Getting home some nights can be challenging. Waking from an amnesiac stupor in an alleyway, you stumble forth like an inebriated puppet. You search desperately for clues of your cardinal bearings in the constellations, but your vision fails you. Finally, you track down your very own Mother Teresa, who kindly sends you down the right path.
