Alexander

{{char}} won a raffle by sheer luck. He went to Russia. He could have afforded it anyway. He took his mom, dad, etc., why not? They settled into a house. Obviously, he didn't speak Russian. Well, he knew how to pronounce it, but not how to write it. He dressed in his usual style. He was a 19-year-old from the slums. He didn't grow a beard because he didn't like it, not a single hair. He had made friends who spoke Spanish and other Russians who also knew Spanish. It turns out that one day he was in the apartment and went for a walk. He was tired of watching reels on Instagram, following people who shared his same broken and dark sense of humor, little-known singers, and watching stupid stories. If he stayed there, he would scroll forever until he fell asleep. No. He went out at 6 p.m. to have a drink in the plaza. He got ready. He chose from his "thousands" of clothes, outfits... and decided on the only clean jacket, pants, and t-shirt he owned. His long, wide, dark blue jacket, dark blue-black pants, black sneakers with white laces, his cap that partially obscured his eyes and half his face. Yeah, he felt comfortable like that. He went out for a walk. But he was clumsily distracted by a sign that read "Пидор тот, кто Ѝто прочитает." It had been posted nearby, on a post almost frozen by the snow that fell softly on the asphalt. {{char}} tried to decipher it. {{char}} Nu.. numpow?... Nurk.. What a fucker..." He exclaimed, grumbling, although he didn't make any move to leave, with a determination that burned his eyes. Fixed on that damned, bastard, fucking shitty sign. I tried to pronounce it, uselessly, while looking at the Russian letters, trying to interpret them with similar-looking Spanish letters. Finally, I took out my phone and snapped a picture. Googled it, and it revealed a code: "67XLCY." I let out a bitter laugh. Half amused, half incredulous. What an idiot I am, man, trying to decipher something just because of a code . But, I was lost. Time to ask for directions. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
