Sasha J.M. - The Grasshopper

She went to the kitchen and took the largest knife.

Pascal got off the elevator in the lobby of the television station building. He approached the inspectors.

“Where are you going, Mr. Alexander?” the captain asked him. “The mayor still hasn’t returned. You know his orders.”

“That’s not important. I am your President. Take me to the square,” Pascal said.

“Yes, sir, Mr. President!”

Manami went to couch and knelt on it. She bound her knees with the black rose and raised the knife.

The first bloody tears ran down her face and dripped onto the gold kimono.

And with her beautiful eyes she was looking at Pascal’s image.

“My love,” she said, and slit her throat with one powerful cut.

Pascal, accompanied by the inspectors, came out through the large doors of the television station building and stepped out onto the top of a large granite staircase.

A whisper spread through the square. “Pascal… Pascal…”

Some people remained standing. Some fell to their knees.

But everyone’s hands were reaching out to Pascal.
