This is the story of two ten-year old boys. Stephen is new on the block and is trying to make friends with his neighbour Matthew, an imaginative but somewhat wild child who has a strange knack for killing sparrows. A victim of "the sickness of our time", Matthew leads a solitary existence as a social outcast. When Stephen starts school in the fall, will he too shun his friend?

« MATTHEW : […] The other day, I counted to one hundred. I became very, very old. When I opened my eyes, all the trees on the street had grown really tall. Everyone had changed.
