I'm searching for a short story I read a long ago in a different language. It was listed as a story by Ray Bradbury, but I can't find it in his bibliography. I've checked every title, that is even remotely related to the plot, and couldn't find it. And the style is not exactly like his. It's very weirdly written, basically two pages story, divided to several very short chapters. The writing is very simple - short sentences, simple words.



It's about a man, who starts with thoughts about how words are useless, and music is one true thing, when it's without words. And how he wants to remove words from the world. He's a soloist, who works alone. With a knife. He removes words, tongues and keeps them in jars. He writes his confession to the police, because he's deaf. He put a metal wire through his ears, to stop the words and just listen to the music in his head.



I have it in different language, but I want to find the author and read the original.
The language I have it in is Bulgarian. The title is Instrumentalist. There's few translated "chapters"



DREAMWALKING



I have not slept for years. When I go to bed - never before dawn - I remain awake, listening to the city's fuss.
The city has sound and rhythm. The city is music.
But the words are whining, which confuses the music. They should be removed. The music must be pure. The truth must be pure.



GO, DO NOT RUN



I am the instrument of purity and truth. I'm a solist. I play alone.
My tool is the knife.
I live in the city. Therefore, I work in the city. Alone.
I was not captured because I'm cautious. I work on them one by one. At night. ALone.
I take away their words. One by one. With my instrument, with my knife. Everyone I met in the city. From anyone who is alone.
I cut off their tongues.



GANGSTER



How many tongues? A pointless question because it is composed of words. I will answer with equally meaningless words: dozens, hundreds, thousands. Who counts them? Numbers are not words.
I cut the tongues and keep them up beside my bed. In jars. The tongues ​​are trophies. I'm a fighter on the side of the truth.
The jars were seized when they took me away.

This is a quite a long shot because I can’t find much information on this but could this be...




“The Instrumentalist” (1996) by William Relling, Jr.



It was published in the anthology Night Screams in which Ray Bradbury does have a story in. The only information I can really find on it is from this review on Goodreads.

Short piece from the point of view of a hospitalized psycho. Not too impressive.
