Skeletons

by Roman Melnyk 

- Hm. Mister skeleton! Can I call you mister? Sorry, but I really don’t know how to communicate with you.- Just call me Skelly, I like this name. I’ve never heard it before but it doesn’t matter.
- Skelly, tel me please how old are you and how close are you linked with Roman?
- Actually I am a part of his consciousness, a life story, ideas of entire him, including all his misfortunes and unfortunately stories, irresponsibly the fact I live in a cupboard-shaped metaphor, as you mentioned in the title of this interview. I feel quite comfortable here, because when you feel the power, real power, then you don’t need any throne, any palace or glory.
- Oh mean, your current position is up to you? No desire to change something?
- Why? I rule him, and my transcend friend Skelly rules by you!
- Please do not touch my private consciousness! A-a-a-a-a! I feel scary. Do not make my skeleton leave my cupboard. I feel awkward and clumsy at his presence.
- That is why I’m so pleased and need no redemption, savvy?
- Totally mister Skelly. Let’s come back to our key figure, Roman. Can you describe yourself in order to see better his fears?
- Okay, Jimmy, listen carefully to me and daze at my skull. Five years of studies both at the college and at the university in Kyiv made my facial expression more curved and clear. This ugly smile tightly corresponds with his self-admiration and self-abstraction. Indeed it happens not often, but it has a trend for expanding that is progressing.
- You wanna say Roman hides his snobbish or egoistic hatred to some people, who cannot meet with his expectations?
- Exactly! You got my sense of conversation. Go on following me.
- What is your attitude towards Roman’s new options on your body, on you skeleton, I mean? Do you feel okay when he is changing? As I understood, every change in his life and especially character directly influences you.
- I am only getting stronger and stronger, because each year, even each day, If you want, he collects more and more features, he shouldn’t tell somebody. I can easily remember all his words and SMS he was writing to his previous girl-friends, because he has a nice memory, that equals I have a nice memory. I should admit, that I am a chief of his past, I am the main in his hidden archives, access to which is open only for me.
- So, if you have all the keys into your pocket considering the fact you are not really existing materially, why should Roman be afraid of you? How can you benefit from you power?
- Fine question. I usually think over it by myself and I found at least one way.
- Can you share it with me?
- Of course. There is nothing secret. I can just put accidentlly away my leg from a cupboard right at the moment when for instance there are a lot of guests and serious dangerous people. Then everyone will have a possibility to see and even touch my leg, and perhaps some other parts of me. That will be a great discomfort for Roman and a 15 minutes of fame and glory for me.
- When describing clumsy putting a leg out of the cupboard you meant a metaphor I suppose?
- Of course, Jimmy! Eventually I am Roman and the metaphor is an integral part of him that is of me too.
- Fascinating! Bye!
