SMRT PRED BLOKOM

17. 5. 2004 – 6. 6. 2004

Pred našim blokom je umrl človek, ki je živel v sosednjem bloku. Kot mi je zvečer tistega dne opisal sosed, se je zgodilo tako: ob pol desetih zjutraj je šel moški čez cesto na križišču, tam pa ga je po vsej verjetnosti zadela kap. Zgrudil se je na tla in bil na mestu mrtev. Mimoidoči so ga iz ceste ponesli v zavetje pred naš blok. Pokrili so ga z rjuho. Prišli sta njegova žena in sin. Zdravnik je rekel, da tu ni več kaj storiti. Zvečer je bil na tleh samo še krvav madež na robniku. Kri naj bi zaradi pritiska stekla človeku iz nosu. Dež jo je kmalu izpral. Rokavice delavcev, ki so pokojnika odnesli, pa so na živi meji ležale še dolgo.

A DEATH IN FRONT OF OUR BUILDING

17 May 2004 – 6 June 2004

A man who lived in the next-door apartment building died in front of our building. That night a neighbor told me what had happened: At 9:30 in the morning, the man was crossing the street at the intersection and right there had what was in all likelihood a stroke. He slumped to the ground and died on the spot. Passers-by carried him from the street to the walkway in front of our building. They covered him with a sheet. His wife and son arrived. The doctor said there was nothing more that could be done for him. In the evening there was only a blood spot on the curb. Supposedly, his nose had been bleeding from high blood pressure. Rain soon washed the spot away. For a long time, however, the gloves of the workers who had removed the body remained lying on the hedge.
