And then...? But what if...

1. -... and then I somehow sank into me. I saw a beautiful beach, and I felt peaceful, like never before. The sky was full of lights, but not as you could see even during the most clear night; there were stars everywhere, I could notice each one of them although they seemed to be in an infinite number. But something drew me back.
-What happened next?
-I'm not sure. Maybe the adrenalin kicked in, I came back. I felt he wanted me to die, he wanted to kill me. I begged him not to do it and he eased the string he was holding around my neck. But he started to hit me really strong. I didn't feel any pain. I don't remember anything afterwards. I woke up later, tied up like a dog. I managed to untie myself, I got to the phone and I dialed 911.

A supravietuit cumva, cu multiple fracturi. Acelea s-au vindecat, dar cea mai importanta, a unui psihic zguduit, nu inca. A trait pentru ca celalt a crezut-o moarta si, asemeni unei fiare, a plecat odata ce si-a dus la capat intentia - he is still free, hopefully not for long.


2. J citeste o carte pe zi. Nu orice carte, numai acelea de supravietuire. Are Asperger si ADHD, o minte sclipitoare si foloseste o structura lingvistica exotica dar surprinzator de coerenta si directa. Vrea sa salveze lumea, sa nu existe moarte.
-How far did you get in your studies? il intreb. Imi raspunde ca nu terminat college, cursurile nu exprimau ceea ce dorea sa gaseasca. A studiat matematica, apoi fizica, apoi chimia, apoi biologia. In timp ce supravietuia intr-un cort intr-o padure in care nu m-as aventura singur fara o pusca serioasa. A studiat si principalele religii iar ideile sale imi sunt familiare. Bineinteles ca nu ii spun asta, dar explorez cu curiozitate avida mascata lumea ideilor sale in care paianjeni de cristal pasesc alaturi de oameni-peste care soptesc in vis informatii al caror sens nu il intelege inca.
"-Stiu ca primesc aceste informatii in vis, imi spune serios, si stiu ca poate fi doar un vis desi simt ca este o conexiune reala. Nu inteleg inca multe dintre cele transmise, dar citesc in continuare. Simt ca am mintea si memoria ascutite, intotdeauna mi-a fost usor sa invat orice."
Lumea lui pare fantezista si uneori simpla si ciudata, dar cred sincer ca limitarea limbajului necesar descrierii plays a big role in this perception of his inner world. But what if...
