Rood

Book Summary by: Eni Martin    


 
Scratched him the keyhole, but the door has opened:
-        
No, screamed the crazy voice!
-          No, screamed the raucous voice!
-         No, screamed mute! Not this way!
But, Rood, with opened wide eyes and an enormous curiosity beyond to the reason, didn´t pay attention and carried on. At every step his pass has faded off and the little one becomes just a moment in the movement.
-There is no choice!
-You don´t have a choice, there has never been a choice.
And from outside, he looks inside of himself and in a blinked of eyes his sanity also goes away.  Tremulous he sees then what he has never seen: the beginning and the ending have mixed in the same glass, in the same body. Given birth generations that came from sterile uterus, making a colorless and insipid mass, with an odd smell; vain steps that don´t take anywhere; the pain he doens´t feel for having no seed; the mind that lies.
Rood walks among then picking up shooting stars in a ragged bag, not knowing if it´s still late or still early… but the afternoon blazes and so, with the others, sits at the table, expecting to wait anymore.  Dressed in normal way, argue which are the ends, without still knowing what the middles are.  The silence comes up and the little one gets scared.  The soul makes then speeches about heroes, but Rood doesn´t recognize himself on them.  He is afraid of being afraid, but he is scared of not having fear as well.
Without courage he keeps his daring dreams, when he sees on the wall a crucified man, and the faith vanishes, driving away and on the empty wall shines the light.
The time brutalizes the mass…
The time silences the time and in this slow death, he sees himself in the flesh and tries to touch beyond, but, turns back with empty hands.
He smiles at himself in a distressed comfort without knowing if he had always been or if he is being now and sleeping he realizes that he has already been awoken in a world where to wake up is a crime.
The space tightens. The coherence hides itself, he reminds and forgets.
He walks back. ( Flavia Martin´s screenplay of a surrealist short film/summary of Eni Martin)
