Life has a way of going in circles. Ideally, it would be a straight path forward___e'd always know where we were going, we'd always be able to move on and leave everything else behind. There would be nothing but the present and the future. Instead, we always find ourselves where we started. When we try to move ahead, we end up taking a step back. We carry everything with us, the weight exhausting us until we want to collapse and give up. We forget things we try to remember. We remember things we'd rather forget. The most frightening thing about memory is that it leaves no choice. It has mastered an incomprehensible art of forgetting. It erases, it smudges, it fills in blank spaces with details that don't exist. But however we remember it___r choose to remember it___he past is the foundation that holds our lives in place. Without its support, we'd have nothing for guidance. We spend so much time focused on what lies ahead, when what has fallen behind is just as important. What defines us isn't where we're going, but where we've been. Although there are places and people we will never see again, and although we move on and let them go, they remain a part of who we are. There are things that will never change, things we will carry along with us always. But as we venture into the murky future, we must find our strength by learning to leave things behind.

Nobody seems to know which came first; egg or chicken _ except of course for agents of the Time Saving Agency _ who can find out anything about, well _ anything. The only trouble is, they aren__ talking _ however, you can take it from me _ they know. The answer to these and other puzzles are kept safe and secure behind fire-walls and thick security doors secured with, er _ time-locks, where one could possibly find answers to many other troubling questions, and not all of them necessarily relating to chickens.
