Editor's Note:
Povestea – tragică și fascinantă – a lui Jack, băiatul aflat la vârsta ingrată a pubertății. La început, el pare un puber obișnuit: este obsedat de sora sa mai mare, frumoasa Julie, își înfruntă tacit tatăl și – cum altfel? – se masturbează. Calmul nu durează însă prea mult. După ce tatăl său moare, răpus de un al doilea infarct, Jack își vede serios amenințată siguranța pe care i-o dă sentimentul familiei (mai are, în afară de Julie, încă o soră și un frate) în momentul în care și mama sa cade la pat, măcinată de cancer. Decide să ascundă trupul mort al mamei în pivniță, îngropându-l în ciment.
