It sets out to explore the existing dichotomy between the religious belief of a predestined fate and the existentialist observation of random consequence. The primary purpose of the text is to entertain my audience and to position them to empathise with the plight of my protagonist‚ who himself is an allegory for an individual caught in the Cold War climate.
