The Ghost Page #5

It is my decision

and only I must answer for it.

You can do it, when you want to.

Done eating?

Listen.

If you let me go, I'll disappear.

Nobody will ever know anything,

I will never tell anybody anything.

I swear to you.

Why should you live?

After all, I have a son...

I have Vika.

And why would they need you?

Is it better to live like you,

all alone?

People are always alone.

And most of all they hate those,

who are close to them.

Sorry.

Here they are, your people.

"Boys stab their friend to death

over a bicycle."

Here's another good one.

"A college student throws her

newborn baby down a garbage shaft."

How do you like this one?

"A father rapes his daughter for many years,

the mother knew, but said nothing."

You better tell us how it's possible to put your own son into an insane asylum?

Shut your mouth.

Why don't you write about that?

You've experienced it on the inside.

I...

I used to drink a lot. Before...

Pasha was born...

with severe problems.

Wife immediately left, and I...

I took him home...

I thought I could manage with him.

It was then

I was finishing the first book.

He...

He must have been in a lot of pain...

He screamed all the time...

And I can not have

someone else there, when I...

All these pills, all these drugs...

nothing was helping.

I love him, but I...

I had to write.

At the boarding school...

there are at least doctors there.

It was better for him there...

I just decided that it will be better for him there...

It is better for you.

You do not love anyone, writer.

Everyone is like that.

You...

Don't judge everyone according to yourself.

I do not judge according to myself.

I am no judge.

Who are you?

You think it up.

You're a writer after all.

Are you a moral monster.

That is what you are.

Yeah, put me into an insane asylum,

as you had done with your son.

There's a storyline for you.

Wash up.

What's stinking so?

A dead body.

I'm waiting for the ending.

Not funny.

You can not leave anyone behind.

Or they will find you.

Sooner or later they'll find you.

If you do not destroy yourself,

you will surely be destroyed by someone else.

No other options.

Not too much salt?

Try it.

Samuel Colt once said that it's not the weapon

that kills, but the man.

I'm ready to sign my name

under every single word of that quote.

The End.

This is it.

Sign here.

As a ghost he lived,

as a ghost he died.

Here.

So you were just writing a book?

Oh, God...

Who brought me here?

Nothing else worries you?

Because of your scribblings

people have died.

I did not want that.

"Did not want..."

To be honest, I also did not want the criminal charges against you to be dropped.

But from a conspirator

you turned into a hostage.

Alright, anyways...

Inside the house

a burned corpse was found.

The prosecution has no charges against you.

The case is closed.

Keep writing your books.

Enjoy life.

That is, of course,

if your conscience allows you to.

I still do not understand,

why he did not shoot you dead.

Dad, now you walk like me?

Yes, Pasha, just like you.

So, shall we go?

- Bye, Dad.

- Bye, warrior.

We'll come tomorrow.
