Lunch with Lenin


Valerian was five when his mother took him to red square mall. His mother leaves him there as she wanted to go pay her respects to Commrade Lenin. He sits there for all day then police comes and takes him away with them. When Valerian turned seven he was sent to orphanage, there he always used to miss her mother and waited for her to return. Their kids always used to make fun of him of that he still thinks his mother is waiting for him there. When he returned 16 he got send to army. Valerian works in the mechanics garage, sweeping and staying out of the land lady’s way. He gets a letter which says “meet me in red square at noon” signed squid. When he goes there, there is a short line up of people waiting to enter, he follows them there, when he enters he sees the man his mother had gone to meet Comrade Vladimir Lenin, the father of revolution. He wanted to get out from there so he goes and sits in the corner. A man comes and pats him on his shoulders, and gives him lunch to eat. He takes him to his office and there he meets architect of revolution. They take him to gates of heaven where people are smoking and taking drugs. He runs from there and sits down against a tree and keeps an eye on the shed door, and waits.
