Volim ya neid alyo quem pites gwive quo sielcskwit me per se. Ma buit to tem difficil ? Kay narre mien storia, dehlgo inkape dalgtos prever. Dehlgiem, sei to mi esiet possible, lites dar dalger retro, tiel do ia quantenprest yars os mieno miegve ed dar trans ia do id piern os mien origin. Autors, quando scribent romans, pliehge to kamsei esient Div ed ghehdient uperspehce ed ghabe cada menscenstoria ed represente id kamsei Div sibswo id narriet, aun vasya kehlders, samt essential quantloc. To khako io, tem pau quem autors to ghehdent. Mien storia est mi importanter quem qualgvonc autor id elso ; idghi est id wi mien, ed id est id storia unios mensc ne uns exmohnen, uns possible, uns ideal au sonst-ye ne existant, sontern uns real, unique, gwiv mensc. Quo to est, un real-ye gwiv mensc, est woiden nundiens aundwoi minter quem aiwo, edghi mensci bihnt menegh-ye gvohnt, ex qui ielg est un kamatih, unique test ios Nature. Sei ne esiemos dar meis quem unique mensci, tun ghehdiet druve-ye ielg ex nos bihe kastert ex id mund, narre storias neti habiet sense. Ielg mensc est lakin-ye ne tik elswo, el est elschi unique, alnos particular, in cada fall important ed skaun point, quer ia phenomens ios mund crucent mutu, tik oins ed naiweti. Itak est id storia ielgs mensc important, abadic, divin, itak est ielg mensc, tan el gwivt kamkwe ed parkwehrt id vol ios Nature, daumost ed el stahalt cada attention. In ielg hat id ansu wardht, in ielg paytt gohnos, in ielg biht crucificten un Redemptor. Pauks woid nundiens quo est el mensc. Maungs kheisse id ed mehre po to meis facil-ye, kam ego mehrsiem meis facil-ye, kun habsiem parscript tod storia. Ne poitto me kale mualim. Eem un sokar ed som dar oin, bet neti paursko bayna ia stars ni in buks, bikleum ia talims qua mien sehrg murmuret in me. Mien storia ne est amat, ne est swadh ed harmonieus kam ia exmohnta storias, id smehct non-sense ed confusion, follia ed sogno kam id gwit vasyen menscen qui sib neti leughskwnt. Id gwit ielgs mensc est un wegho kye seswo, id peiten uns wegh, id suggestion uns paund. Nel mensc hat aiw esen alnos elswo; ielg trendt lakin bihe el, uter

kyopev-ye, alter meis facil-ye, ielgis kam el ghehdt. Ielg behrt etiloikwa sienios gnahsa, gloiwos ed oivkiauts uns ormund, bi se tiel id fin. Maungis naiwo biht menscis, remant batrac, remant sinsar, remant murm. Maungis est ub mensc ed ghom pisk. Bet ielg est un kumar ios Nature kyel mensc. Nos quantims sont ia origins commun, ias maters, wey quanti gwehmmos ex id sam guragh ; bet ielg trendt, un test ed un kumar ex ia dubes, kye sien wi ziel. Ghehdmos prete mutu ; bet interprete ghehdt tik ielg sibwo. Dwo munds Inkapo mien storia med un gwivmen ios zaman kun eem decat ed eegwahm id latinscol os noster smulk urb. Maung suaodet kyant me ed me emovt intos med gvol ed karime vehrsa, deuska gatvas ed kweiter doms ed tors, horlogen frids ed leuden liges, kyals plena med comfort ed warmo khauristat, kyals plena med rouna ed profund kabuspaur. Ter odent warm kantun, cuincules ed slougas, woikproducts ed oschaf. Dwo munds drahr ter per mutu, ex dwo poles gwohm dien ed noct. Uter mund eet id paterdom, bet id eet hatta dar angher, id ghi compris tik mien parents. Tod mundo mi eet mierdeils-ye suagnoht, ids nam eet dadmam, liubh ed strehngia, exemplaritat ed scol. Tod mund eet bayght ab mild arg, clartat ed kiestia, her eent mliak maedwn tolks, laven hands, kiest vesters, prabh mores hemi. Her eet id aghyern khoral sohngven, her eet Natal celebren. In tod mund eent rect lignes ed weghs qua duxeer do future, eent dohlg ed skult, khak conscience ed confession, indeulgen ed sell intentions, liubh ed dyinst, Bible werds ed mensdeh. Anghen dohlg dare tod mund kay id gwit buit clar ed pur, bell ed suart. Alter mund yed inkiep ja medsu nies wi dom ed eet alnos alyum, odit als, bahsit als, promiss ed kup als. In tod dwoter mund eent slougas ed kerdosgasalls, kabusstorias ed scandal rumors, ter eet un pulpoik flutt om immense, attractive, dekhschatic, enigmatic jects, kam mazbakh ed prison, drehnkniks ed creischend gvibhs, kyueihnd gwows, volvihn ekwi, narns om enbrehgens, nergvons, suicides. Quant ta bell ed terrible, wild ed cruel jects wohs hol perambh, in id niebst gatva, in id niebsto dom, police agents ed vagabonds drahr perambh.

