Mr Frisk

To say that Mr. Robert Frisk is a creature of habit is an understatement. He’s lived a simple, frugal life, and if he was lonely, it didn’t seem to bother him. When Mr. Frisk is visited by a strange man in the middle of the night and subsequently passes away, his son Benjamin isn’t sure what to make of his father’s death-or his life, for that matter.

Prompted by this sudden change, Benjamin begins asking questions about the meaning and consequences of life’s everyday decisions. Should he continue with his stable yet low-paying job at a local quarry or take a risk? His father left him a considerable amount of money, but what was the use of Mr. Frisk’s thriftiness if he never enjoyed it? How can Benjamin avoid repeating his father’s mistakes? How can he live his own life to its fullest potential?

Mr. Frisk is an examination of one man’s attempt to make sense of his father’s choices, and thus make better decisions for himself and his family. Written in a lyrical, simple voice, this everyman story will inspire you to ponder your life’s decisions and to strive not only to live, but to live fully.
