在第二和第三次出差的间隙，一名士兵回到了家中。

来到他以前的家，也就是说，在新租户的工作时间用了一把旧钥匙。他是重新进入旧生活还是在借用别人的生活？他不会越过的线在哪里？每一天都是一样的：他处于一种暂停状态，几乎不知道自己是如何度过时光的——直到有人闯入了这位同样是入侵者的家。

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles.

Between his second and third tours of duty, a soldier returns home.

To his former home, that is, using an old key while the new tenant is at work. Is he re-entering his old life or borrowing someone else's? Where is the line he will not cross? Each day is the same: he exists in a state of suspension, barely knowing how he passes the time - until someone else intrudes on the intruder.

Adrian Tomine, graphic master of alienation and regret, expertly expands the form to express the unsaid and the unbearable in this unforgettable evocation of a post-traumatic life.

Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.
