My Writing
My relationship with Isaac

Thursday, 2nd March 2006

My first days in the Academy were difficult. I was a bit young for my peer group - just 18 when I was accepted to the Academy - and although I was able to keep up on an academic level, I often felt a bit left out once study time was over. I found myself drawn to the Academy library, burying myself in a mountain of words, looking for distraction to keep from becoming too very lonely.

This is where I met Isaac Cymbalisty. He was already on his way up through the mysterious hierarchy of the library by then, and he must have seen me a dozen times before he ever spoke to me. Then one day, he asked me what an awkward and horsey child like myself was doing in his library. I told him that it wasn't nice to call people names, particularly when one is as old and homely as he. I braced myself to be thrown out of the library, but instead, he about split his sides laughing.

This was the start of a long and meaningful friendship. He felt sorry for me at first, and began directing me to books he thought I might find interesting. Then he began directing me to people I might find interesting. Why, he even introduced me to my husband! He also encouraged me to push myself forward, and helped me to navigate the murky waters of academic ambition. I would not be where I am today without him.

Certainly, Isaac has always had his detractors. He was a man of earthy wit, and choosy with where he gave his friendship (though he did always have a soft spot for pretty girls). But he was also a tremendous lover of books and of knowledge, and he found great happiness in sharing the fruits of his work. He felt that guiding young minds toward the proper nourishment they needed to grow properly is one of the most important tasks one can take on.

I say all this to show you how well I knew Isaac. I can't think of anyone who knew him better. And no matter what the inquest says, he would never have contemplated suicide. Everything about it rings false to me. He was a stubborn man, and once said that suicide was like throwing away a book when you hadn't read the end. How can you resist seeing how it turns out, even if it is a tragedy? And Isaac's life was no tragedy! He loved the library. He felt a kind of paternal, proprietary affection for it - the buildings, the books, the librarians, all of it. Perhaps some people might see a life lived among books and centuries of scholarship as a tragedy but I don't, and I know Isaac didn't either. He loved his life. I know he did not choose to end it.

A grave injustice is being done here. A great man has been lost, and his death has been swept under the carpet. I can't let this lie unchallenged. I am going to find the truth. I am going to find his murderer.

there is also a "contact me" link now: anna.heathSPLATperplexcityacademy.com

Thank you for writing me! My schedule is a bit packed, so if your message was
purely informational, forgive me for not replying. If your message requires
a response, be assured I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Thanks!

Nothing too exciting sent...just offering our condolences upon the loss of her friend, an introduction, the fact that we've noted recent events of drug trafficking, violence and vandalism, that we agree with her on the subject of Cymbalisty's death (i.e. it's suspicious) and an offer to share resources in uncovering the truth. At the moment, I don't believe that we've got anything *more* than that to give her, even if we do decide that we want to share evidence with Anna.

Inexplicably, my first thought is of two flies on the wall:

A: "Ooooh, she's not is she?"
B: "She is. Look."
A: "Ooooh, is she?"
B: "That's what she said. She's going to find the truth, she says."
A: "I can't believe it."
B: "Find his murderer, she says. Goodness. Look at her with her uptight haircut."
A: "Like that one out of Desperate Housewives, I sort of think."
B: "I know. Blimey."
A: "She's not though, is she?"
B: "She says she is!"
A: "Gawd, now I've really seen it all, I tell ya."

Funny that.

My first thought (and I'm sure this exposes something of my cynical nature) was:

AFFAIR!

I'm not sure if this is relevent atm but it may be, I wouldn't have thought it would be there for no reason.

To inform her students that her extra study sessions have been moved to Tuesdays at 4pm, maybe? Assuming she does still have a real job besides all this crime-fighting, that is.
