What about you?

Les Mots-Fantômes du Passé Les mots sont des projectiles invisibles. Ils traversent l'espace, percent les défenses, se logent dans les chairs vives de l'identité.

Ces mots, je les avais sentis s'infiltrer sous ma peau, précis comme des aiguilles, délicats comme du verre brisé. Qui sont ces ''certains''? Me connaissent-il encore? Dix longues années ne sont pas une vulgaire parenthèse!
