A former owner of a fashionable footwear shop, Barzakh in no way could do a carter's job. It was both painful and funny to see his useless attempts to set a log on a short sledge! And nobody had a call to help him... But had also no opportunity as everybody wore oneself out hastened to make one's own job with the looming threat to lose a food ration. King Hunger! The cruellest king of communism.
