“Me llamo Allen Brewster. Tengo nueve años. Vivo en el numero 4152 de vía Solino. En la calle, hay un coche pardo con dos hombres dentro. Vigilan la casa.” Así comienza su confesión este joven investigador. No le gustaba el hígado y buscó la manera de alimentarse como las plantas, a base de agua y sol.
