¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ We Were Going South Through Finland At ¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¨ The Time, Sleeping Close To The ¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¤
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨ Furnace, Watching The Aurora borealis. ¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨
¨¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¤ Twenty-Something Members Of The Crew, ¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨ Most Of Which Were Mechanics, Or ¤¤¨¨¤¤¤¤¤¤
¨¨¨¤¤¨¨¤¤¨ Loaders, With Large And Hairy Hands ¤¨¨¨¨¤¤¤¤¨
¤¤¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ That Could Swallow My Entire Body. And ¨¨¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨
¨¨¨¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Me Featuring As The Cute And Asocial ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¤¤¨¨¤¤¤¤¤¤ Radio Operator, Stationed In The Back ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
¤¨¨¨¨¤¤¤¤¤ Of The Kilometer-Long Train, Which ¨¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
¨¨¤¤¨¨¤¤¤¤ Served Me Good And Well. ¨¨¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¤¤¤ ¤¨¨¤¤¤¤¤¤¨
¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤ And Then One Night, There'S A Missile. ¨¨¨¨¤¤¤¤¨¨
¨¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¤ We Would Routinely Pick Up New Cars At ¨¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨¨
¨¨¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨ The Tail, And Drop Some Off, As A Way ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¤¤
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Of Earning Some Extra Money. But A ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¨
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Missile, And Appearing Silently In The ¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Middle Of The Night At That? Not ¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¤
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Entirely... Comfortable. ¨¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨
¨¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¨ ¨¨¤¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨ I Call It In On The Walkie-Talkie. Not ¨¨¨¨¤¤¤¤¤¤
¨¨¨¤¤¤¤¨¨¤ Many Others Awake, They Know Nothing ¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¤¤¨
¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨¨¨ About It, And Appear Concerned As Well. ¤¤¨¨¨¨¤¤¨¨

¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¤¤ When I Fall Awake In The Afternoon, ¨¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¤¤
¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨¤ Karl Is There, Smiling At Me. "Hey ¨¨¤¨¨¤¤¨¨¤
¤¤¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Boy," He Says, "Wanna Help Me Make A ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Call?" ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¨
¤¤¨¨¤¤¤¤¤¤ ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¤¤¤¤¤ After He'S Brought Me Coffee, I Dial ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¨
¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¤¤ The Frequency From His Notebook, And ¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤
¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¤¤¨ After A While There'S A Reply In ¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¤
¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨¨¨ Pan-Slavic. Karl Laughs And Makes A ¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¤¤¤ Reply In The Same Language. Even Though ¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤ We Both Have Headphones I Can'T Follow ¤¤¨¨¤¤¤¤¤¤
¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¤ At All, But I Hear The Word "Missile" A ¤¨¨¨¨¤¤¤¤¤
¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨ Few Times. ¨¨¤¤¨¨¤¤¤¤
¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¤¤¤
¤¤¨¨¤¤¤¤¤¤ I'M Almost Snoozing Again At The Time ¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¤¤
¤¨¨¨¨¤¤¤¤¤ Karl Puts Down The Headphones And Slaps ¤¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¤
¨¨¤¤¨¨¤¤¤¤ Me On My Back. "Allright Boy. I Just ¨¤¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨
¤¨¨¨¨¨¨¤¤¨ Sold A Missile." He Practically Beams ¨¨¤¨¨¨¨¨¨¤
¨¨¤¤¤¤¨¨¨¨ At Me, Teeth Filed Sharp. "Wanna Make A ¤¨¨¨¤¤¤¤¨¨
¤¨¨¤¤¨¨¤¤¨ Detour?" ¨¨¤¨¨¤¤¨¨¤
