Joy

maybe there are scandalous deaths, but my mom’s is not one of them. Mom had a good life and her death did not take away anything that she experienced, actually to the contrary. Obviously, she could have been able to live ten more years but we could say that about all of the dead or almost all of them could have been able to live for ten more years. I must not be very clear because the murmuring inflates; yet I have said nothing aside from self-evident facts. “No further questions, Madame judge,” the prosecutor gives up; before heavily sitting down, he fixes his hair.

reposes his question, with an aggressive tone of voice: -What doyounot understand, Mr. Solaro? I stay quiet but I feel they are waiting for something from me. My lawyer turns around nervously and all of the eyes are on me. So, I say it is the word “scandal” that I don’t understand. I say that Rédoine was a gang leader who lived in violence and that I am not sure that his death is a scandal; that it seems more logical than other things. In the eyes that fix on me and in the small murmuring that gets louder, I can tell that I have not been understood. I’m the one who killed him and I’m not in the right place to say this, but, Rédoine’s death rather falls into the natural order of things, there you go, that’s what I think. Iaddthatmymom’sdeathdoes not seem scandalous either,
