Amadeus & His Imaginary Friend Botan

From the book project "The Floating Kingdom", part "Amadeus & His Imaginary Friend Botan"

They are always together. This is Amadeus and his imaginary friend Botan. When Amadeus became an ambitious young man, he offered Botan to be with him forever. The papers about the deal were prepared and signed! Amadeus' friends talk behind his back about some secret that helps Amadeus to be innovative and full of energy. Of course, he became the most charismatic person in the west part of Manhattan, Hudson Yards. In his case, there is no supernatural force, he did not forget and did not throw away his imaginary friend, like most young people, he kept him in his life forever. (Allois) After Party

From the book project "The Floating Kingdom", part "After Party:

Everyone has their "petals and commodities." Casey talks about forbidden pleasures like chocolate, endless travel, or subversive romantic freshness. Sometimes it's hidden in your shadow and you don't know it, or you pretend you don't. The most important thing for Casey is "to dive in" and find something interesting in the old trunk that is her shadow. She and her beloved Timmy call this experience "Let's get lost in an abandoned cathedral." Allois
