- I remember mom and me, under the chicken coop boards. We were terrified. We heard their boots and I sobbed softly...
- You were just a child...- ...And they heard me. They found our hiding place. Screams, shots and then only silence. Mom died protecting me. Her blood soaked my dark hair. That was my baptism as a man. After that, I became one of them. I had to survive...
- It was not your fault. You are better than them.
- ...I became a soldier, a soldier in their army. I cannot change it. I killed and I'll kill again.
- Please, put the gun down...
- I can still smell her blood but I don't remember her voice. It's a shame I'll die so far apart from her grave in Grozny...
- Please don't...
Shots,
and then only silence.
