The Soldier [33]

“We have escaped! We are free! We are flying away,” Maria cheers and at that moment the radio crackles in the earphones and the control tower tries to make contact with the helicopter. For a moment Ryno considers switching off the radio-set but decides against it.

Moments later they hear (... więcej)

The Soldier [32]

When the group comes back to the place where they had camped, the rain has stopped. Some of the Unita-soldiers dig a small hole and after a while they light a small fire with wet wood.

They celebrate and a brandy bottle is given from on to the other, while they are shivering around the small fire. (... więcej)

Three Winged Eye of Heaven

Suddenly, I don't know why, I took notice of the ever revolving fan hanging from the ceiling. It has always been there. But I never looked at it. I have never thought of it before.
It is there. Like the eye of the heaven, it always, is, there. I sleep, I wake, I eat, I do good things, I sin, and (... więcej)

WAS IT REALLY CURIOSITY THAT KILLED THE DOG?

When I was a little boy, I had a habit of browsing my elder brothers’ textbooks to look for anything interesting to read. I remember seeing a drawing of a dog in one of those textbooks.

A lot later they feel that they are being watched and when they look up, it is into the faces of Roberto and his officers. “Thank you for the good work that you are doing here,” Roberto remarks.
