"This place isn't civilized. It's in the middle of nowhere. No wonder some sick fuck went crazy and started killing people. There's nothing else to do."
Taras exhaled. He felt like having a drink, but was disinclined to get up. He had some pepper vodka in the bottom of his suitcase.
"I think we're going to be here for a while yet. Just so you know."
