Adam Resurrected Page #7

I am part of you.

Me you brought with you from Berlin.

Me you brought with you on the boat.

Me you carried into the desert

in your suitcase.

Adam.

Adam.

What are you looking for, Adam?

Try and find her.

Ruthie?

You weren't much help to them,

were you?

Your wife and daughters.

I do not need you anymore.

It is only you and me.

We're one and the same.

Adam.

We have unfinished business.

Isn't it time for the curtain to come down?

Hasn't Adam's circus gone on long enough?

Now do it!

Do it.

Do it.

And you'll be rid of me.

It's the only way.

Do it.

Nein.

It is not.

I thought you left me.

I was here all the time.

You went away.

I'm back.

Rebecca Seizling's Institute

continues as before.

For Rachel Schwester, for Arthur,

and for the rest,

life goes on.

Abe Wolfowitz, his prophecy,

however, did come true.

He died in his sleep

on the very night that he had predicted.

In the years since I left the Institute,

Gina Grey has not come once to Tel Aviv

for the visit.

The moment I recovered,

Adam Stein was, for her, buried.

Dr. Nathan Gross,

who had absolute faith in my recovery,

him I will miss.

David was released that winter

into the custody of a relative.

Gross has assured me that this relative

is the upstanding citizen,

the family man,

someone who can give the boy

the life that I cannot.

I miss him, my Davey.

He writes to me.

I follow his progress,

and I will visit him soon.

But he has a life now,

his own life,

and a home in which to grow up.

As for me, I have become...

the ordinary man.

I returned to Ruth Edelson's pension.

I could no longer give myself diseases

nor bring about my own end.

I no longer carry Klein inside me.

I live in a lovely valley,

but the heights are gone forever.

There are no more frightful deserts,

and I no longer leap into the fire.

I am afraid that I will get burned.

Sanity is pleasant and calm,

but there is no greatness,

no true joy,

nor the awful sorrow

that slashes the heart.
