We begin at the Selleck Quadrangle on UNL campus. You are tasked to help a forgetful ghost remember her past by creating art of the places she once visited. In exchange, you are given her story, as well as a new understanding of the world around you. You need something to draw or write with for this walk. It is recommended that you keep one ear free when walking between locations, so the ambient noises around you can add to the experience.

[DO NOT USE NOISE CANCELLATION HEADPHONES] You are nothing more than a bystander to other's stories. Each person lives differently than you, our paths aren't the same. There is so much history that follows a person - even the mind can't fully comprehend the infinite possibilities of another's life. You are nothing more than a listener and a observer to life.

As you walk past a local bar you initiate a transmission from the future that holds pertinent information about the future of the city... and the world. Will you listen? Or will you idly ignore like so many have done before?
