Die Stunden verstreichen langsam, und man erzählt sich irgendwelchen Unsinn, verscheucht mit schlaffer Hand die Wolken von Mücken, die im Juli über dem versandeten Fluss schwirren, stürzt lauwarmen Wodka hinunter und isst kleine Speckstücke dazu, die Gorkun mit seinem sibirischen Messer herunterschneidet.
Sie hasste Nächte wie diese, schwitzig und aggressiv, in denen sie vor lauter Hitze keinen Schlaf fand, in der sich die Haut ihres Körpers immerzu klebrig anfühlte, in der die Mücken sie auffraßen.
