The coffee in my mug was too hot to drink so I let it cool while I watched you from across the room. You were too engrossed in your newspaper to notice. When my coffee had finally cooled enough to drink, you had gone and so had the novelty.
It's impossible to know what's at the top of those cliffs. The fog obscures the destination and leaves you filled with suspense. The only way for you to find out what's there is to keep climbing. Otherwise, your story will end with a cliff-hanger.
