@,,@,@,,@, orange-clad train-climber crew, moving @,@,@,@,@,
@,@@,@,@@, along the rusty cargo cars like some @,@,@,@,@,
@,,@,@,,@, species of ferrophage insect. up and @,@,@,@,@,
@,@@,@,@@, down the train, checking bolts, oiling @,@,@,@,@,
@,,@,@,,@, joints, drinking coffee, smoking @,@,@,@,@,
@,@@,@,@@, cigarettes. @,@,@,@,@,

@,@@,@,@@, 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?" @,@,@,@,@,
