An ancient woman chose a spot and lay down. She went without food or water and was exposed to the elements for days. The traveler and the motorrad found her in this state.

The traveler stopped and, respectfully, said, “Hello.”

The woman turned to the traveler and, in a dry, cracked voice, answered, “Hello, child.”

“May I ask what you are doing?”

“I am waiting for my time to die.”

“...I see.”

“Are you a traveler?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Where will you go when it is your time to die?”

The traveler thought before answering, “Somewhere under the blue sky.”
