9. The Short Story about the Bottom
The religious protagonist in a pit sits. Together with the wife. It's damp, cold, heavy.
He have decided to distract. He have turned on the laptop. Have gone out in Internet.
Browse: news. The fight. The incident. The razborka. "u-u-Yes...". The Molotov cocktail ... "Is what cocktail, the wife? To which in long dresses come?" What to answer the wife? She jokes in reply: "In clothes black ...".
The religious protagonist looks further: website of newspaper. On the first page even the writer - classic is represented. Russian-Soviet. The protagonist has remembered: "At the bottom". He have sighed. He have gained strength, He have begun to read.
"We, such-those, support!..."
The wife has approached, has looked because of a back onto the screen: "How long, father?"
From surprise the religious protagonist has lost the speech. The question was left without answer.
