"Why did you kill Celeste?"
"I didn't kill her."
"But you had the gun in your hands."
"Yes. But I didn't kill her."
"Monsieur Jean, do you hear me? Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"I'm sorry, but I have to go. I don't have time to be here with you."
"You can't avoid what has happened and continues to happen. If you're playing, that's enough. Don't take up my time."
Jean, feeling the pain in his hands, looked at his palms, which were covered in blood. He remembered nothing, he knew nothing. And with each second, it was hard for him to know who he was. With every second, he was losing himself. And as he lost himself, he became smaller. His shoulders slumped and he simply began to sink into the iron chair, which seemed like ice.
"Jean, you killed Celeste, and also wounded your friend. Also, you forged his signature on all the documents. You stole everything from him. I knew there
After suffering, one ceases to feel guilty about what happened and is happening. After tears, scars remain on the face that no longer want to hurt. Sometimes it seems that a person has to go through everything and experience everything in order to eventually understand their own truth. It is only when a person has experienced everything that life begins. But sometimes, there are those in life who choose the path of the beholder. And often, trials and sufferings fall on the shoulders of the most sincere and kind people. While the audience continues to watch and applaud when they deem it right.This time, the audience, that is, the society decided that Adelard deserved respect and everyone, putting on their masks again, began to smile at him. Everything was back to normal. The same streets with flowers, the same faces and smiles. And the words, "Monsieur Adelard, how are you? I'm so happy you're all right."They said it again and again and as Adelard walked p
Time passed quickly as Adelard watched his son run through the places where he himself had once run and played as well. He saw himself in him and the happiness was too strong to remember all the pain and anger. No, his heart had always remained pure, without resentment or hatred. And it was his strength that created wings on his back that could never break. A heart without resentment is wings.When evening finally came, Adelard entered the house and stopped in front of a picture of his parents. "Mom, Dad, thank you," he whispered and heard Percival's voice, "How do I look?" He was wearing a new white suit that perfectly described his new start in life. It was perfect to be true.But people brought the truth with them and when everyone he knew was gathered in the house, Adelard walked up to Percival and said to him alone, "White suits you very well."Then, returning his gaze and attention to his guests, who stood with sad faces, Adelard said lou
The gratitude for everyone who contributed to his life was too strong for Adelard to ever say, "I'll never trust people again." No, he remained the same. And even then, when a new life met him and even when he opened the book about his life.It was a heavy book, like his life, with his face on the cover. It was a book that kept everything about his family and about him. It was also a history of humanity. More precisely, human nature. Namely, the nature of person, who always wants to destroy the kindness, to insult and make suffer the one who is willing to do anything for the good of others. This book is not only about a person who was able to remain human after all that people have done, but it is about the fact that people are still not ready for kindness.They are not ready for generosity, because once you give something to them, they immediately become greedy and don't appreciate it at all, until they lose it all. They are not ready for understanding. Af
From the beginning of ancient times, in a world covered by oceans and seas, in a world full of dreams, one person wandered, wandered from the very beginning, wandered in eternal search, in search of something beautiful.This certain creature was certainly not alone. This creature had two companions whose personalities we will learn a little later. And first, let's focus on this very person. And you can't call him person, most likely he is some kind of an idea, a concept, intangible beautiful. Centuries changed, people changed, thoughts changed, habits remained, hearts collapsed and were born again. This is a kind of cycle. Maybe magical, maybe even wonderful, but maybe not. But it is not for us to judge this. After all, the only unit that is able to judge, speak and repeat is love itself. Yes, it is the very love that has been wandering since the beginning of time. It is the only measure of virtue, perhaps even humanity.
"You are in a good state of mind today, Monsieur. I'm glad to see you like this," said Nicholas, smiling happily. Putting on his jacket, Adelard smiled back. Straightening strands of his long hair once more, he turned to Nicholas. "How many times have I told you not to address me so formally? How long have we known each other. You are just like a brother to me. So there is no need for this word Monsieur. Will it be convenient for you if I refer to you like this? Monsieur Nicholas, please bring me the morning paper. Monsieur Nicholas, please give me that bottle of cologne." "Okay. Stop that. I'm really uncomfortable," answered Nicholas slightly shaking him by the shoulders. "That's much better. The people around me already treat me like a king. They are always so polite. Since childhood, I have not seen a single emotion other than admiration and deceitful politeness."
The next day, Adelard was busy with the work of the factory from the very morning. Numerous documents, calculations of goods, profits, negotiations, all this was just a light veil that separated him from that very beautiful girl. Trying not to think about her, he tried to immerse himself in work, but today it was more difficult for him than ever. "Monsieur, what about Monsieur Jean? How to deal with him?" asked the young man in round glasses. Adelard directed his attention towards the young man in front of him. "Are you a new employee? You were sent to me to be my personal assistant, right? Remind me of your name?" "Theo. My name is Theo, Monsieur." "Theo," Adelard whispered and continued, "And so Theo, since you are my new assistant, then here is what you should do today." Getting up from his chair, he went to the door and closed it. Young Theo watched him intently. Approaching him, Ad
A summer evening, softly wrapped the city. The aroma of the rain was everywhere.Inhaling such an aroma, any person felt a little dizzy and tender nastolgiya of the distant childhood.Entering the restaurant, Adelard looked around.The aromas of various dishes and the smell of perfume made him a little intoxicated. The high ceiling was decorated with flowers and wood carvings, creating a feeling of home comfort. And only small round tables that were scattered everywhere and soft sofas reminded that this was a public place.Stepping onto the soft carpet, Adelard noticed the waiter that was running in his direction."Monsieur Jean is waiting for you in a separate room," the waiter said.Without saying anything, Adelard walked through the small crowd of beautiful women and men. Making a slight bow in front of everyone, without saying anything, he walked towards the wooden door at the end of the room.Feeling someone's hand on
After a sweet dream, Adelard opened his eyes and noticed that the transparent curtains on his windows looked very aesthetically pleasing. Previously, not noticing this kind of thing, he was so far from the art of aesthetics.As he watched the thin curtains with small flowers sway in the warm wind, he felt a surge of inspiration. Reaching out to the table by the bed, his hand took a pen and paper.Looking at how the wind plays with the curtains and how the sun's rays fall on the carpet, leaving lines right up to the door, for some reason he felt like a young poet before whom all the colors of this beautiful world were revealed.After writing a few lines, he looked thoughtfully at his reflection in the mirror. Thinking about something that was known only to his mind, he got up and went to the mirror.Standing upright in his night robe, he touched his chest where his heart was beating. With a slight sadness in his eyes, he slowly touched his
