Dark
Saturday, December 20th, 2008 at 9:40 pm by Almazbek DosmatovichThe power goes at five in the evening now, and comes back, or not, at midnight. The children do homework with candles. Mothers are worried about the cold; I am worried about the same, and in the second place I am worried that it is the first time in my life that the school roof is truly dark.
I will not say it is good. It is cold, and the people are tired. But I will say that Orion is hanging over the valley as it must have hung in the days of the Kokand khans.
