Trial (5)
Danker was in tears.
Fearing that his wife was dead, he called her name.
What did you do to her? Someone cried angrily. She is dead!
Yes! Yes! Came other voices. He has failed the examination. - Put him to the back of the class.
It is true, said an inner voice. Every man kills the thing he loves.
In the depths of his disorientation and despair, the thought dawned on Danker. – Had he in fact killed her? He could not believe it. It was such a terrible idea. And yet it seemed true. He was appalled at himself.
He broke down. Please, he said. I have done no wrong. I will tell you everything you want to know.
