God, how I loved that town.
\nGod, how I loved that town.
\nWith its stores, all smelling of a lightfest, with each corner hosting a poet or an artist, with its turnstiles’ wind jets, with the richness of its baguettes, with its cozy little life,
\neven though the city itself is as giant as a comet\u2019s tail, with \u2013
\nWait, but isn\u2019t that Moscow?
\nYes, it\u2019s Moscow, with its heating by steam generation, its nonresistance to evil as an avocation, with each corner hosting a unique cultural sensation, with its diverse and wholly astonishing population.
\nYou sure it\u2019s Moscow?
\nYes, God. The very city, legit. For some reason I still dream of it. How the heck did I manage to fall in love with it, get so stuck on it, grow so used to it, become part of it\u2026
\nBut you do understand that it\u2019s the capital of evil?
\nYes, God. It\u2019s the capital of evil, alright. Hordes upon hordes stand on the square of darkness and worship a goat in plain sight. Baphomet spread out his black wings over the street where my friend lived pre-blight. (She took flight. Her husband won\u2019t have to fight.) And my other friend has been knocked out flat by the last letter of a foreign alphabet.
\nSo then why?
\nNo reason, God, none at all. I\u2019m scanning the crumbling internet and see a skeleton standing tall, and the last-ever rockets prepped for the call, but God, what if a new dawn will suddenly lift this pall?
\nAnd what new dawn might that be?
\nWell, God, the end of the war\u2014for one, and that someone else\u2019s land will stay with that other someone, and the Commander-in-shit will drown in that shit with his guns, and whatever is making people not get along will be done, and then\u2026
\nYou\u2019re fucking out of your mind, my son, saith Lord God. No one can bring back flesh that\u2019s now rot. You won\u2019t find for Zed a CTRL-Z that makes death disappear just like that. You can\u2019t resurrect Bucha and Irpin\u2014undo the mark made by the choice between light and dark. I\u2019ve got no Nuremberg so fucking peremptory that it could undo your twenty-first century.
\n\u2026But what about the courtyards? The bars? The racket? China-town? Sretenka? La-minor?
\nNevermore, saith Lord God. Nevermore. <\/p>\n
