Naissance Des Fantomes (Folio)

My husband has disappeared. He returned from work, placed his briefcase against the wall, and asked me if I had bought any bread. It must have been around half past seven. The faceless husband will not return. His wife will wait, and the waiting will erode everything, the disappearance will extend to her life, to the beings around the narrator, and also to her own body.

A ghost story that shakes many certainties. "Writing is being between two worlds, where nothing is certain but everything is possible, where fluids and sensations circulate."

The narrative voice describes the sudden and unexplained disappearance of her husband. Upon his return from work, he carried out his usual routine actions, unaware that this would be the last time she would see him. The author suggests that this disappearance will have a profound impact, not only on the wife but also on her entire world and even her own physicality.

This is presented as a ghost story, a tale of the unknown that challenges our sense of stability and certainty. The act of writing itself is likened to inhabiting a space between realities, where the fluid nature of sensations and possibilities prevails over the fixed and the definite.

The concise, almost minimalist style of the passage creates a sense of unease and mystery, inviting the reader to fill in the gaps and ponder the deeper implications of the husband's vanishing. The language is sparse yet evocative, hinting at the emotional turmoil and the existential questions that arise from this unexplained event.

By rearranging the sentence structure and maintaining the overall length, the revised text aims to enhance the reading experience, allowing the narrative to flow more smoothly and the ideas to resonate more powerfully with the audience. The focus remains on the haunting disappearance, the profound impact on the protagonist, and the exploration of the liminal space between reality and the unknown, where the act of writing itself becomes a metaphor for this elusive and transformative experience.
