The Shady Lizard and the Woman
It is my ambition to say in ten sentences
what others say in a whole book.
—Friedrich Nietzsche
It’s more than difficult to get this all
down on paper, because I want it to be authentic. I wish to rationally sense
life as Mary experienced it with her ‘lounge room lizard’. All the names of the
characters, the establishments, and the places have been changed. The story is
fictional, but it contains ideas based on real events.
There is merely one problem! How to tell
it in ten sentences? It can’t be told in a few words. Sorry, friends! However,
ten sentences might be easy to read. So, let’s jump to it. A wise man once
wrote, ‘Screw it.
Let’s do it.’1 So I did it! In my new
process of life, I can add one more quote by the same man: ‘Do not be
embarrassed by your failures. Learn from them and start again.’ Thank you for
the push. It gave me a new beginning.
Living near the beach and walking it day
and night, is my dream.
Falling peacefully asleep with the
windows open to the gentle sound of the waves crashing on the beach. Letting
the blue moonlight shine through the window and watching the
glittering stars in the clear night sky, while relaxing in my bed. My decision
to finish the story began when I moved into my new apartment, in the first row
of homes facing the impressive sea of the English Channel. It provides a
striking view from the vast balcony and is barely fifty metres from the dark
blue sea and the golden sand, presenting its many small colourful typical
British beach huts. Each hut has its own precise shade ranging from burnished
orange to icy blue, to depict a ‘sunrise to sunset’ scheme.
The first night is wonderful peaceful and
as I wake up to a warm August summer morning on the south coast of the United
Kingdom.
The Sun is shining through my window as
it awakens me at ten o’clock in the morning, while I’m still resting in my
silky white sheets, warmly tucked around my naked body, and stretching my limbs
as a lazy cat, because I have no desire to get up. After rubbing my eyes, I sit
upon my bed to let the blood flow through all my veins, and I look around in
the room in confusion. Oh, my goodness! Boxes in every corner. The balcony door
is open, and I sense a pleasant fresh and cool sea breeze sneaks into the room,
while I’m listening to the sound of the crashing waves reaching my inner ear
with a pleasing calmness, and I think, Why not?
Leave the boxes and start writing a new
book or finish the other ones I’m working on. I know my life is rather unreal,
because I was heartbroken for a long time, and have not had the time or psyche
to finish them. Being loved one day and completely upset the next turned my
life drastically upside down. The man I love often tells me, ‘Trust me. I love
only you. We are meant to be’ or ‘We will be together for the rest of our
lives’. I’m devastated because it’s not as he promised. It’s all a lie! The many
red flags slipped past my attention about him being a dangerous person. It’s
difficult to imagine and comprehend if I’m going to have a life without him,
because he is the best thing that I believe has happened to me. Too late, I
figured out the meaning of the phrase
‘lounge room lizard’, but I believed him
and trusted him with my life.
That could be the biggest mistake I ever
made in my life, pondering if he behaves like this to every woman he meets on
his path. What gruesome things will I eventually be able to reveal?
Why is it so important to use the
expression ‘lounge room lizard’?
This expression is usually a reference to
lounge musicians, but most often in a negative sense. Such a person has the
character of a medieval, ordinary man, who looks charmingly good, and resembles
a dehydrated, oppressed lizard, which romantically is involved with a wealthy
woman.
He is typically shown as a well-dressed
man and frequents surroundings where the rich and famous gather. He is the type
of man who will seduce a wealthy woman with his flattery and deceptive charm.
Oh, golly gosh! Do you believe it? He has so much charisma and is extremely
convincing and pretends to be a first-class trustworthy charming person. I have
never met any person so full of good ideas as his. It’s amazing how the chap
can captivate people in front of an assembly, by being so enchanting with his
skills and high energy.
Trust me!
Those were the main words during our time
together. Later, various problems began to arise, with his many calculating
plans, when his professional approach or his projects usually started to awaken
a great deal of speculation—though often, it was too late to see through the
disguise. So, did I do all my research too late? Was I excruciatingly conned,
because I loved him blindly? A Russian proverb says, ‘Love is evil. You can
fall in love with a goat.’ In other words, love is so blind, and the pretty
headless chick becomes blinded.
The phrase ‘lizard’ presumably relates to
the cold and insinuating quality of the reptile. It has sharp claws like an
eagle, which is unscrupulous when snatching the next victim. It’s usually a
distressed woman, whom he wants to lure into marriage, and maybe Mary was such
a sorrowful pretty little doll. He eagerly tries at the early stage to seek
some benefit from her, because he never married the previous one. Will he
succeed? The woman usually has valuable possessions and money that the lizard
man can profit from, and the more naive, unhappy, and helpless she is, the
better for him. Then he strikes with his nasty sharp claws into her
vulnerability and misuses her to the last drop, without any empathy or remorse.
He chillingly torments her until she is severely wounded, like a helpless
animal lying in the gutter, abandoned and helpless in its misery! Why does such
a person so? Will she discover if he is a maliciously cunning
narcissistic artist, an evil psychopath? A bloodsucking leech who sucks the
last blood out of others. Has he done so through his entire life? Some say he
is a person who completely lack of self-discipline and respect for obligations,
rules, and social norms. Others say his speech patterns are repeated lies, with
mood swings that are almost impossible to see through. Though, Mary trust this
stunning man, even she sometimes sees that he has the flawless ability to bend
the facts, and often he says it always someone else’s fault. That is his best
play, so no matter what, that’s how it’s done.
It’s never his fault!
