    About this ebook

    Good Morning. I am Ania. I’m almost six years old, and I am no different than any other girl in my kindergarten. Almost, because today, I will tell you some story. A story about love. I know, you might be thinking that I am only a small girl, who do not know anything about it. Even more so about beauty, destiny, sins or loneliness. Yes, you are probably quite right. Six years old girls’ having blond hair with pigtails clipped in a ponytail, usually knows much more about the dresses for dolls rather than such matters. I agree, but it does not mean that this is the case. Anyway, I think that you also do not know much about it, even though you are an adult. And I doubt that I am incorrect. For sure, you do not have any knowledge about this, what you will read here in a moment. Even more so, because it is a true story about bad love.
    --
    Bad Love, a psychological novel about the most important things in life. About love, beauty, secrets, fate, sin, hope, evil, memories, time and loneliness. A fascinating story of a love that did happen one day. A universal story full of hidden meanings. A story that makes you come back to it, makes you think of yourself, your decisions and your life.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      I.

      Hi, my name is Ann. I’m almost six years old and I am a typical little girl. Well, not quite in fact, and the story I’m going to tell you will prove it. A love story.

      I know, you may say that I am just a little girl. A little girl who knows nothing about love. A little girl who knows nothing of beauty, fate, sins or loneliness. Yes, probably you’re right. Six-year-olds with shiny-fair pigtails usually know more about dolls’ clothing than about these adult things. True. But it doesn’t mean that it has to be like that this time. After all, I don’t think that being an adult makes you know much more about these things anyways. And I dare say that I am pretty much right.

      And I dare say that you know nothing about what you’re going to read here, even more so because this is a true story about bad love.

      II.

      You know, Daddy, when I grow up I’m going to become a writer. This is what I’ve decided. People become different people, don’t they? I mean, they stay who they were but what they do is different.

      But sometimes it is a different walk of life than the one they dreamed of said the girl’s father.

      Yes, I know, but sometimes it is exactly what they’ve dreamed of, isn’t it, Daddy?

      Uhmm.

      Mummy says that she wanted to become an engine driver. She wanted to drive huge locomotives. Almost as big as the other one.

      Which one?

      The one from the book we have in the kindergarten, I explained.

      And?

      Mummy didn’t become an engine driver. She didn’t even become a ticket inspector. She became a typist instead. And she can also sew clothes for my dolls.

      Yes, she can. I’ve seen the checked shorts she sewed for your teddy bear. said father.

      For Egon, I specified. I love when mummy sews, we can talk then. Once she said: I am very happy, even though I am not an engine driver. How come? I asked – You don’t do what you wanted to do. But I do., she whispered in my ear and winked. The locomotive is a noisy machine, a machine difficult to operate, exactly like the sewing machine. So I do operate a noisy and complicated machine. Maybe, I said, without a conviction and added, I am going to be a woman writer. A fire fighter? was mummy’s surprising answer. You need to know, Daddy, that mum’s ears are getting worse and worse. It’s probably because of the noise the sewing machine and the typewriter make. Sometimes you need to say something twice before she is able to hear what you said. No, Mummy. A woman writer. I repeated – That means
