 SPACE ODYSSEYS 4 or THE DREAM EVOKED BY THE CRAZY MARINE'S STORY
===================================================================================


...winter night...snow is slowly covering the earth, eating the darkness...looking through
the window  I see that some of the snowflakes are red. Little by little their number is 
increasing and eventually the whole outside world is wrapped in a bloody shawl... 
I know it's a sign. Time has come.

I am fingering the computer mouse like ages ago people were handling quills. Slowly i am 
coming back to my Space Odysseys. Thus in the previous chapter I mentioned the marines who
had been rescued from Stroggos. They were absolutely insane. They were incessantly bleating
and shouting "Kill me!" and "Let me out!". It seemed they were certainly crazy. 
Have you ever been among madmen for long time ? At first you are curious listening to their
drivelling. In a while you start to make out some sense in their words. Next day you feel 
like you becoming psychotic.

I lent my ear to one of the marines. It turned out he had been incessantly recounting the 
story related to an ominous Stroggos' experiment.Those bastards had made injections of drugs
to our guys and transformed them into zombies. Poor chaps had to kill one another. They were
given weapons to murder other inmates including aliens from unknown civilizations who were 
also among prisoners. This game was called "Death Match". Only a madman could contrive it...

To save the remnants of my mind, I am taking sleeping pills plunging into darkness...
and I am having a dream.
