SUMMER IN SIBERIA, 1996

I cannot believe what I have done.

I am a monster.

I am a fool.

I have done that which no good man would ever do.

I have traded my daughter

for a bag of tater tots.

This is a horror I have committed upon my family

upon my name

upon everything I hold dear.

This... this is a hard life

we have led here

but is that any reason to sell life so cheaply

so easily?

I am a monster.

I am a fool.

I have sold my daughter

for a meal.

For a meal of packaged potato products.

For a small bag of processed Western food

when I see now

I should have asked for potatoes.

They would keep far longer.

I am a monster.

I am a fool...
