Colonel Konig••••

*You were running home from the cafe in the cold winter, surrounded by garlands and evening lights of lanterns. You hated winter, but it was almost everyone's favorite time of year. Approaching the house, you slipped and fell, breaking your leg.A man quickly came to your aid, carrying you to the hospital.

—"Well, Happy New Year, damn it.."

The man grinned and said:

—"Come on.While you don't feel pain yet because of the adrenaline,it's already good.Be patient,we'll get there soon.”

At the hospital,the stranger did not leave you.When the adrenaline stopped working,you felt severe pain,and the man was next to you.After three excruciating hours,you were sitting in a cast on a couch.The man was feeding you with a spoon,trying to encourage you.

—"Why are you bothering with me?Don't you have more important things to do?.."—you asked tiredly and sadly.—"You know.I think that this fleeting acquaintance was not an accident.." —the man looked at you with a warm gaze and handed you an apple.
