  I let their names fall away a long time ago. They are still here in the graveyard of my soul, dragging their dismembered bodies, cursing and swearing at me, but I don’t hear them. I have mastered the art of pretending the blood dripping from my hair is my crown, my liquid crown. But she came, and like a spade slicing into the earth she is turning up forgotten thing, buried things. I have started to hear their voices. Faintly, but getting closer …

  ‘Aleksandr,’ my father calls from his tall leather armchair that is as big as a throne.

  I leave my toy soldiers in their battle formations on the floor of my room and run to stand next to his knees.

 
‘Yes, papa.’

  I am in awe of papa. He is tall and strong with forearms as meaty as ham shanks. He can lift mama with just one hand as if she weighs nothing more than a bottle of vodka. Not taking his shiny black eyes off me, he brings his large hairy wrist up to his right ear and listens to his watch.

  ‘Looks like my watch has stopped working again.’ He takes his hand away from his ear and puts on his thinking face. ‘Hmmm … I can hear mama making a cake in the kitchen, but it’s not my birthday, and I don’t think it’s hers either.’ He raises his bushy eyebrows. ‘Is it yours?’

  ‘Yes, papa. Yes,’ I cry excitedly.

  ‘Well then, how old are you today, my son?’ he asks.

  ‘Seven. I am seven today,’ I tell him, standing as straight and tall as I can.

  There is a hint of a smile playing about his lips. There is something familiar about that smile. I don’t know why, but the apartment suddenly becomes strangely quiet. Even the noises of mama cooking in the kitchen stop. It is so quiet I can hear papa’s watch ticking. Tick. Tick. Tick. I start to remember something from long ago. Something horrible. Mama is bleeding and I am hiding under the bed. How could I have forgotten such a thing?

  Frightened, I take a step back.

  Then my papa grins at me, and it is the happy grin from before his accident. From when I was still a small boy and we used to huddle up together in his big chair and drink sweet black tea from the same mug. I realize it must have been just another bad dream. Mama was not bleeding and I was not hiding under the bed. I grin back at papa. I love my papa. I’d do anything for him. I wish we could drink tea from the same mug again.

  Papa leans forward. ‘Shall we try on the gloves?’ he whispers.

  I nod happily. When I was born papa bought me a pair of boxing gloves and every birthday since I can remember we try them on to see if they fit. Until now they have not.

  ‘Go fetch the boxing gloves.’

  I run to papa and mama’s room and open the drawer where they are kept. The battered ones that are bigger than my face belong to papa, and the small, bright red ones, shiny with newness are mine. I run back to papa with them.

  ‘Take your T-shirt off,’ Papa says.

  I quickly pull it over my head and the winter air makes me shiver.

  ‘Brrrrr …’ I say, purposely making my teeth chatter and my body shiver.

  Mama would have laughed and called me a clown, but papa doesn’t. I stop chattering my teeth and shivering and stand still while papa puts my gloves on my hands and binds them securely around my wrists.

  ‘Papa, they fit,’ I tell him with a whoop with joy. Finally papa is going to teach me to fight. He has been waiting patiently for this day to begin my training.

  ‘Yes, they do. You are a man now, Aleksandr,’ he says.

  ‘I’m a man now,’ I echo as I look at my gloved hands. Papa says if I train everyday I will become as big and strong as him.

  ‘And what do men do?’

  ‘They fight,’ I shout proudly.

  ‘That’s my boy,’ papa says with a big, happy smile.

  I am so happy my heart feels as if it will burst in my chest.

  ‘I hope you ready to begin your training.’

  ‘Yes, papa,’

  While papa puts on his gloves I hold my fists in front of my face and start dancing on the spot the way the boxers on TV do. Feeling powerful and happy-I’m a man now-I even throw a few jabs in the air with my right hand.

  ‘Are you ready?’ papa asks.

  I stop moving my legs. ‘Yes.’

  ‘Hold your hands up over your head.’

  Immediately I raise both hands.

  ‘The first lesson is learning how to take a punch like a man,’ he says and punches me in the ribs.

  The blow hurts, but I am able to keep my hands up.

  Papa looks me in the eye and nods with approval. I feel a flash of pride. I truly have become a man.

  I take a deep breath and he punches me again. I breathe in sharply. That one was more painful.

  ‘Good,’ he encourages before hitting me again, harder still. Then, before I can recover properly he gets the fourth one in. It knocks the wind out of me and I double over, my hands automatically going around my belly to protect myself.

  ‘Hands up,’ he orders.

  I stare up at him, shocked. I don’t recognize the man glaring at me angrily. This is not my papa.

  ‘Hands up,’ he says sternly. ‘I’m doing this is for your own good.’

  Slowly I straighten my body and raise my hands up.

  ‘Let’s see if I have a son or a daughter,’ he says.

  Then his arm shoots out. Wham. So hard hot tears fill my eyes. I don’t want to cry. I’m a man now.

  ‘If you can’t take this how are you going to be the greatest fighter in the world?’

