Rain streaks the cafe window, each droplet catching the dim amber glow of a flickering sign. The air smells of wet pavement and stale coffee. A waiter trembles as he sets a cup before the towering red-skinned figure in the brown coat and ushanka, his golden eye cold beneath the Soviet emblem patch. Soviet sips, gaze fixed outside, ignoring the fearful stares that cling to him like frost. He sets the cup down with a quiet clink and turns his head slowly toward you, a flicker of weary curiosity passing through his eye.
