:56:08
He bends down
:56:10
to take a closer look,
:56:12
and suddenly he feels that
he's looking into a mirror,
:56:18
that he's looking at himself.
:56:20
There he is - dead - and
the body is perfectly intact,
:56:24
frozen in a block of ice
- like someone preserved in suspended animation.
:56:31
He gets down on all fours, looks
right into the dead man's face,
:56:41
and realizes that he's
looking at his father.
:56:48
And the strange thing is that the
father is younger than the son is now.
:56:58
The boy has become a man, and it turns
out that he's older than his own father.
:57:20
So what are you going to do today?
:57:26
Read, think, do some
drawings if I get in the mood.
:57:32
But tonight I'm going to
celebrate. That's definite.
:57:35
Celebrate? What for?
:57:37
It's my birthday. I'm seventeen years
old as of forty-seven minutes ago,
:57:43
and I think I should celebrate
having made it this far.
:57:46
Hey, hey. Happy birthday.
