Start: I couldn’t take my eyes off him. He was like something out of The Arabian Nights. I kept expecting to see peacocks and jeweled elephants stamping in the distance.

[... ... ...]

I was so full of him, I thought my heart would burst. Zanzibar! Come on, jump with me… It was there that he taught me how to live on orchids and read the stars… Zanzibar, say it!
