Yevgeni Zakarov did wait. Fluorescent light above him did spark while shining in broken glass. Capitalists were invading outpost. He didn't see them, but did expect them for years from across Atlantic. Warnings given to commissar Yuri did not warrant response from union. Far too late now. Yevgeni was conscript for fourteen years now. When he was young he watched dad in gulag with vodka and he saying 'I am wanting to grow up in gulags daddy'. Dad said 'No! Shut up! Commissar will overhear us! You will not have chance to be asset to the union!'. There was time when he believed him. As he got oldered he stopped. But there was a time when he believed him. Glorious Union knew there were capitalists. 'This is Boris' the intercom crackled. 'You must bring fiscal report to office please.' So Yevgeni picked up papers and went to office. 'HE GOING TO ENSLAVE US' said the capitalists. 'I will make them give to nation' said coworker as he gave out paychecks, but economy failed and not all had much to give to glorious Soviet people. 'No!' shouted Yevgeni, 'I must collect funds for people to stop capitalists!' The intercom said 'No, Yevgeni. You are the capitalists.' And then Yevgeni was a nationalist-socialist.
You are diligent worker at Soviet Administration office working at night. The Soviet Copy Machine begins working like good Soviet worker. You go to Soviet Copy Machine and see many Soviet copies in the Soviet tray. It is picture of you dead in chair. The other pictures are also of you dead but taken from more Soviet angles. There is no original picture in the copy machine. In fact, the machine has been out of toner for a week. SOVIET COPY MACHINES WORK OVERTIME FOR GOOD OF CAUSE.

Parents say "Foolish caretaker, we have no statue." Children and caretaker found dead. Parents rejoice. Frightened children and weak caretaker not true Soviets.

Walking home one night, you notice all the candles in personal shack are lit. You finish vodka bottle as you approach your door. House is empty, and you made sure not to feed guard dog, but candles still go out. You check your pocket watch, small hand on 4, big hand on 1. You relise you'll be late for unpaid community service. At service, you find letter on floor. It's signed to you, from you. You open the letter, confused. Inside reads "the out for watch watch" You look at pocket watch. big hand on 4, little hand on one. You look at note again, it appears the 4th and 1st words have swapped places. "Watch out for the watch." You look at pocket watch again. You realise watch is broken, and decide you must get it fixed. You also decide to cut back on vodka, so as to not send letters to yourself anymore. Such is life in mother Russia..
