FALL STOP. The final life of Wilber Patorkin. A novel in three chapters

Daniel Martin Eckhart

Meet the most powerful person on Earth...
This book is about getting old, being old, and getting older still! Have you ever looked at the old man on the subway and wondered about his story? Old people. Who's behind those ancient faces? Do they still have a life? Do they have family? Are they happy?
This is the story of Wilber Patorkin. At the tender age of one hundred and thirteen he's the oldest man alive in the United States of America. His body is failing him gloriously, his legs will barely carry him, his quivering lips and dentures turn his words into meaningless babble... and yet he has the clearest brain and the brightest eyes you've ever seen. His steps may be tiny but his story is epic. His words may be few but his mind goes beyond your wildest imagination.
Join Wilber on a most unlikely journey, a journey of unfathomable discovery, and you may just find yourself along the way!
