Here’s another idea ... we need a rag-tag crew of reluctant misfits ... we shall meet up and enjoy each other’s company for a few, too-short days in the face of an ominous future, realizing we will never experience such innocent merriment again ... we will part, each assigned a perilous task which there’s little hope of ever completing ... we will face trials, tribulations, deadly challenges; and things will seem bleak, very bleak ... but, against all odds, we will succeed! ... triumphantly, we shall reunite ... waves of relief, friendship, and camaraderie will sweep over us ... we will be very happy ... yet, somehow, also, things will be bittersweet ... we will have a bond that can never be broken, but we will all go back to our homelands ... maybe, someday far in the future, we will meet again, and we’ll remember ...
