CHAPTER 1

Two men were walking along a hallway which had some windows on the left and black doors on the right. One of the men stopped.

Now, Mr. Nor Lung, he said. Here we are. This is the door of your room. Until I give you a sign, you must stay in it.

Room number 39, right?

No, the next door, please. Number 40. By the way, you have got a new name for the duration of your stay in our residence. You’ll find it inside the room, nailed on the door.

Mr. Nor Lung seemed to be a little surprised and hesitant.

A new name? What for? And why nailed on a door? That‘s a bit strange, isn’t it?

Just an order, sir. Good luck and have a pleasant stay.

No, no! Just a moment, please. Don't leave! I'm not sure about being in such a mysterious room and, moreover, getting a new name. My name is Nor Lung. You said it yourself just a few minutes ago.

The other man smiled and answered in a gentle voice,

You wanted to stay here for a few days in order to find your way back to life, sir, didn’t you? Remember, you are searching for some support to stay alive.

The two men stared into each other's eyes. Finally, Mr. Nor Lung turned to the door, sobbing.

Yes, okay, you are right, he replied. Nevertheless, it’s an unusual ambiance, the bright floor with the black doors. The door to my room doesn‘t even have a number. I wonder whether this room could help me. How can I be sure that this is all true?

It‘s just my order to open this room for you, sir. So, please hand over your watch and enter the room.

Stop! Sorry, only one more question. Why is the number 40 not outside my door?

Don't worry. You won’t leave your room anyway. Well, it’s really time for us to go our separate ways now, isn’t it, sir?

The man named Nor Lung entered the room and the door was locked immediately. He stood in grey darkness, with only a candle on the floor for light.

Then he saw his new name pinned to the inside of the door: Male Female. Above it there was the missing number: 40.

Now he was alone in a great silence. Male opened the curtains, looking for a window,
