      Alone and abandoned

      We believe that we have experiences, but experiences make us.

      (Eugène Ionesco)

      Cassian Richard was sitting in a chair watching TV. An empty bottle of brandy was standing next to him on the coffee table. It was the morning at 06.30 o’clock. The TV was off. It had not been on all night.

      Cassian was stone cold sober.

      Although he had not slept the night and the bottle of cognac in the evening was full like before. He just sat in the armchair in which he had set yesterday evening.

      His thoughts were circling. They circled only around one thing. Melanie, his wife had left him. Just like that, after six years.

      Cassian reminded again and again to the elapsed time; the coming together for the very first time; when they start living together. She worked as a surgical nurse in a local hospital. He studied law. He remembers the years together. And as half a year ago Cassian’s father died, she had stood on his side. His thoughts wandered. His father had supported him financially, during the entire study. He was close to the exam, only remaining four months.

      After his death, Melanie had borne the financial onus. His mother had only a small widow's pension. And now Melanie had disappeared with her boyfriend and the brand new Golf. 

      She had covered the bank account on the highest level. Cassian could not withdraw a penny more and could not pay the rent; about 9.00 o’ clock the telephone rang.  

      Hello, who's there?

      Cassian had not understood the name.

      This is Caroline. You are Cassian, aren’t you?

      Cassian thought. Then it occurred to him again. Caroline was Melanie’s work colleague.

      Yes, Hi Caroline, I am Cassian.

      What I wanted to tell you is that Melanie is gone with Ronny to Ibiza. She has taken two months unpaid leave. I'm really sorry. You were both such a beautiful couple.

      She was silent.

      Yes, thank you Caroline." He hung up.

      His next thought: How will he be able to pay the monthly rates for the car further? He had no in-come.

      And then his vocal tics blew.

      Fuuuuubbgdmuuuhdi, he cried all of his guilt and innocence out of himself. His head jerked in more and more extreme angles, as if he does not belong to him. His spine would not survive for long. Cassian has Tourette. How many times in the last hours he had wondered whether this was the reason that Corinne had left him.

      However in this respect he got no response. She had never mentioned it. And it was never so bad in recent years, as since yesterday. And the tics and compulsions were increasing per hour.

      She had slept with him yesterday evening. He could not believe at all. Since weeks she has a relationship with a guy named Ronny. Was it yesterday only a farewell, the last peak?

      Cassian began to see his happy marriage in the recent years in a very different perspective.

      He remembered that he had several times received so stupid phone calls. Whether he knew what his wife did at all and so on.

      Melanie had dismissed the fact that there were many envious people in hospital who begrudged them their happiness. He had believed her. He loved her above all else.

      Also, as she has to go to Königstein in a private clinic for treatment, he had believed her. She said her drug use because of their migraines had become too strong, that they would have to make a withdrawal.

      Only in recent days Cassian had learned that the hospital administration was then determined against persons unknown because more morphine ampoules were gone. The two-week separation at that time had already overwhelmed him very much. 

      He missed her. And no matter what everything else had happened, the more he missed her today. He did not understand anything at all.

      She had never spoken to him about their problems. It was always all peace and joy.

      Muuudddddiiigguuh. Cassian Richard stands up. It is 10.00 o’clock in the morning. He does not go into the bathroom for a shower. He does not have breakfast. He leaves the house to the nearest supermarket and gets for the rest of his money a new bottle of cognac; in any case, the cheapest bottle.
