    Summary

    On the edge of an unknown danger, a boy finds an ancient artifact, a mummified finger, right in a place that he thought he was so familiar with, and swallows it down, for a stranger’s soul to settle in his heart, right next to his own.
    Yes, this story has already been told.

    He finds himself reduced to nothing more than some entity, trapped in the back of his own head, his own ribs turned into a birdcage that he could barely look through the bars of, wasn’t he so tired.

    Only vaguely, from a sound, is he aware of his own lips giving out a fascinated whistle – the boy has never learned how to whistle – and saying some words he can’t quite make out, not because of some quality in a voice that has never belonged to him but because his conscience is already drifting away from him. Sleep swallows him, as he lays locked up by a stranger in the attic of his own house.
