The Fool

Mia Arderne

Sure as I am about what needs to be done, I feel my hands trembling.

‘I’d like to pursue criminal charges against one Junaid Jafda, as provided for in terms of The Protection from Harassment Act. I want to launch an application to the High Court in order to obtain an interdict against the aforesaid.’

The attorney raises an eyebrow at me. Did I use too much jargon? Did I stutter? Can I be blamed for knowing my shit? He takes a form from his desk drawer and puts on his glasses. Designer spectacles, tweaked to fit the nose on his face.

‘Have a seat, ma’am. You will need to provide a list of this man’s offences. What has he done? Be as specific as you can.’

As I speak, the attorney scribbles shorthand on the page and fixes me with an impassive stare. He has that sickeningly clinical air of a rich and busy adult.
