I have been here many days. I am in need of help.

Really? Another one of you people? What's your story? Hemingway, captured before his suicide and thrust into the Nevada desert?

Alas, my friend, I am unable to reveal my identity at this time. The risks are too high. You, too, may be in danger.

Nevada is quite far from here. Think Mesopotamia.

In lieu of my location, which must also remain somewhat secret (for now), I have encountered a beast of ferocious violence. I was hoping you could give me some information on the Kenyan lion. My time in Africa has been limited to weekend trips every couple of months (at least in the last decade or so), and these animals vaguely resemble each other.

Thank you. I believe with your help I will escape the bondage I have endured for some time now. I no longer keep record of hours, days, weeks spent here. I know that I must return home. I have business to conduct.

Thank you again.
