14795 - Humane Monologue V

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou, Evi Charitidou

– One shadow please. They will take me for stupid. Does it matter? One shadow please. No one is answering. But where did they go? The whole town is empty. And the buildings… Yes, the buildings… And who hit them… Bombs? I don’t know… Maybe. One shadow please… What has happened here, what’s going on here. Is it… It can’t be. I would have known… But, how come and nothing is working any longer. No one is answering… And the sun always above our heads… We are humans without shadows. It can’t be… I continue… I’m walking… So, war has come. The war without name.
