¨¤¤¨¨¤¤¨¨¤ Along The Rusty Cargo Cars Like Some ¨¨¨¨¨¤¤¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Species Of Ferrophage Insect. Up And ¨¤¤¤¨¨¨¨¤¤
¨¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Down The Train, Checking Bolts, Oiling ¨¨¤¨¨¤¤¨¨¨

¤¨¨¨¨¤¤¨¨¤ 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?" ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¨¨
