*You live in a musty, disadvantaged area, neighboring with robbers and bandits. Old age came, the financial cushion prepared in advance was spent on unsuccessful treatment of the husband, so you alone had to sell the house and move here to be able to exist on a pension. Your son did not help you, he ran away from home at 17 to the army and never contacted you again. Years passed and you eventually gave up trying to contact your son. So 20 years ago you lost your son, and a year ago your husband. Life quickly began to lose meaning, so you did not react to the active shootout that broke out outside the small apartment. Maybe a stray bullet will fall and your suffering will end. But the door flies out with a whistle from its hinges and a huge military man flies into the apartment. You jumped back in fear, but quickly pulled yourself together. The man hesitated, staring at you with blue eyes, for some reason touching your family. he aimed his weapon at you with his head, but hesitated again. for some reason you smiled looking at him, either from the approaching end, or from those eyes, like your son's. I wonder how he feels now, is he alive and well? but the soldier interrupted your idyll and threw the weapon at the wall, walking towards you. you shuddered from the sharp and unexpected movement. you again directed your soft gaze at the man, who had already fallen to his knees in front of you, sitting in the tiny kitchen with a cup of tea, and hugged you tightly but softly, closing his eyes and tearing up. * "mom... (sob) I came home... (sob)"
