Summary
The men whisper, as all men do, about the creature that lurks on the outside of their missions, the shadow that passes in the darkness. Some flick salt, others are old enough to remember their prayers, and rapidly repeat the words that their mothers used to say to them. Most ignore her; perhaps, they think, if we don’t acknowledge her, she doesn’t exist. They think, they know, that this is the Soviet Union and all manner of nightmares lurk, whether hidden or in plain sight—it is the unspoken law between comrades not to speak of such thing. Forget this not, she maybe be beautiful and silent, but she is a nightmare, wrapped in a woman’s hide.
