All
he really wanted was the best ceviche in the world but instead he somehow ended
up with piles and piles of the unwanted detritus from circumstantial
consequences. Eventually it got to the point where he felt so cluttered with stuff
he never even asked for or wanted that he began indiscriminately hauling thing
after thing to the curb where it piled high and was obviously visible to any
passersby. When he finally finished carrying the stuff out he noticed a sense
of vacancy that he looked forward to enjoying. He looked at the pile of stuff
and it seemed like more stuff than he had ever remembered taking possession of,
as if it had expanded and multiplied once out in the open. He had hoped that
people would want his unwanted things and would take them from the pile to keep
as their own. He left the pile alone for a while and eventually wandered back
to see if anything had been taken and to his satisfaction he noticed the pile
had somewhat diminished and he felt a further satisfaction that maybe other
people could use the things he wanted to get rid of. Eventually everything was
gone except for some scattered papers that he thought he should pick up and put
in the garbage. He picked up a few of the papers and noticed an unfamiliar bowl
of average size that appeared to having something in it. He picked it up and
examined it looking at it, smelling it and eventually tasting whatever it was
in the bowl and it was exactly what it he thought it might be. It was ceviche
and from what he could tell, and to his surprise, it was the best ceviche in
the world.