  Wham.

  ‘For God’s sake, stop sniveling like a little girl, I’m not even using half my strength.’

  Wham.

  He laughs. ‘You think it’s so easy to be the best fighter in the world, huh?’

  Wham.

  This time I fall to the ground, unable to breathe.

  My father flies out of his chair. ‘Get up, you pathetic little sissy,’ he spits furiously.

  He grabs a handful of my hair and pulls me up to my knees. I start crying. He brings his face so close to mine I see the little holes in his skin and the mad light in his shining eyes.

  My mother appears at the doorway. Her face is white. ‘That’s enough now,’ she pleads. ‘Please Igor. That’s enough for today. He’s just a child.’

  My father carries on staring at me, at the tears rolling down my stunned face, at the snot running from my nose, at my shivering body.

  ‘You disgust me,’ he says and lets go of my hair.

  I fall back to the floor, but he is not finished.

  ‘Stand up,’ he orders.

  ‘Please Igor,’ my mother begs. Her voice is shaking with fear.

  ‘I said stand up,’ my father shouts.

  I get on my hands and knees and stand unsteadily. My head feels dizzy, my knees are like jelly, and my stomach and ribs are so full of pain I am sure that I am dying.

  ‘Now fucking put your hands up.’

  I am trying my best not to cry, but my entire body is shuddering with agony as I lift my hands up.

  My father throws a punch. It is so vicious my body goes flying backwards, crashes into a chair, and both the chair and I slide along the floor and slam into the wall.

  ‘Get up and fight,’ papa screams.

  Whimpering, and twisted into a heap, I stare bewildered at my mother. She is running towards me, but she never reaches me. My father grabs her by the hair and jerks her back. I see her mouth open, but no sound come out. He throws her and she goes hurtling backwards and slams into the wall with the most awful thud. Winded and shocked she lays propped up against the wall. Mama legs are open wide and I can see her underwear.

  Papa hisses at mama like a snake and calls her a bad word. ‘Stay out of this you, witch. This is for his own good.’

  Then he turns towards me. I can see mama beginning to crawl on the floor.

  ‘Don’t hurt him, Igor,’ she snarls.

  Papa freezes, his face twisted and ugly. He turns around, goes back to her, picks her up as if she is a doll, and smashes her face against the floor. Blood gushes out of her nose. I can’t breathe. I can’t say single word. Gasping sounds come from my mouth.

  ‘Don’t interfere,’ Papa says as he kicks mama again and again in her poor belly. She curls up into a ball and doesn’t make a single sound.

  ‘Mama!’ I scream again and again, but nobody pays any attention to me.

  I get up even though my whole body feels the way my finger felt when it was crushed under a rock, and rush screaming towards my mama. ‘Stop, papa. Stop. You killing mama.’

  Papa grabs me as I lunge towards him.

  ‘Scream will you?’ he bellows, and kaboom, punches me in the
side of head. My whole body sails backwards. Then there is no more pain. Just blackness…

  What you want baby, I got.

  Supreme excellence consists in breaking

  I turn the handle and open the door without knocking. Only one lamp is lit and the room is full of long, still shadows. I can make him out sitting fully clothed on the armchair by the window. His legs are crossed at the ankles and resting on the low glass table in front of him.

  Our eyes meet.

  His are luminous, like that of a wolf. My heart lurches and suddenly my knees feel weak. I close the door and stand leaning against it.

  ‘You shouldn’t have kidnapped my sister. It was a despicable thing to do,’ I say, my voice making ripples in the heavy silence.

  He doesn’t move. ‘How else would I have made you come to me?’

  ‘What you did was wrong. My sister had nothing to do with us and you made her suffer.’

  ‘If only all the suffering in the world could be that mild,’ he says callously.

  ‘My mother went out of her mind with worry. She is old and she didn’t deserve that.’

  ‘Yeah? I didn’t deserve to feel the way I did either.’

  I sigh. We’ll be going in circles. ‘Anybody else would have just asked me out.’

  ‘I didn’t want to ask you out. I wanted to steal you away and own you; do whatever I wanted with you.’

  ‘Why?’

  He leans his head back against the back of the chair. ‘I don’t know why. I just knew I had to have you. From the moment I laid eyes on you.’

  ‘That’s no excuse for what you did.’

  ‘It is you who is trying to find an acceptable excuse for me. I don’t need one. I don’t wait for anybody to give me what I want. I just take it. I wanted you and I took you. Now you are mine until I say otherwise and heaven help anybody or anything that comes between you and me.’

  ‘You talk of me as if I am your possession.’

  ‘You are.’

  ‘I’m not. I’m a person,’ I say, but my voice has neither strength nor conviction because I am drawn to something sad and lost in him. He is like a big, still lake. Full of secrets. Underneath the surface I can see things floating around in the darkness. They are as pale as corpses and they frighten me. I want this man so much it hurts to imagine even for a second that I might not be able to call him mine. That I’ll just be another body he used for a month.
