When the muse calls a man must listen, but what will she demand?
The old man lives a simple life among the scrap of the world, his only friends the cats that prowl the junkyard and the boy who comes to talk. The man knows loss and his art will be a testament to loss, to her. Scrap metal becomes beauty as his visions take shape. But whose beauty?
The old man will learn that sometimes inspiration isn't enough in a modern world, and that insulating yourself against the world isn't the same as escaping it. That violence can strike anywhere, despite the best of intentions.
Genre: Literary Fiction
