The Third Policeman

A comic/surreal tale of a one-legged gentleman farmer who participates in a botched robbery-turned-murder, only to find himself having a long conversation with the dead man shortly after the deed. The farmer is sent to a two-dimensional barracks of three metaphysical policemen. Here he finds himself in a world where people can become bicycles and eternity is within walking distance.
