A desperate old man meets a stranger
The story begins with Fernand Wagner, an aged man who has little left to lose. He is poor, he is growing weak, and he looks back on a life that has given him few rewards. Reynolds uses this low point to make the reader understand why anyone would listen to a voice from the dark.
Then a mysterious stranger appears. He seems to know Wagner's wishes before Wagner speaks them. He offers what every worn-out person might long for, which is youth, strength, and a chance to live again.
The scene works like an old folk tale. The offer is warm and generous, and the danger hides behind it. The reader senses at once that nothing so large can come without a price, and that Wagner is too desperate to ask the right questions.
That’s 1 of 4 key points.
