Translation of : Mathieu trop court, François trop long

Stephen hates his new neighbourhood. It's ugly, dirty and far from the country. And even worse, he doesn't know anyone. It's too hard--and takes too long--to make new friends. Matthew feels lonely too. He doesn't go to school anymore... not since his mother died from the sickness, his sickness, the sickness of our time.... Now, they're all afraid of him. Between a ration of pills and coughing fits, he lashes out at his enemies: the neighbourhood birds.
