The Drac

Ce trou semblait constituer une " chambre " dans le métro. Quelques pierres et bouts de planches traînaient sur le sol. Slake s'assit, dos contre le mur du fond ? En fait, comme il apparut par après, Slake venait d'emménager chez lui. Slake est un orphelin solitaire. Les rares contacts qu'il connaît sont les brimades, les coups : de la part de ses camarades, de ses professeurs, de la vague tante censée l'élever. Alors, Slake a pris l'habitude de se réfugier dans le métro. Un jour, plus sombre qu'un autre, il, décide de ne pas remonter. Cent vingt et un jours seul dans le métro new-yorkais.
