Death and the Penguin

The only person who can accompany Viktor, an aspiring writer, is his pet penguin, Misha. Though his dream project would be short tales, he writes obituaries for a newspaper and makes a livelihood doing so. Although the subjects of his obituaries are still alive, he longs to see his work published. His pride quickly gives way to fear, however, as he opens the newspaper to see his work published for the first time. It seems that he and Misha have fallen into a trap from which there is no way out.
