I found four chambers. And in one of them was a map. And in another a princess, though I believe she was a chambermaid. One can transcend their post. In love the heart may skip a beat. And in another chamber was a pot. But that's too much information. The map detailed how to get to my heart. Which rendered it useless. Because that's where the map was.

Kismet. Magic. "Ah, ha," said the detective. "No, Ah... ha," breathed the yoga instructor. "No, Ah, Ha" said the vaudevillian. "Which is it then?" demanded the research journalist, nonplussed.
