The first part, Owl- Window, describes the burdensome childhood experiences of a boy, inflicted by a cold, negligent mother, whose entire being is consumed by destructive conflicts and belligerent fights within her marriage. The reader is taken into the dark inner-worlds of Angst, a complex labyrinth of neverending hallways of fear, full of painful passages covered with treacherous traps that lead into lonely dungeons where the soul is bound and tormented. Cold, cruel owl’s eyes become the landmark of horror, the bearer of death and the cause of nightly anxiety. The cage of Angst has become a virtually inescapable prison.
