It’s just beyond me… Part IX
And it just seems like plain nonsense…)It's just beyond me… Chapter 10: Trials
Tenth session.-You know doctor, I've always hated judges' robes. Seriously, I've always had a horrible creepy feeling when ever I saw them, they are same colour as crows and the bright pin that ornaments themseems to give them license to radically change your life. I have always hated judges' robes and that ridiculous bell that they have and they never ring, those flags that do not wave and the strange beings who look at you with empty eyes from the bench.
The first time I went to trial I was branded by the piercing eyes of thebitter lady that I was staring at me without feeling and the attitude ofyoung man who called himself secretary who stared at the floor with his fat paste glasses and took note of each word. Two rats tooknotes and were watching us from the seats behind us, taking notes. They judged me and my children and whispered bets on what these soulless beings would do to our lives. And that strange creature of uncertain age who was closing envelopes that woud be sent to other mothers who also see their world destroyed as soon as the opened that envelope from hell. At the end of the day, we were just another number, he didn't even look at us. An owl and a turtle, that is what the members of the prosecution, who were whispering among themselves and looking at me and my children, who were sitting on the bench, looked like.
I've always hated judges' and the secretary's robes, the attorney andfirst and foremost the lawyer. Poor girl, so young and with short dark hair , she had a lot papers and a characteristic jitters as she looked at us from the defense. She came highly recommended for these situations and our family was not problematic after all, it was normal.They only had to admit they had done the atrocities of which they were accused of and everything would be fine.
I have always hated judges' robes, because it was that bitter ladywho ordered that my fifteen year old sons were sent to jail and my life lost its meaning. They needed to change, to improve their attitude and life. Detoxification … Gawd, that word hurt … What went wrong? Where did we we fail?
I have always detested the judges' robes, because it was that robethat changed the course of my life and poisoned my happy family. It was the beginning of the end.
Anyway … How was Christmas Eve, Doctor? I'm glad to hear it. No , I was alone this time … the boys could not come, but the are comingon New Years Eve … I hope.
Thank you, you are very king. See you on Friday then?
Good bye, Doctor.
