Pričevalec
Butcher Davidović, head of all this ceremony, prepared everything very carefully, as if he was sorting the meat. He offered the knife to Handanovič - the son, and said: "Cut it off!" He pointed at the flabby genitals of his already undressed father.
"But, how I suppose to ... my father ..." stammered Handanovič - the son, and that was, although stammered, first and only dilemma of an overall national decay in the year 1992.
"OK. Might as well. Cut it him off," the butcher said to his assistants, with chetnik caps on.
"No, I'll do it!" sobbed Handanovič - the son.
He took the butcher's knife, approached his father and did it - the thing, which all Freud's theory on patricide is based on. Zilhad Ključanin
