“Guess what I'm thinking about now... I'm thinking about you and me, naked. If you want to turn it into reality, follow me”
Harley Reid, Fight Or Flight: A Short Story Prequel

Jean Rhys
“Ma il loro tesoro era rimasto, oro e non soltanto oro. Qualcosa si trova ancora — ma chi la trova non lo dice mai perché, vedi, gliene resterebbe solo un terzo: questa è la legge per chi trova i tesori. Loro vogliono tutto, così non ne parlano. A volte oggetti preziosi, a volte gioielli. È incredibile tutto quello che la gente trova e vende in gran segreto a qualche individuo guardingo che pesa e misura, esita, fa domande che restano senza risposta, poi dà in cambio del denaro. [...]In tutte le isole, da nessuna parte, non si sa da dove. Perché è meglio non parlare di tesoro. Meglio non dirlo. Sì, meglio non dirlo. Non ti dirò che a malapena ascoltavo i tuoi racconti. Desideravo la notte e il buio e l’ora in cui si aprono i fiori lunari.
Cancella la luna,
tira giù le stelle,
Amami al buio, perché
il buio è il nostro destino
presto, presto.
Come gli spavaldi pirati, approfittiamo al massimo di ciò che abbiamo, nel migliore e nel peggiore dei modi. Non dare un terzo ma tutto. Tutto… tutto… tutto. Non tenerti nulla…
No, avrei detto… sapevo quello che avrei detto. — Ho fatto un errore terribile. Perdonami.
Lo dissi, guardandola, vedendo l’odio nei suoi occhi — e sentendo il mio odio che sprizzava incontro al suo. Di nuovo quel cambiamento da vertigine, l’ossessione del ricordo, lo sconvolgente ritorno all’odio. Mi hanno comprato col tuo sporco denaro, me, hanno comprato. Tu li hai aiutati. Mi hai ingannato, tradito, e farai ancora peggio, se ne avrai la possibilità. [...]
… Se ero destinato all’inferno, che sia l’inferno. Basta coi falsi paradisi. Basta con la maledetta magia. Tu mi odi e io ti odio.
Vedremo chi sa odiare meglio. Ma prima — prima voglio distruggere il tuo odio. Il mio odio è più freddo, più forte, e tu non avrai più nessun odio che ti scaldi. Tu non avrai più nulla.
E lo feci. Vidi l’odio scomparire dai suoi occhi. Lo costrinsi a scomparire. E con l’odio scomparve la sua bellezza. Lei non fu più che un fantasma. Un fantasma nella luce grigia del giorno. Non rimase che la disperazione. Dimmi muori e morirò. Dimmi muori e
guardami morire.”
Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea
