Well, maybe you weren't Omlagus Garfungiloops before, but maybe you are now. Maybe our identities are like coats, free to be put on and taken off as we will. Maybe, along with this stranger you just met, you can create this new Omlagus-y self for you. Maybe Omlagus hates seagulls but loves pelicans. Hates tomatoes. Has a superstition about salt. Only wears white shoes. And maybe Omlagus Garfungiloops lives here, in this shack, and not in any tent. Maybe with infinite change comes infinite freedom, and every day is a blank slate. You're not going to be Omlagus Garfungiloops forever, but for now, well... for now you are.
