Savior?

Memories of an old Russian Short Story

By Dinesha PereraPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

I can imagine the rough heavily built man

Silent and menacing look

Entering

Getting the attention of a few diners

The annoyed and displeased looks of the other diners

who were timid to speak

About the most unsocial action of feeding a dog

From the plate that used to feed HUMAN

Their angry looks and heard assaulting words to the timid

caretaker of the dinning house

Finally,

The sinking puppy in the cold river Volga

Unsuspecting her FEEDER

The STRANGE drops of tears to the dry cavities of the eys of the

Stranger.

( I penned this short verse after remembering a short story of old Soviet literature , and I think Tolstoy in the write of this short story)
