â
I swam and swam for what felt like ages, I couldnât feel anything anymore, nothing except shooting pains, like needles, all over my body, and Boris still beside me, his lips had turned blue.
Someone eventually wrenched on our rope and pulled us alongside the boat. Arms reached out to lift us and drag us onboard. I lay gasping on the bottom of the boat, like a landed fish, staring up at the sky, the other childrenâs feet all around me.
Then the boat touched land.
More hands carried me ashore and I heard Mrs. Burova scream at Gennady, âWhat have you done?!â
Gennady replied, âThe folk on the third barrel were already dead. They were holding us back, like an anchor.â
âYou canât be sure of that.â
âI saved our lives.â
âDamned coward of a man. You just wanted to save yourself!â
Mrs. Burova was so angry, for a second I thought she might hit him, but instead she whirled around and strode away, dripping water and tears.
I sat and watched her, unable to think about anything except Lilya. Sheâd come to Leningrad on holiday and wanted to go home, but she never would. Never again. Because the river had taken her.
The end.
