under a cloudy, vibrant sky, you stand in the middle of a vast field. the person accompanying you stares quietly, as if waiting for you to choose where to go. what calls you?

• the smell of salt and the rhythm of waves crashing on a distant shore.
• the resonant rings of a church bell.
• a bustling town one or two miles away.
• nothing farther out seems to interest you. venture deeper into the field.
