Word. There’s a mat on this textual content. If that is unacceptable for you, please don’t learn it.
I, having given, ATO and Manch are sitting on the ground in one of many rooms on the second ground. The remainder of the fellows settled on the primary. There’s silence within the room. Manch lies his hand to David, he tries very a lot to not scream in ache. ATO will likely be on obligation on the window. I smoke a cigarette.
Silently comprehend what occurred. About three days have handed because the second we’re.
After about fifteen minutes I break the silence:
– I’d by no means have thought that …
“Fuck, as a lot as you may clarify, say in a whisper, Kolya,” Manch whispers maliciously in my course. – I simply half an hour on the primary ground defined this, you additionally want
– Who can hear us? – I whisper incomprehensibly in response.
– The query shouldn’t be that Kolya, who can hear us, however who we cannot hear. If everybody will say in full voice, what is going to occur right here? You’ll want to be vigilant.
I gentle one other cigarette.
Silence.
– What did you need to say? – ATO activates me. What a fuck he’s.
“Nothing,” I reply.
“Communicate, come on,” Manch throws irritably.
– Sure, I needed to say that I anticipated extra from myself. After all, I didn’t suppose that I used to be fucked by Rambo. However the truth that I’m so misplaced didn’t counsel both.
“Sure, all of us appeared to be misplaced,” he says tiredly.
“Particularly your hand,” Manch says, smiling. He solely completed lifting the hand of Dava. The wound is lastly closed.
Silence. I proceed to smoke a cigarette. Three puffs later I begin a narrative.
– Once they started to fireside us from above. The grenade, too, most likely deserted, I don’t fairly perceive? I bear in mind how I began screaming behind a bush: “Assist! Assist!” Bear in mind E.? Such somewhat so skinny man. Darkish. He shouted: “I am unable to stroll!” At that second, after I heard his voice, at that very second I spotted what fucker truly was taking place. I look in his course and don’t perceive what to do. Get there beneath the hearth? How will I get it? The place will I drag him? Whereas I used to be eager about it, I look – the ATO already climbed there. I scream him – are you fucking? Return !! However he doesn’t care, he went to drag E. and I had no selection however to go for the ATO.
He pulled a cigarette to his mouth, made one other deep puff.
– Sure, I’d most likely have run away, to be trustworthy, in case you hadn’t been there.
Silence. Turning my gaze from one brother to a different, I assumed that I should have solely sufficient of my love on them. For them I used to be able to die. For others – no. It was a disgrace to consider it, however to say aloud – much more so. So I stated nothing. Having glanced on the ATO, I used to be amazed at his braveness. I’d by no means have thought that behind his nursery, I’d even say that such an influence of self -sacrifice is hiding with a fragile look. It was tough to appreciate that, not like me, his love was sufficient for everybody. I continued:
– All faculty time I beloved one movie, “In Wild,” known as. The protagonist wandered round America for years. With out cash. For a really very long time I dreamed of how I actually will journey like that. On the 20th birthday flew to Israel. A few days have been sufficient for me to grasp that this was all not about me. Just one night sat with actual vacationers, checked out them, listened. I spotted that each one my goals of wanderings are them. Not me. And right here is similar. I assumed I’d be like an ATO. However it turned out that I used to be a coward.
Manch bared his enamel and giggled:
– Is that this a confession?
“Shut up,” the ATO shouted offended at Mancha.
I communicate additional, not taking note of their remarks:
– Then David, all of the bloodied got here working to me, shouts: “I’m wounded! I am wounded! ” How do I do know what to do in such a scenario?
“Nicely, then I ran to the manch, he burned the wound with a knife and bandaged it with an with an finish,” he stated slowly, by means of his enamel.
“Fucked,” I stated, lighting one other cigarette.
“Perhaps you gained’t smoke so typically?” Now we have not infinite cigarettes, ”Manch threw me and twisted his mustache. Every of us coped with the nerves in our personal approach. Manch fiddled together with his mustache, David swayed, ato naughty nails (abomination). And I smoked (somewhat) greater than the remaining.
“Deal,” I snapped. – And the place did you come from?
– I am from,.
Everybody laughed. Even David.
Malatia is a district on the outskirts of Yerevan. Manch typically remembers this place with love. He says that life there, like nothing else, trains resourcefulness.
– We must always have been instructing us all within the military. And the way to struggle, and the way to present first assist, ”stated the ATO.
– I served for 3 months and I don’t know something however a drill step. Shot as soon as. When the conflict started, requested David to indicate me the way to intention. Is that this regular in any respect? And David typically served a month, ”I stated, put out a barely lit cigarette and put it again in a pack.
Silence hung.
“I bear in mind when it began, I used to be standing behind me, ATO on the left,” Manch out of the blue started. – After which subsequent to my face the whistle of the bullet. I flip my head – there are blackberry bushes. And I’ve a pea jacket in my hand. I throw it on the bush – I advance. There was a wall – I disappeared behind her and shouted: “Kolya! ATO! Davo! ” I’m firing, I see somewhat later: giving me, one way or the other surprisingly wrapping myself round my arms, involves me, I perceive that it’s wounded. Just like me: “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Snort. David smiles by means of the ache.
– I ponder why! – commented on the ATO.
-Then he calms down and says: one thing a hand hurts. Exhibits to the left – there may be blood there; He doesn’t but perceive that the appropriate is way more critical with the appropriate. And I’ve 1,000,000 pairs of socks in pockets, nicely, three or 4 pairs for certain.
