14792 - Humane Monologue II

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

– Do you think that that was a lie? But it seemed so real. I found nothing when I returned at the same place. Not a single drop of blood. I was sure… I guess that’s what I thought… Why to return, I didn’t do anything then, what am I supposed to do now? Humane temptation… I wanted to be sure I wasn’t guilty. But now that a crime has not even existed, how could a guilty exist? I’m feeling dizzy. Something is wrong, it can’t be. But it was here! Wasn’t it here? Maybe not. The flies left. But why? And the sun, always hot.
