The story: A young girl lives among a deserted city which seems to be all about fish and where there is no sunshine...only darkness.
She spends her time collecting and drinking water while wandering about holding close to her, a large egg...
Until one day, a mysterious young man appears.
The girl ask him who he is but he will not answer.
When he finally speaks to her, it is because of the egg she is caring for, which he advises her to break and find out its contents.
But instead, she walks away from him still asking who he is.
The young man does not answer but follows the girl in silence.
When they arrive at an ark, the young man sees a carving on the wall of a tree which he believes he has seen somewhere before, but cannot remember.
He cannot remember if it was a dream or real.
He tells the girl a story of the world being flooded from the rains and it washing away all the life on earth.
That the only people who survived lived on an arc and set a bird free to save them, but it never returned.
The girl tells him that what he remembered rings true to her , as neither of them can remember how they got there or why.
She believes that her egg will someday hatch so that she can set it free.
She believes that her egg will someday hatch so that she can set it free.
