THE (PAPER) TRAP

The storm mounts a horse, then a second one.
The luminous gray sky projects into rooms unreal beams of light.
The sheets are full of heady scents and eyes roll, heads are thrown back, lips wet and opened.
Everything is full of a suave anger. Under the huge staircase, two cats hide in the dark. The sound of the rain covers smothered crying, upstairs (at the end of the hall). A child weeps.
Everything trembles and collides. A vase has broken and the flowers with their sparse petals crawl on the water. The wind blows in the halls, stirring up the dust...

- The trap -

Then, slowly, calmly, the rain stops, the thunder moves away. The huge building returns to its normal appearance. In the bedroom (at the end of the corridor), the crying has ceased.
One last sneaky gust violently pushes open the door.
The little body has gone limp, teeth biting the pillow,
one hand hangs, limply. His eyes are open, it seems, looking at a book. At the bottom of the page is written :
« Try as he might to not let the book open to the death psalms :
on the page where the book opened, there was only death and tombs. »

- The trap -
