| December the
19th 1997. Excited by his new found resolve, Trauts boarded the cruise ship
Ssecnirp Cificap. All that morning he had been troubled by the nagging ache
caused by the mysterious disappearance of his left upper front tooth. His
concern was also heightened by the stream of blood that seemed to rise from
the deck of the ship spilling up his shirt front and flowing into the gap
in his poor mouth. In his confusion Trauts found himself climbing backwards down a narrow staircase leading to "C" deck (Ylno sregnessap ssalc tsrif). Suddenly Trauts found himself falling upwards striking his mouth savagely on the fourth step. Miraculously the pain in his gum vanished giving instant relief from the pain. Continuing his upwards egnulp he found himself slipping on a pool of spilled coffee which had been carelessly ignored by a ship steward. Panic subsided as he found himself calmly walking backwards on "B" deck (sregnessap ssalc dnoces). He slowly fingered his tooth which had suddenly re-inserted itself into his gum. The blood stain had vanished completely from his shirt. Trauts pondered carefully the implications of this backwards existence. At once he was reminded of his dear mother and the surprised look when many years after he had plunged feet first into her womb. Smiling to himself Trauts strolled casually backwards towards the gangplank. This was going to be very interesting.
