The first knife sferrai strongly, squeezing with your fingers that handle rugged, sinking as much as possible the blade inside the body. I was not talking, I said nothing, did not feel the need to say a word, but watched with eyes fixed what I did, and my movements are convinced as I went forward. I did not know this man, But I had a feeling of disgust against him, even though I was not able to clarify to myself the real reason for that feeling. I felt that I would not be able to quickly erase the revulsion I felt, but my behavior was the only justifiable, only that I could feel my own, identifying with those blows as if there had been nothing, nothing can to me in those moments.
of that body, I felt a visceral horror, perhaps the look, smell, perhaps, I do not know, what I was certain that I could not bear to hear him still breathing, and in those moments that being filthy was started issue of hateful rales and obscene. So with one of the stab wounds after her throat cut, but by keeping a distance, with his arm outstretched, a blow dry, almost trying not to have anything to do with the soft flesh, that look old, her face bloodied, now almost unrecognizable, his body stinking. With the tip of the blade continued to chop the back and arms while gasping on the ground, then let go of the knife, and immediately kicked the body that did not move even more now, almost wanting him to do more resistance, which rebel against his fate, even to flood satisfaction. Finally
covered it with dust and soil using my shoes to lift all around, quasi a cercare di assorbire quel sangue che aveva sporcato il viottolo, quella stradina di campagna vicina ad una macchia di lecci e di querce, come desiderando annullare, disintegrare quel corpo ignobile. Scoprii all’improvviso di avere sudato nello sforzo di colpire, poi vidi un legno, un semplice bastone, lo passai sotto a quelle braccia che non facevano più alcuna resistenza, e trascinai quel corpo fino dentro al bosco; vidi una specie di fossa e lo feci rotolare dentro, poi, sempre con i piedi, lo coprii alla meglio di terra e sassi, e infine me ne andai.
Non raccontai mai niente di quell’incontro, e nessuno me ne chiese nulla. Ma io spesso ripenso a quanto era accaduto quel giorno, ed ogni volta riprovo la stessa sensazione, quella voglia profonda di distruggere chi mi assomigliava.
