¤¤¤,,,,¤¤, 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. ,,,¤¤,,,,,

¤,,,,¤¤,,, ,¤¤¤¤¤¤,,¤
,,¤¤,,,,¤¤ 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 ,,¤¤,,,,,,
