How many are there? Hold on, let me count them. Five.
Maybe more. They network…I don’t know. Let me see…
Maybe three. Does it matter? They count. They know
the exact number. They know how many of us men remain
on this earth. They come for all of us. I…
Let’s go.
No, that swift knife did not come by itself from the
hand of my beautiful loving friend. This was my
fault, me, Aitia, the cause, I did something horribly
wrong, shameful and wrong. What? Does it matter? I
snobbishly discarded the cowardly lack of will of the
people to stand up against the dictatorship of S. M.
and peddled at their flaws.
But, there were ones who told me that the ones who
remained I was looking at with an eye of mockery, as
if they were mages, insane and criminals, as if…as if
we were the ones who held you against your will.
And it was no longer important what was said, nor the
enchanting passion and force behind the ‘Ah, you will
come back to us soon’ wickedness with a wink, but a
concept of rhythm and tempo wherein the uttered swung
enchanted, rooted in the intuition of this spirit of
darkness or whatever was sent to get me to pick
completely gray, meaningless and messy faces and
plant in their mouths narratives, sentences and
judgments which their minds, thinking humanly
intuitively and wickedly, could not say it at all,
because those judgments were uttered with a dark
force which the mind of the provincial person which
collapses itself into the nothingness of the subject,
i.e. itself, with its icy passions, cannot even hate
too much. They especially cannot express themselves
in that magically silent way in which the great
demons terrify, threaten and curse every person who
manages to force them out of his or her body or to
fight back.
