Faceless people have their own stories to tell. This is the guy sitting next to you who got off the stop before you;that lady in red just gave you a queer look;the schoolgirl who almost fell off her seat in the bus while snoozing; the bus driver uncle;your korean lecturer with a terrible terrible accent... Do you want to hear their take on Life?

Maybe somewhere, there are a group of beings who can tap on these tales. And write about them. "Earthy encounters" with a really brown earthworm poking out of the soil. Burrowing holes to get out of the one we just burrowed. What a brilliant illustration. That is exactly how life is. In the pits. 

With synonyms like that, how can we expect much?
