The Free Man of Kyiv
“Have you seen my dog?” Frightened faces just shook their obvious, disengaged response as they rushed past the young ten-year-old boy, trying to get them to stop. Strains of panic caused old and young to duck for cover with every sound of an explosion - whether it be close or distant. This was unrequited life existing in the shadow of the modern bear, who had flexed its muscles and stamped its authority like a strict parent calling its children home before dark.

It always comes from older people set in their ways.I parked my car in a rush. I quickly walked into the corner store that was down the road from my house. I hadn’t gotten used to having to drive to a place that was so close to where I lived, but around the area I just moved to it was a necessity.
