Jugglers
“I’ve broken arms, legs, ribs. My heart, though? Not yet.”
After eighteen hours rigging fireworks at a Moscow nightclub, Gloria boards a train south. Around the journey gather memories of student life in Kharkiv, first love, and friendships that never quite fit the available categories.
Like a juggler keeping everything in motion, she moves between past and present, love and loss, self-doubt and fleeting inspiration. Her dog Tarasik remains her emotional anchor.
