Το μακρύ σοκάκι - Second Edition

Areti's murder did not shock Platanias because the perpetrators were the arrogant children of the wealthy merchant Miliosi, but also because the victim was a "retarded person." And while the girl's death is collectively attributed to an accident, thirteen-year-old Zisis "drowns." He also has a brother who suffers from a mental illness, a brother who screams at night and lives tied to a leash in an attic.

Zisis finds solace in music, to which his mother introduces him, until he hears from his tortured grandmother a testimony about something she herself saw in the long alley, the narrow road that connects the village square with the cemetery. The grandmother warns him not to respond if he hears the call, on the night with the full moon.

But someone else will hear the call.

The second edition also includes the short story "Just because you don't see me doesn't mean I don't see you."
