Meaning

Primary

Temporarily

Mnemonic

You hop in your car with an axe and drive to the sun, but you'll only be there temporarily. You offed someone with your axe, and you're fleeing to the sun to lie low temporarily while the cops search for you.

Hints

After hiding out temporarily on the sun for a few days, you'll dispose of your axe in the raging inferno there and then drive your car back to Earth like nothing happened. It's the perfect plan.

Mnemonic

Apparently you took a wrong turn, and the place you temporarily hid out was Zanzibar (ざん) — not the sun. Zanzibar is also super hot and sunny, so you can be forgiven for making this mistake.

Hints

You actually really enjoyed temporarily staying in Zanzibar. The beaches were amazing, and the miles of coastline made it really easy to dispose of your axe.
