A week afterwards the band will go back to the summer cottage, but they don’t see a trace of the fourth boy. Cranberry blues still fly through the window – although the window was closed because of them. They‘ve carved holes with smooth edges through the glass – fly into the interior of the house, spread out there for a moment, then past the wooden bars to the right, and finally to the living room, to the bookshelves – the group swarms out again, and lose themselves in an unexplainable way between the books.
The rustling of wings, like ashes.
Empty bottles, torn-apart pieces of paper, a single kopek near the walls. No trace of him – it doesn’t seems as if he came here to sleep. In the back room there’s a clam phone, which they in any case check: 13 unanswered calls, and keys.
A cat appears at the window, disappears immediately.
The boys try to call. The moment the phone gets a signal, the cranberry blues multiply into thousands in the room, destroying visibility entirely, the boys flail their arms about, hunched over they look for a way out of the house, they try to call again in the yard, get a signal – and although it is during the day, immediately when the clam phone is closed, the sun gets dark, the cranberry blues ice over in the air, then fall down on the ringing sand, and fill the space above the distance fields with ringing.
The fields become quiet immediately, from afar, above the forests, there is an answer, how the sound on the dark sea calmly, calmly fades. Then dead quiet arrives.
The boys lock the door quickly – and as they turn towards the gravel road with the car, the sun rises again, and the air suddenly begins to shine, full of all kinds of cranberry blue tones.
