I’m a child.

My mother and I stand at the entry of a church.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 3
A man arrives, he’s a former boyfriend of my mother.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 4
We are walking in the city.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 5
We are entering in a parking. I approach the man that I vaguely recognize
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 6
I am sure now that this man sexually abused me in the past. I tell him : "I recognize you, I know it is you."
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 7
He does not answer and sits in front of the wheel of his car. My mother sits next to him, me, behind.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 8
On the rear seat, a newspaper, "Le Soir", is folded so that I can see an article.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 9
I superficially read it : it talks about a sex scandal in which the man is involved.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 10
We arrive in the center.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 11
We are walking into a shopping street. I say to my mother that his former companion raped me.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 12
She gets angry and forbids me to say such things.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 13
I flee and reach the public toilets.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 14
The toilets doors are locked.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 15
My mother and his former companion find me. She ask me to follow her.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 16
I notice a newspaper on a table of a coffee terrace. I take it.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 17
We meet again next in a traversed park of avenues. The man walks a little more far in front of my mother and me.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 18
I try to convince my mother that this man did me some harm.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 19
I speak to her as an adult. I show her the newspaper article.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 20
She begins doubting and ends up to speak to the man. he is ashamed and says nothing.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 21
I approach him. I say to him that I am not really a child, that I am in fact 37-year-old and that I came back under this appearance because I wanted "the things to said".
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 22
He is extremely confused.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 23
We go back to the car. My mother is upset and the man still shameful and mute.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 24
I come up to the rear seat, the car door is still opened and the man comes and gives me his hand like he would beg my forgivness. I give him mine.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 25
He seats on the driver place. My mother is still outside.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 26
I ask the man in which year we are living. He says : "1974". I say : "Then I am 5-year-old."
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 27
My mother enters in the car and seats next to me. I say : "I maybe will fall asleep and, when I’ll wake up, I will turn back to a normal little boy again."
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 28
The car starts up and I awaken.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 29
Next I dwell on the dream, Inote it down and I say to myself that the year is the right one : in 1974, I was 5 years old.
- Shame [november the 8th dream]- page 30
Except that this is not the man who abused me.(the end)
