This man, Adam is a fiction of a life. It begins with the central character living on the streets of a large city. He sleeps in a hidden shelter, in the enclosure of a tree. He roams the streets in a constant search of sustenance and better shelter. After a major hurricane where his home is destroyed, he hears in the collapsed ruins of a building a voice calling him by name. It is a woman trapped under the rubble who, digging with his bare hands, he rescues. With the help of this woman, Ev, he leaves the streets and begins to become a man of culture. Developing an interest in art, he collects wooden sculptures from local artist that he successfully sells. Later, he helps in the studio of an elderly woman artist, providing the physical strength she no longer possesses. After her death, he continues to produce her sculpture which he sells with great financial success. Years later,  after reluctantly training a studio assistant to produce “her” sculptures, he leaves the studio returning to the city streets. Here in the name of the elderly woman artist, he creates a final sculpture in which he lives. Finally, too tied to go on, he invents a manner in which to take his last breath inside “her” sculpture and destroy her perfect work with himself.

This man, Adam could be classified as a fable like narrative.
