The court was flooded with sunlight. Zahur has stopped in the middle and stricken a pose of grandeur. The spectacle turned out not to be ludicrous at all. I expected that with the grand constrictor around his neck he would resemble a funfair freak… No, he looked frightening. The colour pattern of the serpent’s skin harmonized with the camouflage uniform and it seemed that the snake was growing out of the former Communist apparatchik’s shoulders.
Do you think we were waiting for you? Do you wish to make a fast buck? Don’t forget that fast money means fast death. To roll down the mountainside is easy. You roll head over heels like a shot and in the end smash your pate on a rock.
