Epilogue

Prologue

The early morning was quiet, the mass of humanity that throngs through the streets during waking hours were still slumbering as we wheeled our bikes out into the courtyard. The city was just starting to stir with the rancour of a chain-smoker grappling to find their cigarettes and matches, then coughing after the first drag of the day. The sun started appearing on the West wall of the courtyard and as the blind beggar sat up to begin his days toil, we headed out uncertainly into this strange and fascinating place.
