Abstract
This novella presents three characters, each occupying a different sphere of reality. One is a 'living dead' who is forced to return to the land of the living for his continued existence. The other is a young woman who, having lost the will to live, must find a purpose if she is to continue living. The third is a young man who dwells more in the inner than the external world. Their lives intersect through the scripture known as 'a fragment of a bone.'
