Mama’s Gift

Oscar is not the type of person that goes on adventures. He has lived in a tiny apartment above a cafe for thirty years since leaving home at 19. He has never been married, never owned a pet and only buys clothes out of necessity. His wardrobe consists of 4 colours – blue, brown, black and grey. He refuses to go to the barber insisting on using his clippers at home with the number 3 comb to cut his hair once a month. For 365 days a year, Oscar eats oats for breakfast.
