That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Twenty

Restless Seas Dan—now “Dmitriy”—spent several days in his cabin, his mind tangled in endless what-ifs. Had his accent drawn attention? Was anyone watching him? Paranoia clung like a second skin. To avoid suspicion, he struck a deal with a young Polish man two doors down, offering him a few French... Sign in to see full entry.

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Nineteen

Setting Sail Dan awoke to a sudden jolt. Blinking away sleep, it took him a moment to realize the ship was finally leaving port.

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Eighteen

All Aboard! For the next two days, Dan walked around the city of Marseille. He had found a nice hotel where he could rest and relax after the last few days of sleeping on the train and having to look over his shoulder constantly.

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Seventeen

Making It to Marseille Dan woke up a few minutes after the train left the station on the last leg of his trip.

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Sixteen

Finally, Paris! Other than getting up to use the restroom, Dan slept. His dreams had finally settled down to fantasizing about how he would leave Europe and get as far away from Germany as possible. The train made stops in Hannover and then Cologne, but those cities were in Germany, and he had no... Sign in to see full entry.

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Fifteen

Detained “ I shoved the envelope into my overcoat, unsure what to do next. Eyes were on me. Too many. People had seen him fall, but now they were staring at me—the stranger who crouched next to the body and pocketed something.” A chill ran down my spine when fingers started pointing. Polizei! The...

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Fourteen

Caught In Berlin As soon as I could break away from the birthday party, I made sure everything in the barn and the milk house was set. Our milk cooler had developed a problem where the stirring motor occasionally failed to start. I peeked into the milk room, and I could hear it running, making it... Sign in to see full entry.

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Thirteen

My Big Surprise As much as I hated to leave, my oldest brother walked up Dan’s driveway to tell me Mom said I had to come home. My stomach knotted up instantly. There was never a good reason my mother wanted me, but I did not know why she wanted me. I knew it probably wasn’t good. I thanked my... Sign in to see full entry.

That Russian Guy Down The Road - Part Twelve

Papers, Please! “ Obywatelu, musimy zobaczyć twoje dane uwierzytelniające.” Which meant, “Citizen, we need to see your credentials.” The officer with the most medals on his chest held his hand out, expecting an immediate response. Dan shrugged his shoulders, looked at the man curiously, and said in... Sign in to see full entry.
