Altogether, the work brings together fourteen short stories with simple narratives. According to the author, a good story does not need to be presented through various devious paths. "For example, the simple walk shows how your legs and arms are part of the balance, and your head focused on the target, that is, the story ", comments.

The tale that lends its name to the book talks about a boy who is there 18 years hibernated and never left the House in fear of life and of others. Your life boils down to the room in the company of two aunts, a blind and another deaf and mute. He surprises everyone when resolves to date without leaving home.
