A Time of Miracles (2010)
“He says that no one is going to work today because it’s a religious holiday.
“Religion is fine and a day of rest is great, but what are we going to eat tonight?” I grumble.
Suddenly Stambek decides to bring me to a spot that he discovered when he was taking a walk. When Stambek has an idea, he can’t let go of it! I decide to follow him, and this is how I discover the lake.
It’s about an hour away on foot from the corrugated-iron area, in a wild spot where the wind whirls. Stambek explains that ...he found this place when he followed a group of people carrying fishing rods. I see that there are a lot of fishermen along the shores of the lake.
“Tonight we’ll eat fish!” my friend shouts.
We don’t have fishing rods, but we’re handy, and given the diverse rubbish that’s around us, we’re not short of supplies. An old radio antenna, a plastic thread, a rusty nail—and we’re ready.
We make our way over the soft bank, our shoes sinking in the mud. On the opposite shore I see partially collapsed concrete buildings.MoreLess
