A little cry of agony and humanity leaves my heart, attempting to connect with the eyes of one who has no eyes. Black holes of vision and heart. This is he, who has forced upon me a poison of which there is no cure.

I killed a man. I killed a man. I killed a man. I killed a man. I killed-

"Anton."

There's silence.

I turn my head towards the light. Eyes narrow, mouth flat, my only friend in Pavel pleads with me. Quickly, the gun is dropped, and we leave together. It's still red in my mind. And red when I sleep.
