ONE OF THE QUESTIONS

What is fear? began Senad on his own

When we started towards Treskavica, there was that noise as if from a shell, before it hits.

Everyone threw themselves as quickly as possible to the ground.

Suddenly I heard laughter, a few meters away from me. What happened?

One of us had Coca-Cola in his water-bottle, shaken from the running, it foamed and hissed when opened loud enough, for us to believe we were under fire.

I really can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard.

they stand there forever not counting the summers

I pass by stop at the spring though there is no going back

then with Bogumil silence that resembles pride and sorrow I simultaneously leave

in the vehicle, later I change the subject as if nothing happened and continue my journey
