Recently, I've been thinking a lot about death.

Not only because Russia sends hundreds of threats to my life across the sky every night but mostly because of that.

Yesterday, I saw photos of a missile strike on a building exactly like mine. Exactly. And I realised that if I had been hiding in the bathroom, the way I usually do, I wouldn't have survived. How are you supposed not to think about death after that?

I've stopped scheduling messages for Monday mornings, because Russia might kill me on the night between Saturday and Sunday. Admit it, getting "hi" from someone who's already gone would be creepy.

This residential building is just like mine. It could be mine. Just not this time. Russia is a terrorist state.
