«Kersnovskaya, a truck will be at the guard post now! In half an hour!»
It was the voice of work-assignment clerk Belkin. Just as well that might be the voice
With the same success it could be a voice of Archangel's pipe. That one however heralds a resurrection from the dead. And here it is to the contrary. It's time! And I rushed fisting the razor... but on the threshold hit someone's belly with my head. My vision darkened because of fragility (I had not eaten for 11 days) or surprise. When I returned the ability to grasp I heard Dmohovsky's voice.
«What do they say? It isn't true, is it? Are you really leaving us? Pavel Evdokimych, a poor thing, is not himself! Goes out of his mind!»
Saying that he forced me back.
