“Then we will go outside to celebrate life. I am sure that the new year will be excellent. "49Please respect copyright.PENANAkaZ8NMp9Bx
Argh!!! I close the book quickly, then carefully and cheerfully throw it against the other corner of the sagging table in the garden. I close my eyes, take a deep breath and rub them lazily, just to get over the disgust of what I've wasted my day reading. Hey! I’m so taken aback! What a stupid lady! And to think that I wasted this shitty day, after all the dirty mess this morning had brought with Jim and that scoundrel next door and his monkey son, after I got some new cuts from my husband's madness , after nearly being raped twice… there I said to myself that oh here finally comes the calm I had been craving. A good glass of red wine from a good meadow in a sparkling cup, a good book and hop there goes a fantastic reading session in the garden under a beautiful sunny weather coveting the procession of chicks who jostle under its cloudy coat, just so I could romanticize my already quite miserable life and give myself the impression of being the main character in a tale of old English bourgeoisie... But NO, NO , NO, none of that, nothing romantic, all good bunch of shitty ink! Shitty weather! A shitty book! Already expired wine in a shitty half-broken glass goblet! What did I expect from those African puppets anyway, it's not like they know how to make simple bloody household utensils...Damn it! Argh! How can this woman, this Linda, after so much claiming to be bored to death in her perfect marriage, after having the opportunity to fuck with a more fiery man, a man who fucks her good enough to the point of bringing back her carefree, dumb teenage self, how after getting a second chance at feeling like a WOMAN, she decided to end up with her husband just because he bought_ yeah and I mean bought not brought_her security? 49Please respect copyright.PENANAnBFjxOaKQc
My God, she is so dumb, so dumb! She had the chance that I didn't have, the chance to become someone other than a man's last name, the opportunity to get blown by another penis, the opportunity to run away from her routine but no Que dalle! She remained cloistered there, to continue the game of the exemplary woman. Oh how I wish fo-… Actually, no, I'm just as much of a bitch, maybe even more than that woman from some damn story that doesn't even exist! I am dumber than she will ever be because unlike her whose choice to stay is purely fictitious and therefore will not affect anyone's reality, my choice to stay will lead me, with me a dozen of innocent souls, to the grave.
I stay, and put up with Jim's madness, not because I have no choice but to leave, no, no, I stay because I have no choice but to stay. Who am I besides his last name? What life do I have other than just being Mrs. McGuire? We leave when we know we have something for ourselves, a house, money, children to ensure the future of… Ha ha ha it's so funny, what do I have in life aside from my junk ring? I find myself bursting out laughing but it's so funny! I'm not smart enough to go out and start a business. No, I lost my entire adolescence, rather than swapping my eyesight for some geeky pairs of glasses and a brain twin to Isaac Newton and graduate in an ugly black gown to a thousand rounds of applause, picking cocks after cocks, I even killed two children in the process, one that I abandoned, and the other that I aborted because I didn't want to spoil the vanity of my body with a stupid pregnancy. And to be honest just between us, who would agree to carry the filth of Jim and give birth to his palpable photocopy, another schizophrenic on my back? Oh I'll pass on that. I killed her without remorse... This is too funny, I can't stop laughing. I'm such a badass nasty woman, oh my god! That shit got me in tears!
I can't leave because I'm not fourteen anymore to look for another man to gallop with, although at fourteen I was only fucking Mahmoud... anyway you already got my point! My father sold my destiny to a man, and I only became the surety for his own story. I am the ransom he promises to pay his debtors if his pockets go empty, the bargaining chip for all his sins. I just don't give a fuck to be honest! At my age, I no longer need that many orgasms anyway, I need power, praise, blood and money. And as long as being nobody but a McGuire gives me wheat to eat, and cotton to make my dresses with, and my little diamond pearls to wear, then as long as I’m willing to stay. Because who I am if not just a last name... McGuire...49Please respect copyright.PENANA9QLnUYm8oI

The wind had risen in a terrible tornado, clearing away the pieces of flowers that were struggling to come out of this arid land. The sky was so threatening, with the puffs of air contaminated with dust that I had fled the terrace of the garden to shelter myself inside this ignoble fortress. It's just weird that the climate changes so suddenly and brutally, especially in this country, where it hardly ever rains. They say they have a rainy season, let me laugh! It's still very stupid considering their very short "rainy season" usually comes in the summer period. Yes, everything upside down with them, why wonder at their misery and poverty, everything is upside down over here! Though I heard the rainy season gets heavier every five years, maybe we're in the fifth year streak since the last one…49Please respect copyright.PENANAJTBo5leY2o
I don't care anyway, I just wonder where Jim could have been while the cherubim are blowing the trumpets.49Please respect copyright.PENANAgIhxTlSovm
The little piece of furniture present in this rat hole was beginning to waddle. I stood in front of the large glassworks waiting to see Jim's silhouette to reassure myself that he hadn't been killed on the way by a clap of thunder. But I was a little more alarmed because nothing predicted his coming. Think again immediately, I don't like him! If I'm worried, that’s simply because I'm not ready to become a widow and most specifically NOT HERE in this fucking country?! Oh no no, I must not be delivered into the hands of enemies. If I have to be a believer again just to get Jim through the fence safe and sound, I will. Wait!… when I was still going to mass with my dad, we were praying morning mary or afternoon mary, my fucking god how the fuck do we even recite this prayer? I fucking forgot it.. Evening Mary, no hello Mary who art in heaven, yeah this seems right… mother of Jesus, no Jesus' mom do not-do-don't leave us into temptation?…. god blessed your womb… At the time of our death, pray for Jesus and give us our daily bread...
Pray for Jesus? Pff what the hell am I even saying Jesus!!
A violent thunder had torn the jolts that the surging wind brought down on the roofs of the city. Until then, the dying lights from the limping streetlights had gone out. I still didn't move, I was assailed and torn between the desire to go and light a candle and go back under the sheets, already preparing myself to mourn Jim and organizing my return to France or staying there in front of the glassworks, hoping to make out a moving shape in the shadows emerging everywhere. But I was also afraid of leaving my place and falling on a rat, or another animal or uh, uh a spirit… Africans believe in spirits, ghosts… No, no, I'm better off here.
I hadn’t had the opportunity to come back from my thoughts, that large hands slipped over my eyes and covered my view already blurred by total darkness.

I almost choked on my saliva. Hon'? What about me stupid... Love? I think we are going MENTAL!
As I was about to set the table to prevent dear Jim the loving husband from going to dear Jim, the bully with memory lapses, a creaking of the door makes me turn around in panic.
