Synopsis

The whole of human history has been a fight against Darkness. But it has now become its only ally... Somewhere, sometime,  today or tomorrow. A unkempt man with an animal expression on his devasted face crawls cautiously through sewers and demolished buildings. He doesn´t speak, he hides in the shadem he tries to survive. They are on his heels and he knows it. But still (or maybe because of it) he tries to make contact with them because alone he doesn´t stand a chance in this destroyed and wounded world. Maybe one day he´ll meet another survivor and together they´ll succeed in coming to an understanding with them. Or maybe he´ll capture and tame one of them. Or maybe they´ll understand the message of his paper puzzles. Or maybe... For now, however, there is nothing else to do than remain constantly alert and run whenever he hears an ominous scurrying.
