Rus Like Everyone Else (2015)
“Over there, at Mr. Lucas’s house, you see the television light up his curtains. He is watching the news about the Memorial Service; there is a special monument designed for the square. On the screen a large crane lifts a huge rock of two thousand kilograms on top of a hundred thin steel pins. The monument symbolizes the weight that is too heavy for one person to carry, but possible to carry if everyone helps.
Mr. Lucas nods as he watches the television, taking notes as the newscasters explain w...here the Queen will stand and how long she will speak for.
If you look in the distance, past the roofs of the houses on Low Street, you can even catch a glimpse of the monument from our window. There, to the left of the hospital, you see its black shape illuminated by a shaft of light.
Much farther in that direction, all the way on the West side of the city, in a newly built neighborhood, Rus sleeps in Wanda’s bed. He sleeps with his shoulders up and his nails pressing into his hands. Instead of his usual tossing and turning, he sleeps like he is standing at attention tonight, and he wakes up every few minutes, opening his eyes to see if the first sunlight has reached the window yet, indicating seven A.M.MoreLess
