April 10th.
JJ is sleeping by my
side, it's late night and I have a low light
to read. We sleep up in the attic, it's
nice here, it's usually the library but for
the moment it's my bedroom, we have a nice mattress
on the floor, and I placed photos on the walls,
including the poster where I'm prominent. It's
nice to see myself there, but at the same time
it's very estrange, like it's not me.
Tomorrow we're going
to Paris and then off to tour Europe, we have
some meetings in Germany and later in Italy.
Life with JJ is exciting.
We had so much fun
when he made me play the saint in the woods.
After I whipped him
he jumped down and told me... "Now you are in
trouble".
When we went to shoot
the video in the woods I was a bit apprehensive.
The place was empty
and it was cool, windy ... winter was still
lingering. He showed me the tree he selected,
actually it was two trunks forming a V, I was
going to be placed there, whipped and shot with
arrows.
The story is like this.
The victim, me, is dragged to the forest
to be executed. I'll tell the story in
first person, the way I felt it.
The executioner drags
me through the forest, a thick forest, my rags
get stuck on branches along the way. I'm
barefoot so the rocks and thorns hurt my feet,
I walk slowly, pulled by the rope attached to
my wrists. After what looked like a forever
walk we reach the site of my execution.
I see it's a tree with
two thick branches forming a V
I'm dragged to the
the V, at first I face the trunks but suddenly
the executioner turns me violently around, I
face him now. I'm afraid.
He grabs the ropes
and unties me. I'm afraid, so I don't
move, I try to look into his eyes but he
doesn't allow it. He grabs my wrist and
pulls my arm to one of the trunks. He's
not holding a rope, just my hand, I wonder
how he's going to fasten me to the tree. Then
I notice, on the back of the tree trunk there's
a cut branch sticking out like a knife. He
opens the palm of my hand, places the sharp
point of the stick in the middle of my hand,
I look at him almost doubting what I think is
going to happen.
Suddenly a pain, a
paralysing pain shot up my body as he very quickly
pushes my hand and impales it with the sharp
stick. I can hardly realize what's happening
when he takes my other hand and pulling me,
stretching my arms in a cross, impales it as
well. A black cloud covers my eyes. I
feel no more, but I'm taken back to reality
when my foot is impaled on another spike and
then my other foot, on top. Now I can't
go away into darkness... the pain is too overpowering.
