“I had always liked darkness. When I was small I was afraid of it if I was alone, but when I was with others I loved it and the change to the world it brought. Running around in the forest or between houses was different in the darkness, the world was enchanted, and we, we were breathless adventurers with blinking eyes and pounding hearts. When I was older there was little I liked better than to stay up at night, the silence and the darkness had an allure, they carried a promise of something immense. And autumn was my favorite season, wandering along the road by the river in the dark and the rain, not much could beat that. But this darkness was different. This darkness rendered everything lifeless. It was static, it was the same whether you were awake or asleep, and it became harder and harder to motivate yourself to get up in the morning. I succeeded, and five minutes later I was standing in front of my desk again, but what happened there was also rendered lifeless. It felt as though I was getting nothing back from what I was doing. However much effort I put in, nothing came back. Everything vanished, everything dissolved into the great darkness in which we lived. I might as well say this as that, do this as that, nothing made any difference.”

“Les ténèbres étaient vastes et coulantes. Elles ondulaient au bord de moi. Tout n’était qu’écho, pulsation, flottement, étirement, sommeil, éveil et faim. Dans mon cœur qui vibrait comme un colibri, quelque chose attendait : un potentiel. Une rage lointaine qui crépitait. Puis il y a eut un souffle, un déchirement en moi et les ténèbres de velours se fendirent. Froid, terreur et lumière blanche glaciale.”
