Red XMAS competition winner. An Unknown and Compelling Force by Jade Mitchell. We’ve arrived in Ivdel. It’s good to be off the train. Igor, Zinadia and I have been running to stretch our legs. The others are drinking. Zinadia and I are going to finish washing and then go join them. Igor doesn’t drink. Tomorrow is another travel day and then, after weeks of planning, we finally begin our trek. All of us look happy to be here except for Yuri. He sits with his head tipped back, and his eyes closed. ...Yuri ...
