“Odysseus, on his journey home to Ithaca, is visited by a ghost. The ghost tells him that once he reaches his home — once he slays his enemies and sets his house in order — he must do one more thing before he can rest. The ghost says he must take up an oar and walk inland, and keep walking until someone mistakes that oar for a shovel. For that would be a place where no man has ever been troubled by the sea, and that’s where he’d find peace.“

It takes Odysseus ten years to return home to his wife. It takes Flint ten years to return to Thomas.
