FRATERNITÉ / FRATERNITÉ, CONTE FANTASTIQUE

Once upon a time there was a world in which those we loved the most went missing.

Vanished without rhyme or reason.

Wounded were those who remained, amputated of their loved ones.

Care centres were established to treat people for a pain with no end in sight. These centres, which bore the name of Centres of Care and Consolation, would become places of utmost importance, where this community of emotional amputees came to reflect on and repair the world. And they would find joy there too, sometimes.

The years went by.

And the same question persisted: where were the Missing?

One day, a young man by the name of Saïd said :

“She’s there inside me. I carry my mother inside me.”
