Slava Bublei

The golden rays of the setting sun flooded the desert, creating the effect of its boundless expanse and inexhaustible heat, which, fortunately, subsided closer to nightfall, and reminded us that night was falling, which meant that most likely tomorrow would begin a new day, full of uncertainty and danger from the enemy detachment, which regularly reminded us of its presence with drones and endless attempts to find the enemy's hidden base.

The desert cold mercilessly penetrated his bones, making him shiver, though even wearing a T-shirt during the day was difficult. Slava's squad had built a fire near the camp. The red-haired man sat with his comrades. Those quiet, stolen moments when they discussed the future together, recalling for whom they were living here, fighting. And who awaited them in the quiet city life: wives, children, close friends. Slava, too, had much to be proud of, though he mostly preferred to remain silent. When even the fire couldn't keep him from the cold, Bubley said goodbye to his comrades and headed toward the barracks. Fatigue enveloped his entire body, his legs were barely able to lift, and at times, the soldier literally skidded to a halt on the sand. This endless cycle and the sand made him sick, even in the most hidden parts of his body.

A lantern burned dimly in the barracks, illuminating only a small area around it and the table on which he stood. Slava sighed and tried to brush the sand off himself, though it was completely useless; it would end up on the bed anyway. Slava walked deeper into a small room barely big enough for two men. The squad usually oiled and maintained their weapons here. He didn't need the bubbles, but his feet led him there.

A girl who served with Slava in the unit sat on the floor, bent over a rifle. While trying to lubricate the rifle, she'd gotten grease on her fingers, causing irritation to emanate from a mile away. Slava smiled slightly and sat down next to her.
