لقد تركني الجميع... أفلتوا يدي، لا أتذكر مستثنى ليستثنى منهم..حتى الحبل الذي كنت أتعلق به في السماء أفلتُّه... سقطت في المقابر بين الموتى !! وحين عدت للحياة أصبحت ميتًا وسط الأحياء. زرت الحانات حتى أصبحت سكناي وكنت ألملم قطرات الخمر، كان صدى أصواتهم يلاحقني: عليك اللعنة يا زغفري... وكنت أقول لنفسي : مت أيها الفتى لعلك تحيا!! لكن ماذا أفعل بنفسي فنحن نستطيع أن نتجاوز الأشخاص ولكننا لا نستطيع أن نتجاوز المواقع التي خضنا بها معاركنا، نتعثر بالجروح التي أورثتناها الحروب والآلام لا تغادرنا مطلقا.