Yando io wois : mien ziel in gwit eet, bihe tem quem mien pater ed mien mater, tem clar ed pur, tem superior ed suart; bet tetro eet id itner wayt, tetro dohlg ses perikwohlen in scols ed studyen, ed examens ed imtihans dohlg ses kamyaben, ed id itner lit semper pri alter sombrer mund, peritohr id, ed eet hatta possible, od anghen mien in id ed se forsohnk. Eent storias lusten sons quibs it eet wakyen, qua io hieb list passion-ye.

Bet sieyg i leuds to ne ni mohn to. Tik to existit, ka presumption ed possibilitat, baygh ghom ka khisses. Quando fikrim iom Diabel, io ghohd imagine iom niter in id strad, desguiset au ouvert-ye, we in id yarmerc, we in un creschma, bet naiw in nies hem. Mien swesters bieygheer kathalika id clar mund.

Ya, druv ed hakike, sigwrim io chiaujaen-ye, menxu io pnohg inner-ye ob paur. Ghehds tu kassame ? Io hieb maung dekhschat, bet io sieyg fauran ya. Tun sayg : per Div ed furkan !

 Ne maung. Dehlgo just budes dar semject ud te. Alters ne wane aure to. Tun ? Quod tehrbo io tib dar sayge ? Dehlgo ubdrabs, woidst tu. Yed woidst, sieyg Franz khafi-ye, quom id hortghehrd nieb id wangwlmolin baygh ? No, io ne woid. Credeihm, iom moliner. Franz me hieb oisbohndto med sien brakh ed me traxit taiper alnos claus se, kay io dohlg spehce eys lige prokwemst-ye. Eys okwi eent khiter, is oismih khabisye ed eys lige eet pleno med crueltat ed magh. Ya, mien pwarn, ghehdo tib ja sayge quom id garden bayght. Io woid ja diutos, od ia apels sont klohpten, ed io woid odschi is wir hat sayct is dahiet dwo marks tal quel ghehdt ei sayge quel hat klohpten ia fruits. Yallah ! exclamim io.

De ta jects eent i leuds ex alter mundo ne kam wey. Neid sayge ? glih Kromer. Kyar prient, mayns tu som un contrafactor om denars, od ghehdo miswo makhe piengs om dwo marks ? Som un orm karl, ne ho un riche pater kam tu, ed sei dehlgo gaines dwo marks, io dehlgo gaines ia. Kad is daht hatta meis. Is me slu stayg. Nies vestibule neti odit pace ni securitat, id mund collieb ambh me. Is me denuncyiet, eem un criminal, to esiet sayct ei pater, kad id police hatta gwehmiet. Vasya chaos dekhschats me tohrg, quant biaur ed dangereus eet kyuken contra me. Od io hieb nel-ye klohpt eet alnos aun importance. Eti hieb io kassamen. Oh yallah ! Dakrus oistigh do mien okwi.

Poitts habe id, est ex argwrnt ed id wehrg est gohd, id hat tik oin lytil defect, id dehlct ses reparet. Is oismihsit ed ghens id saat in sien plaut hand. Io spohc tod hand ed khiss, kam rauk ed profund-ye hostil mi id eet, kam maung id grisp mien gwit ed pace.

Siem kwehre quodkwe ! Is me scrutit med sien angh okwi ed iter glih. Sdi ghi ne stupid ! sieyg is med flas dabronia. Woidst tem relevant-ye quem ego. Magho gaines dwo marks, ed ne som un riche wie, ne magho rejece ia, to woidst tu. Tu de es riche, has hatta un saat. Tehrps mi tik dahe ia dwo marks, tun est quant gohd. Io ghieb id logique. Bet dwo marks ! To eet pro me tem maung ed nenakim quem dec, quem cent, quem mil marks. Io hieb nia denars.

Bet ne ho sem, dako naiwo denars. Ne ghehdo jec de to ! Tun bringhs tu mi cras ia dwo marks. Skehpto pos id scol ghom in id mercat. Eno. Sei ne bringhs ia denars, tun tu sies vide !

Son kafi denars in tien dom. To est tien kaur. Also cras pos id scol. Ed tib saygo : sei tu ne bringhs ia. Is glaz dekhschatic-ye do mien okwi, spiu ois meis ed disparih kam un skadh.

Quayt secrets hieb io ja habt, quayt anxietat, bet to hol hieb est leik ed glewos comparen ad quo io brigh hoyd con me do ta kyals.

Kweter mien crime eet un klehpt au un leugh (ne hieb io dreughkassamen ant Div ed furkan ?) eet irrelevant. Mien synto ne eet to au cio, mien synt eet od io hieb dahno mien had ei Diabel. Ma me hieb io foragen ? Ma hieb io obedihn iom Kromer, gohder quem aiwo mien pater ? Ma mi hieb io udlughen id storia cios klehpt ? Gvrenduen de un crime, kamsei id esiet wehrg neren ? Taiper dohrj is Diabel mien hand, taiper eet is peindo za me. Unte un instant io neti khiss baysa dia cras, sontern hassa id terrible yakinia, od mien itner leitiet semper niter ed do temos.
