Summer and The Ladies



So the weeks and months pass and turn from future to past, like this summer. I have spent my time with four wonderful young ladies - not real, of course, just in my mind. Real people I have not seen in months, accept while getting some food from the grocers. As  social bullying is one of the most depressing things in this world - why should I miss people? Well, some are nice...

These ladies I mentioned - Sara Karen, highly intelligent, logical mind in a slender and beautiful body. And her concept of justice... She works as a part time informaticist in the university library, but if asked about her profession she would say she is a poet. Poetry is her real ambition, information is just for money. Part of poetry consists of justice. Her view of justice is quite of the Old Testament: an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. She is not religious, on the contrary, but there is no mercy in her thinking. So she is intelligent, but also highly emotional, which is a dangerous combination, and the ruthlessness... This made her charming, enchanting and a killer.

And Myrte, the skillful surgeon with great ambitions . she is an example of a modern woman at her best! Until she met Roy... She fell for him head over heels - ok, I admit, he was charmant, trés charmant, but why could she not see through him? When she found out... well she turned her skills to torture and killing, and so she lost her innocence. After three weeks alone with her, chained and maimed, Roy was barely half conscious when she promised to him that it would be the last day of his life, he said: - Just what I've wanted most of my life, someone to put me out of my misery. Death is a release and I love you, my Myrte...
By saying so he robbed her joy and turned it to a Pyrrhos' victory.

Yet they had to live within themselves, as killers and murderers. And then they met each other, but they also met Oana, the young refugee girl from Serbia. She was so different for she had seen the other side of hate, the innocent side, as a victim. Even Sara Karen states that there is no justice in life.

Yes, I suppose I have to keep their company for some years before we are done, justice or no justice. They are interesting ladies, not forgetting or excluding the youngest, Penny, who still believes and studies with bright eyes and untamed fury. She believes in her science and trusts it to give answers when questions appear. Penny, Penny - and they all want to keep her so, to protect her from... yes, from what? Life?
