"The place that I come from will never be told of in school, nor ever be mentioned on the news. It is not spoken of in fairy tales nor sung of in folk songs. It won't be found in an atlas, or located on a map..."

"Yet," he continued, "If you were to listen to the salty waves on the shore of the ocean, you would hear its name whispered again and again. It calls to you."

I gulped, and began to fiddle nervously with my hot chocolate cup. Did I really want to hear more?
