In their attempts to overcome these obstacles, usually bureaucratic in nature, they face traumatic results. The protagonist in the first story (older) mistakingly receives a voodoo document issued officially through the government. The story follows his failed attempt to clarify said mistake to the officials responsible for processing such documents.The second story (prequel) is about a boy whom is incapable of using language in the common manner. His misunderstanding of the world around him is diagnosed as a physical malady. The form of the illustrations are meant to compliment the content of the narrative.
