I have always been intrigued by these clues one comes across which lead one to speculate on (or imagine) the full scenario. It ties in, for me, with my lifetime fascination with the knowledge that other people are just as sentient as I am, but they are not "me", and lead such diverse lives. As a child I used to walk down the street wondering what it would be like to be living a different life behind one of those doors. Interestingly, today I passed a man walking with a toddler, and at every house the child shouted out, "Who lives there? Who lives there? Who lives there?" The father just replied, "Well that is someone's house." How I wished he had said: Henry VIII or a wicked fairy or a family of ferrets....!
