Tornade [France, TD-10]
Guillotine — “I just want to create a complete picture. My father always told me: finish what you start. Complete the painting, finish the line. At that moment, you live within the boundaries of a single idea, a single work, and nothing else exists outside of it until you finish.
Or until you stop. And no, my father would say, there is nothing worse than the feeling of leaving something only half-finished. It’s ironic, of course, coming from a man who himself dropped out of university a year before graduating, but there were reasons for that. And we’ll leave those out of the equation. Or perhaps it was precisely because of that unfinished business that he became such a devoted follower of the principle I’m writing about now. Why am I telling you all this? Our new commander is named Sanson. True, he’s Charles-Michel rather than Charles-Henri, but the resemblance is almost complete. So… Every master needs the right tool for the job, whatever that job may be. And every Sanson needs his own guillotine. Because in our profession, there can be no unfinished business.”
