Anna Seghers. Transit (№ 420853)

Perhaps you have heard the tale of the dead man? This dead man was waiting in the afterlife for the Lord to decide his fate. I waited a year, ten years, a hundred years. Then he began to beg to finally decide his fate. He could no longer bear this expectation. They answered him: "What are you actually waiting for, you have been in hell for a long time." Here it is, hell - a stupid waiting for no one knows what.
