That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Fifteen

Detained “ I shoved the envelope into my overcoat, unsure what to do next. Eyes were on me. Too many. People had seen him fall, but now they were staring at me—the stranger who crouched next to the body and pocketed something.” A chill ran down my spine when fingers started pointing. Polizei! The...

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Fourteen

Caught In Berlin As soon as I could break away from the birthday party, I made sure everything in the barn and the milk house was set. Our milk cooler had developed a problem where the stirring motor occasionally failed to start. I peeked into the milk room, and I could hear it running, making it... Sign in to see full entry.

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Thirteen

My Big Surprise As much as I hated to leave, my oldest brother walked up Dan’s driveway to tell me Mom said I had to come home. My stomach knotted up instantly. There was never a good reason my mother wanted me, but I did not know why she wanted me. I knew it probably wasn’t good. I thanked my... Sign in to see full entry.

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Twelve

Papers, Please! “ Obywatelu, musimy zobaczyć twoje dane uwierzytelniające.” Which meant, “Citizen, we need to see your credentials.” The officer with the most medals on his chest held his hand out, expecting an immediate response. Dan shrugged his shoulders, looked at the man curiously, and said in... Sign in to see full entry.

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Eleven

Trouble in Warsaw Shortly after the morning chores, I headed down the road to visit with Dan. No one had said a word about it being my birthday. I didn’t expect much of a celebration, but it hurt my feelings when I didn’t even get a ‘ Good morning’ from anyone. After cleaning the barn, milking the... Sign in to see full entry.

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Ten

Then there was dealing with my mom. I now know she was mentally ill. She had sustained a horrific farm injury when she was twelve. My grandmother told me that if the new doctor in town who came to the scene hadn’t just returned from the battlefields in Germany, she would have died. She had been... Sign in to see full entry.

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Nine

Ice Cream and Memories It was the end of August and the dog days of summer. Dan saw me wipe the sweat off my face and smiled. “How about we jump into my car and find that ice cream place in Sheridan?” I had never gone anywhere with Dan, but he didn’t have to ask me twice. Minutes later, we were... Sign in to see full entry.

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Eight

A few minutes later, Dan came back and sat down. “This is where stuff gets deep, son. Do you want to hear this stuff? It still scares me when I think about it.” I vigorously nodded my head. This stuff fascinated me, but I soon understood what he meant. “ I handed the man his money and watched him... Sign in to see full entry.

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Seven

Trying To Escape With My Life “ You’ll have to remember that my name was Ivan in Russia. I go by ‘Dan’ here to be safe.” I didn’t fully understand why he changed his name until he finished his story. Then, everything became frightfully clear. Dan took a deep breath and leaned closer to me as if... Sign in to see full entry.
