Bad Roads

Story

Four short stories from the streets of Donbass. An introduction to a world in which chaos rules and humanity has capitulated. East Ukraine, the present day. No-one knows any more who is fighting whom or why. Society has been eroded by the constant violence, both open and covert, by shortages and the lack of a future. A country of mercenaries and opportunists, where nothing remains beyond selfishness and perfidy. A group of girls talk about what they would do for a Gucci bag. A woman accidentally runs over a chicken and is faced with ever greater, more outrageous demands for compensation. Bad Roads shows what happens when people lose their moral compass.
