The story is about an angel who takes pity on human suffering during the primeval times. The angel descends from Heaven to help by finding a way to hold on to their memories a bit longer: By inventing written words (symbols). It can be subversively read as a story of Lucifer viewed from a different perspective and/or as a story of the very first librarian of the universe. It questions the unwarranted and coarse judgment upon what we have labeled “evil” from time immemorial.
