Death and the Penguin

Viktor is an aspiring writer with only Misha, his pet penguin, for company.
Although he would prefer to write short stories, he earns a living composing
obituaries for a newspaper. He longs to see his work published, although
the subjects of his obituaries continue to cling to life. But when he finds
his work in print for the first time, his pride swiftly turns to terror
and he and Misha are drawn into a trap...

Viktor, ein junger erfolgloser Autor, verdient sich seinen Lebensunterhalt mit dem Schreiben von Nachrufen. Doch gerade dadurch geraten er und sein Haustier, ein Pinguin namens Misha, in die Fänge der Mafia.
