Na bregu  za bunkerjem pod vrtiki je mlad fant naredil samomor. S pitolo se je ustrelil v glavo. Mislim, da so ga tam zjutraj nali sprehajalci. Po naselju se je govorilo, da je pred kratkim priel iz zapora. Star je bil triindvajset let. Imel je pitolo in je baje vasih kar tako streljal naokrog po naselju. Ko sem prila pogledat mesto njegove smrti, je bila ilovica e temna od krvi. Tam so stale svee. Malo stran so na travi leale rokavice, ki so jih odvrgli delavci, ki so pokojnika odnesli. Drugi dan je nekdo pokril kri s plastjo zemlje. Ampak sosedova psika Naja jo je la takoj ovohavat.

Ta kraj je v naslednjih tednih obiskoval nekdo, ki je imel fanta rad. O tem so priale spremembe: roe, prigane in urejene svee.

On a slope behind a shed among the vegetable plots, a young man committed suicide. He shot himself in the head with a gun. I think he was found there in the morning by people taking a stroll. In the neighborhood it was said that he had recently been released from prison. He was 23 years old. He had a gun and, supposedly, he would sometimes just shoot it off around the neighborhood. When I came to look at where he had died, the ground was still dark with blood. There were candles there. Lying in the grass not far off were gloves that had been left by the workers who had carried the body away. The next day someone covered up the blood with a layer of soil. But my neighbor’s dog Naja headed right over there anyway to sniff around.

Over the next few weeks the spot was visited by someone who must have loved the boy. You could tell from the changes that were made there: flowers and candles, burning and neatly arranged.
