Profile: Julia
She is a phantasm that continues to inhabit his past - a clutch of memories
never to be
forgotten. When she appears before him, the world he had believed to
be reality begins
to shift towards the illusory.
The illusion named Julia - her of unclear providence, unknown age.
HER TEARS, HER SMILE,
her perfume never had he considered the possibility of their loss -
all slip away into the recesses
of memory.
All he remembers for certain is her name, and nothing more; even that
may prove
to be just a figment, another phantasm. But for the moment he can not
be sure.
A WOMAN,
who disappeared on that rainy; a betrayal, by the friend he considered
a brother in arms; and flight,
away from the organization that had raised and nurtured him - by thus
destroying his own
past and her ghostly phantasm, he 'died' a first death and was reborn
anew.
YET HE SUBCONSCIOUSLY
continued to seek this truth, which he had supposedly destroyed and
had vanished beyond the limits
of his memory.
For it is this very phantasm that defines the reality he lost, is his
anima and his sole
embodiment of a woman.
And once again, on another rainy afternoon, in that selfsame place,
he will face his destiny.
