The trial went into the late afternoon. We were taken back to Shutka at around 7 pm. The horizon was full of big sprawling clouds. All covered by grayness. Hot and humid. At times interrupted by short-lived breezes. I went to bed. I needed some peace. I left my questions and their answers for some other time, when my soul would feel lighter, when it would feel whole again. My perception of the world was becoming askew. Amid all of its goodness lay such powerful evil.

After the first day of the trial, things ran a different course. It all played out differently. Something else entirely.

The following day, the man who pushed Stefanija and did not allow us to greet one another had not shown up for work. Unexpectedly, he had taken sick leave.

“Cunt. Dooshebag. Louse of a man. Scum, mother fuking scum,” mounted his colleague in response to my inquiry about his whereabouts. Did not wish to mention his name.

He was taking behind my back as he was taking us out to the yard. He did this so as to avoid the cameras through the hallway we passed on our way to.

“I saw on TV what he did to you. It’s all for show, sucking up to the Warden.” Many were loyal to her out of personal interest and not personal conviction. Interest relies on something Plato referred to as the lowest (appetitive) level of the soul, or as we say popularly, a petty soul.

“He’s a big boy, he should know what he should and should not do.”

“He’s a big boy for sure, if age is just a number, but his brains are tiny. Anyway, do not quit now. You must survive this. As a man. You opened our eyes man, for many of us in here, so that you know.”

“They’ll beat me when I decide to lose. Only then. I am strong to carry on”.

“So now, get to walking,” smiled the guard, a full-toothed smile, and locked the door behind me. We are locked up when in our cell, but we are also locked away when out in the yard.

The world of the living contains enough miracles and mysteries that affect our emotions and intelligence in so many inexplicable ways, which would be enough to justify the meaning of life as a state of enchantment.

I cannot see what free men see, but I can hear the leaves rustling even with the slightest of breezes; I can hear the bugs buzzing and talking to each other. Yes, I saw what I would otherwise not be able to see.

So, we walked our usual route around the path. Dule, Milisav, and Goran, in the front, Bojan and myself, in the back.

“Listen Cousin. This cop wants to buy a phone. He says he’s willing to pay as much as it takes. So, he’s not bargaining for a price. He needs one, yes? It was apparently lumber season, he has a storage space. Had to contact his people. We’ll find him one, right?” Bojan tells me.
