small then, therefore the city services could react to any incident quite quickly and
efficiently. After some swift words the paramedics carefully began to take out the
maimed bodies, one by one. The first was the boy's body whose spirit stood in shocked
silence next to me, unable to say or think anything.
The poor little fellow was shivering wildly. Obviously, it was too much for his
child's overtaxed mind to comprehend. He just looked goggle-eyed at that which had
been "him" some moments ago and had no strength to come out of his prolonged
"numbness".
– Mummy, Mummy!!! – The girl began to cry again. – Vidas, Vidas, why
does she not hear me?!
Or rather, she cried mentally because, unfortunately, she was already dead
physically, as was her brother.
And her poor mother, whose physical body still clutched tenaciously at its
fragile, hardly glimmering life, could not hear her because they already belonged to
different, inaccessible to each other, worlds....
The children became more confused and I felt that give it another minute or two

streamed down her pale cheeks with her little fists, she saw only her mother who for
some reason did not want to answer her and did not want to rise.
– Mummy, please, get up! – She began to cry again. – Please, get up, Mummy!!!
The paramedics began to carry the bodies into the ambulance and the girl lost her
head...
– Vidas, Vidas, they are taking all of us away!!! What about us, why we are here?
– She was unable to calm down.
The boy was paralyzed with fright. He stood silent, even forgetting about his little
sister.
– What shall we do now? – The girl became panic-stricken. – Go now, please,
let's go!!!
– Where to? – The boy asked quietly. – We have nowhere to go.
I could not stand it any longer and decided to talk to the poor frightened, clinging
