Аноним9 мая 2023 г.Читать далееS. does not condemn the woman. She learned in the camp that people are weak and that it is not good for them to be confronted with temptation. The tiny dead body in the black head-scarf is the saddest sight S. can remember. That cold night in the ruins of the house, the image enters her dream and she knows that she will never be free of it again. The image of the little black bundle in the woman’s hands is imprinted on her memory forever, the image of a woman sacrificing a child to the war because the war is stronger than both she and the child.

It would have been better if she had spent the night in the woods, she would have felt less endangered by animals there than she does by people here. Their menacing presence can still be felt in the house. This devastation is the work of human hands. Just like the death of the new-born infant at the hands of a woman who was supposed to be his grandmother.

A. dies three days later. The wound on her forehead had already started to heal and a fresh reddish scar was beginning to appear under the scab.
The worst thing for me was that this young man really did know her, he had been a friend of her brother.12148 - Аноним4 мая 2023 г.
The person who returns to the ‘women’s room’ the following evening is no longer A. None of them recognise her. She looks like her but they immediately realise that this is no longer A., that A. has left the body standing in front of them. Like her mother whose eyes lived on long after she was dead, A.’s body is still alive, but A. is dead. Since the guards brought her back she neither cries nor speaks.

After a while, the daily horrors and death become routine. S. listens to the camp stories without emotion, she listens to the words dropping into the hollow of her insides. Or she sees scenes, sees them with her own eyes, but it is as if they do not directly concern her. She is no longer horrified or saddened, she does not react at all. Death surrounds her daily, death is a fact. But it is also something that does not concern her until the moment it touches her personally.

Smells are a dangerous thing, they catapult you back into the past and she is afraid of forgetting where she is.

The moment the armed men appeared in their village, each one of them had ceased to be a person. Now they are even less so, they have been reduced to a collection of similar beings of the female gender, of the same blood. Blood alone is important, the right blood of the soldiers versus the wrong blood of the women.

Only she, the water and this moment exist. She feels her body, cold skin, muscles, her thirst, her body’s joy to be alive. Perhaps this is the only way to survive, by living from one moment to the next. The continuous flow of time no longer exists for her, merely isolated moments which are impossible to weave into a meaningful whole.

She still finds unreal the scene of the two women inmates lunging at each other, as if they had forgotten where they were. Maybe they really did forget. Maybe their fight is a sign of humanity, like gossip, theft, friendship, enmity, pettiness and small favours. You cannot think about death all the time, even when you are living in its shadow.
