, which step is the most important? The first, the current or the last?", answer "the current step". I don't know why, it just seems right.

Now that we've explained the steps that many would consider to be the first and the last, we can focus on the current step, months before Walrus Eggman demise.

Our hero was having breakfast and reading about some flood in Indonesia. He wasn't paying much attention to the reading itself, wondering about the fact the never in human history we were so conscious of the entire world. He considered we could be wrong, that we were as clueless as ever; in ancient times, the world was smaller, and people must have had the same impression. Nowadays, we're yet bound to the universe we know, despite our awareness of the existence of other stars and planets, just like Romans were aware of China.

He was interrupted by his children saying goodbye to go to school. He had lost the thread, thou, and never has he continued his reasoning. Eventually he would have discovered the very meaning of life, but now it was forever lost to him. He finished breakfast, brushed his teeth and went to work.
