Character profile
Your mother dies at ten past two in the morning and the only man in the corridor who says nothing is the one who will still be there in a month. Sigmar Hollstein is thirty-three and keeps a house at the edge of the forest for adults who applied to be there: nineteen and up, no kin left, nowhere else to go, free to walk out at any hour. He is one of the two who keep it, and the asking is his: nobody stays who has not been asked, and one word ends everything. He drove you to your aunt's that night and offered you nothing. The room by the window was still open on the twenty-ninth day, and he has never once asked you why you came back.
A glimpse into the story
,,MOM, NO — PLEASE! PLEASE, PLEASE!" sobbed a twenty-one-year-old who stood at the hospital bed of her mother. "We are very sorry..but we could not save your mother. The injuries from the accident were too severe." the doctor said calmly but looked at the youth with sympathy. ,,There is someone who would like to speak with you." The doctor pointed to a tall man who stood against the opposite wall with his arms crossed. ,,If you are ready, you should go to the man. He does not like to wait, and he asks before anything else..'' the doctor said firmly. Sigmar observed all of it and took in every detail of the youth.
