Paul Portier's Ordinary State of Mind

- I've found a contact number to an exorcist- said Paolo O. Martin aka Paul Portier crawling into the corridor like a tank wearing a long black coat in the middle of mysterious night. Mr Charming interrupted his usual deal of a chicken curry gazing with an expectation. Paolo O. Martin, also well known as Paul Portier (especially to the very best friends but sometimes the lady at the vegetable stand said so as well)released himself from the coat and slowly reached inside his pocket to show us a small piece of paper a little bit torn on the corners.
- An absolute genius in his profession, doctor exorcist will help you out to get rid of all of your demons forever- read solemnly, putting his voice onto the highest level of celebration. The wink of a light was flashing in the darkness like a candle.- His magnificent abilities will help you deal with a large field of problems such as the follwoing. Paolo O. Martin also known as Paul Portier (as I just remembered also one nurse in the hospital where he landed with a broken leg last year used to call him this name) sought gently and continued reading.
- Reemition, resurrection, possession, seduction, drug addiction, convolution, convulsion, eruption, misleading, misunderstanding, mistreatmend, demention, dimension, abbreviation, emmigration, reviving, deciding, depression, direction, self safety, car insurance, wordiness, meaningfulness, readiness, literacy, automacy, disconnection, detection, self pity, serendipity, masochism, sarcasm, trinity, duality, multiplication, personality, diversity, variation, masturbation, waste collection, self disposal, suicidal thoughts, marriage problems, violation, degradation, evanescence, willingness, performance, transition, transcription, translation, transportation, rejection, self motivation, confidence, question, unemployment, bank loan, credit cards, sim cards, eternity, toxity, bruxism, eventualism, society...

- What the heck is 'eventualism'?- interrupted Vincenzo with a rave. - Well, I guess it must be some esoteric term- said Paolo O. Martion aka Paul Portier without a real conviction. 
 - Such as 'car insurance'?- asked Mr Charming who probably stopped listening exactly at that point.
 - I'm more than sure it's a metaphor!- Paolo sought trying to find a support on a piece of paper with a sharp print on.
 - You know guys- said Mr Charming collecting his empty box from curry- after that I am really glad that our only issue is to repair a wash basin. Paolo reviewed once again the note he was holding.
- It doesn't say: wash basin.
 - Show me that- said Vincenzo, carefully studying the note.- No, indeed, it doesn't.

  2. It was never in the basement, she (as we concluded) lived upstairs. Looks like she moved out to Southampton with The Guy I Lived With. Double loss for any possible exorcist!