I smile, imagining how a manCh caps 1,000,000 pairs of socks into his pockets. I ask him:
– Brother. Why?
ATO instantly waves his arms in an image:
– Right here for this case!
– It got here in useful! – provides manch himself.
“Hygiene is crucial,” the summarizes.
– Once they went all the way down to the primary -aid publish. Partly. The place he might pull. I noticed one thing useful-I threw it into my pockets. In useless, or one thing, a lot was sewn, ”says Manch, pointing to quite a few pockets of military pants.
“I managed to push the half -kilogram canned meals in my pocket,” Giggled, boasting.
– For a wet day! Right here, nonetheless, day-after-day is black … – the ATO observed gloomily.
– In brief, I attempt to bandage the wound with a toe, however nonetheless the blood beats by means of the toe. Aorta is there or what, the satan is aware of him. Vienna, perhaps, – shrugged Manch.
“The artery,” David corrected.
– Generally, sure. Blood fountain hits particularly. I shut one other toe from above. All the identical, blood doesn’t cease to the top. I feel: Okay, rattling it. Then Giving stated: “I really feel one thing weakly with my proper hand.” I look – there’s a spherical gap in it. I say: “Give, it appears to be a basturma, wait a minute.” – Giving laughs. – And at that second I’m attempting to grasp what to do. In consequence, I take away the belt from the machine gun – on the one hand it seems, then again is just too tight; I throw the machine apart. I take away the belt from the pants. And the pants are large on me, they start to fall, I took socks once more! He one way or the other bandaged them-perfectly stored to the top. Ha ha. And at that second I go searching, I feel what to do. I shout: “Kolya! Arthur!” I feel there needs to be a commander. Keers, for instance. Bear in mind him? There was just one mobilized uncle. I go searching, looking for it – I see: he lies on the bottom useless. I feel: “And now somewhat fucked up.” I flip my head, look – everybody retreats to a cliff, giving too. I’d by no means have thought, however giving – a person. Giving – man! I fucked up when he jumped from the gorge in blood. I adopted him, stood on the cliff and I see about two meters of top and blackberry bushes from under. I feel the fuck, how did this moron jumped? How do I soar? However there was no selection left – I needed to soar.
“Perhaps he was used to falling from the skate?” I urged.
– To the blackberry? – joked David.
Laughed.
– Then they talked about the truth that everybody was fortunate, however Dava was not, however Dava was most fortunate. The bullet entered the pocket of the physique armor, then into the shop, then within the hand.
– It damage, brother? I requested.
“Sure, not,” stated David, making it clear how silly my query is. It’s typically an ironic sort sufficient. – Now I am going to inform you. It began. I assumed: “Nicely, I am in camouflage. And behind the bush. (Laughter.) And there’s no place in entrance. There’s a manch there. And if I stand up subsequent to him, it is going to be too noticeable that two persons are standing. Then they may positively shoot there. ” I acquired behind the bush. And actually nobody shot at me at first. I shoot at them and suppose: “Cool, lastly I take advantage of the gun.” There was a dude close by in an open subject. I take a look at him. After which the grenade falls on this dude. And you don’t see how the grenade explodes. This isn’t like within the movie. I bear in mind smoke and blackens earlier than my eyes. An unforgettable second, by the way in which, how one thing acquired into you. I bear in mind a black display. I get up – and the whole lot is like within the recreation. Whistle within the ears. Some type of recreation is going on. You do not really feel something.
– So you don’t really feel ache?
– No. At this second, there may be a lot adrenaline that you’re like beneath Morphine, ”answered. He spoke very slowly – it was clear that he was bodily weak and he was laborious to offer him. – I take a look at my arms – I cannot transfer them. Three meters from me, my gun lies – I additionally painted an icon from Half Life on it. I see – blood is herald. I feel: “Fucking, misplaced.”
– Life is misplaced? I joked.
– I nonetheless suppose: oh, cool, they may take it dwelling.
– Take it! – the ATO giggled.
– I attempted to grasp the place I’ve a wound. The start could be very laborious to burn. I don’t even bear in mind how I ran to you, Kolya. I bear in mind working down someplace, I bear in mind the ATO-he stood in opposition to the wall, shot someplace. You suppose it can’t be extra painful, however the ache intensified. Then the man got here up, his bandages had the one one. He tried to assist, however couldn’t do something. Generally, not there, I bandaged it in the long run. The manch then got here up, burned me a wound on the appropriate. I had a bodily shock, however my brains labored usually – I understood that we have been within the ass. I bear in mind the whole lot explodes to the rattling mom, somebody has no cheek, somebody has no hand, somebody is already useless, and I’m: “Fuck, so what to do now? I’m additionally wounded now, fucking, ”continued. – I assumed that it was greatest to be shot, as a result of by this second hellish ache had already begun. I stated to Mancu: “I direct the barrel to my head, I’m nonetheless ineffective.”
– Severely, did he inform you this? – requested Mansch ATO proper there.
– Sure. I shot. Subsequently, he has been telling for thus lengthy, ”Mankch answered.
Laughter. There’s silence behind the chortle. Deep painful silence.
– And what’s subsequent, guys?
– However the dick is aware of.
You possibly can’t say higher. We’re nonetheless surrounded. The one strategy to his personal lies by means of the battlefield, the place the our bodies of our colleagues are nonetheless mendacity. The place, it should have been nonetheless one might hear the voice of an enemy, a guardian elevation. It could be insanity once more there, go there with the wounded – pure suicide. We reported this to the command that indicated this highway to us. We have been replied that generally we have to make tough selections. ATO hung up.
