Charlie Mears is a twenty-year-old bank employee with literary aspirations whose motivation at that moment is to write what he considers to be "The most beautiful story in the world." In some billiard rooms he coincides with a writer, to whom he shows the bases of his story, which he will title "The story of a ship." He will be absorbed by the overwhelming imagination with which the boy describes the ship as a Greek galot, providing all kinds of details very difficult to know by a simple boy who was a bank employee and who had hardly read anything until now.
How is it possible that such a young boy, who has barely read, can narrate historical adventures with such ease and detail? Later appointments between the two take place, in which Charlie continues to describe with great clarity of detail, situations on the boat, the rowers, the arrangement of the oars ... etc.
After successive sessions, the writer reaches the terrifying conclusion that the boy is having a kind of transmigrations of his soul called metempsychosis, which are extreme dualisms, the soul changes body after death.
It thus concludes that Charlie had definitely been in other times, a kind of Greek galley (man who paddled in a forced way on galleys). It is predictable the ecstasy that the writer suffers before that great opportunity that he has in front of him to be able to write stories in real time, of things that happened thousands of years ago ...
