HUNGER AND THIRST. In his first nightmare, Jean returns to a dilapidated apartment he lived in a long time ago. His wife imagines that now they will live happily. However, a forgotten anxiety makes Jacques fear that this ground floor will become his tomb.

In the second nightmare, he finds himself on the mountain peaks of his hope. The air is clean. Life and happiness seem to touch eternity. But Jean does not seem liberated, and in the end, even the sky feels like a dead end. There remains a kind of infernal monastery, where the hero accidentally finds refuge in his third and last nightmare. At first, it is presented as a place of tranquility, but in the end, the monks torment him by forcing him to serve the community. The moral of the story is "there is no soup for the dogmatic." The hero seeks to escape the miserable conditions of his life. In the end, he surrenders, is flattened, and drowned in the soup.

THE BALD SINGER. The dialogues of the manuscript, which however had been copied correctly, became confused. Undeniable truths got mixed up. The characters in the work suffer from amnesia. A firefighter tells unbelievable stories. The elementary logical truths exchanged in the dialogues reach the limits of madness.
