A boy called Sullen sets out on a mythic adventure in order to discover a way to render the fleeting moments of joy one experiences in life permanent. He crosses through a magical doorway into the sky before soon arriving in a strange land in which an ominous gloom pervades and one must first be open to the idea of love before it can ever warm the heart. On his journey he encounters characters who travel by his side, subtly urging him towards self-realisation and a greater understanding of the rare person he can be. A hopeful, silly tale meant to make the reader smile.
