The Wall and The Wing [antikvár]

THE CHAPTER BEFORE THE FIRSTThe Professor RemembersI II.'In a vast and sparkling city, a city at the center of the universe, one little man remembered something big.He was very old, this little man, his full name forgotten over the years. He called himself The Professor. His specialties were numerous and included psychology, criminology, mathematics, history, aerodynamics, zoology, and gardening. He also collected beer cans.Other than the delivery boy who left his groceries at the back door,. The Professor hadn't seen anyone in at least ten years. It was just as well, since a hair-growing experiment had left him with a head full of long green grass. Also, he didn't like clothing, so he wore ladies' snap-front housedresses and rubber flip-flops with white socks. He spent much of his time fiddling in his workshop, feeding the many kittens that popped out of his pockets and looking things up on eBay.1 ii I 1 rN: i
