المؤمن واللآلئ (قصّة قصيرة)

ملآى اللآلئ تتلألأ في إناءٍ تملؤه حبّات ملح خشنة تشعّ مثل مصابيح ضوئيّة صغيرة تشبه شريط الأضواء الذي نزيّن به شجرة عيد الميلاد. أخذت حبّات اللؤلؤ هذه، أو إن شئت حبّات الملح، تتضاءل كلّما سألتُ إنسانًا مؤمنًا أن يقرأ لي ما كُتب في تلك الرسائل الموضوعة تحت رفّ الكؤوس المملوءة بشراب الإكس-إل والموجودة في المطبخ. كان عدد الكؤوس مئةً أو مئتين، لا أذكر بالتحديد، لكنّني أخذت بالتثاؤب عندما بدأ المؤمن بالقراءة، على الرغم من محاولات عدّة في مقاومة النّعاس، لكنّ الأخير تغلّب عليّ وتحوّل كلّ ضوءٍ منعكس من حبّات اللؤلؤ إلى ضوئين، وأحسست بجسدي يتقلّص في العباءة التي غطّتني مثل تضاؤل حبّات اللؤلؤ، وتساءلت إن كان المؤمن يرى عبائتي كعبائتين مثلما رأيتُ أنا الضوء ضوئين، ولا أدري لماذا إشمأزّت نفسي لمجرّد التفكير في هذه المسألة، وأحسستُ بعبء الأضواء التي ملأت المكان، لكن على الرغم من كلّ ذلك إستطعتُ أن أنام بهدوءٍ تامّ.
