Mr. Adamson
The narrator is sitting on Friday 22 May 2032, a day after his 94th Birthday in a flower garden in high standing. He speaks his already long past experiences with Mr. Adamson for posterity on tape. Fridays have a special meaning for the narrator. Is now the right Friday to die?
decades earlier, exactly on his 8th Birthday the narrator that Mr. Adamson in the vast, heavenly garden of a house next door met. This was already standing empty for longer time and the garden had been transformed into a thriving, unspoilt countryside. The flowers sat down together without regard to seasons of roses, poppies, oleanders, fuchsias, azaleas, thyme and many other flowers. deepened as the Navajo Indians in the trail, the boy is startled deeply, as totally unexpected Mr. Adamson in front of him is - around ninety years old, small, thin, with white head and with the exception of three slightly curved in the amount outstanding hair completely bald.
Mr. Adamson is dead just because the boy just in those seconds Born, in which the old man is dead, he can see him at all. The two play together hiding. The harmless game develops in a sequence to encounter a nightmare when the boy wants to find out where Mr. Adamson each disappears and he throws himself into the body shell. Can protect the magical spring in your hair and a bone to the first-person narrator? At least two constraints remain stand back from the encounter with leave of his senses: the language of the Navajos and an urge to put every spade in the ground and dig.
A pretty weird journey through a fantasy world, recommended for all who are not of "Vortoten" hold and "undead" from reading can be.
