10 Little Soldier Boys

息子がピアノコンクールに参加する日、私は向かう途中で交通事故に遭った。 怪我の状態を気にする余裕はなく、私はおびえながら会場に駆けつけ、ちょうど授賞式に間に合った。 息子は金メダルを手に取り、興奮した表情で私の方に走ってきた。 私は微笑みながら頭を下げ、彼は背を向けて金メダルを夫の初恋の首にかけた。 私が10年間愛してきた夫でさえ、イライラした口調で言った。 「お前、こんな格好してどうしたんだ？汚くて、まるで物乞いみたいだ！ 今夜の息子の祝賀会には来るなよ。お前が来たら恥ずかしいって言われるぞ！」 私は一言も言わず、一人で病院に行って診てもらった。 雨の中を走って別荘に戻ったが、ドアがすでに施錠されているのに気づいた。 そして、私は激しい雨の中、一晩中ドアをノックした。 夜明けが訪れ光が差し込む頃、私は彼らにメッセージを送った。 「離婚します。あなたたちの望む通り、これからはもう邪魔しません」
