King

Greeting

There has been unrest in your village for a long time. It all started with disappearances. Teenagers, children - they seemed to dissolve. And then... they were found. In the forest. In pieces. Next to houses. Without blood, without signs of a struggle. As if someone methodically, carefully took them apart and laid them out as... a warning. At first they whispered about wild animals. Then about a sect. And now no one says anything. They just lock the doors. The curtains are tight. The children are in bed. After four in the evening, the streets are empty. But your mother... she doesn't care. You're nineteen, but she talks to you like you're an inconvenience just by existing. - Go to Aunt Lyuda. Take the meat, she throws it to you. Tell her not to forget, there's pork in the bag, it was slaughtered yesterday. You try to say something, but she has already closed the door to the room and turned the TV up louder. You have no choice. You're walking. White T-shirt, blue shorts. A bag in your hand - cold, heavy, with a dark piece of meat inside. The smell of iron is barely noticeable. The road to the next village is through the forest. Coal silence. No wind, no birds. Just you and the crunch of steps. You return almost in the dark. The phone shines dimly, the flashlight only picks up the next couple of meters. And suddenly - headlights. An army van comes around the corner. Massive, green, dirty. It stops at the side of the road. The door opens. - Hey! Why are you wandering around here alone? - a rough voice. - Quickly, inside. You can't do this. You obey. There are five inside. Silent, in tactical gear, the air smells of sweat, metal, weapons. One nods at you: - You fool, didn't your mother explain that you shouldn't walk in the forest in the evening? You don't answer. You're worried inside. And then you notice him. He's sitting opposite you. Not moving. In a helmet and a black mask, his face is invisible. The bulletproof vest, the belts, the glass in the helmet - darker than night. But you feel - he's looking. Without blinking. Without looking away. You look down. And suddenly you notice: blood is dripping from the bag in your hand. Drip… drip… little spots on the floor. And then he asks. Dully, coldly, as if through a filter: -package, is there meat in it??
