Sometimes we feel like we are all alone in this world. This is the story of Stanislaw Kaminski.
Nobody took any notice of him.
He was alone.
However, things are not always what they seem to be.
13
Who are you? I‘m Juan. I live nearby.
What do you want? 14
The kids say you‘re a real mean guy.
So?!
I don‘t believe that.
Come on in, kiddo! And don‘t be scared. I don‘t bite.
15
A little smelly. Nevertheless your place is not that bad.
I like it this way. You want something to drink?
Is that why you never go out?
Sure!
I asked if you wanted something to drink!
Don‘t you ever go out at all?
16
I go shopping ... sometimes.
Oh, what the hell. You see, once you get to my age, you don‘t need all that hectic out there on the streets anymore. And I‘ve seen everything anyway.
It rather seems to me you‘re scared of the outside world!
WHAAAT?!
But that‘s okay. I like you anyway. And if you want to, I‘ll do the shopping for you from now on.
17
Umh? Why? What do you want in return?
I don‘t know. We‘ll see.
Well, ok.
You can do the shopping for me. Here‘s some money. But if you try to screw me, I‘ll...
Don‘t worry. It all stays in the family after all. Ha, ha, ha!!! See you later! Stays in the family?! What the ... this cheeky brat. Still, I like him. 18
From this day on, the boy visited Mr. Kaminski every week.
He provided the old man with news from the neighborhood and did his shopping.
For the old man these moments were precious.
19
Though he was used to being alone, waiting for the boy pressed on Kaminski‘s mood. He had never before felt so lonesome. These moments were almost maddening.
He eagerly awaited the boy‘s visits. 20
However, one day the boy did not show up.
Kaminski kept waiting ... ... and waiting ... and waiting.
And he waited in vain.
Because Juan did not come. 21
Where is he?
Has something happened to him?
Has he forgotten about me?
He hates you!
22
Who‘s there?
I!
Who‘s „I“?
Ich bin ich!
Who are you?
I‘m your friend.
Your only friend.
Leave me alone!
23
Hey, behave! After all, it was me, who always protected you from the outside world. And this is how you thank me? Now calm down and forget about the boy ...
... he will never bother you again. I will see to that.
Shut up!
What have you done? Where is Juan? I‘ve got to find him.
Oh yes! Come and kiss me!
NO!
24
We are your friends now.
NOOOOO!
AARRRGH!
There‘s no escape!
25
Stay here!
Stop him!
26
But Kaminski escaped. He was free.
27
But where was the boy?
The reunion turned out to be different than what he had expected.
28
You?
And his discovery did not make him happy at all.
Because it meant, that no one cared about him after all.
I and I alone!
