Dima woke most every morning to his spastic cat attacking his feet. He punted the cat off the bed and then slowly rolled himself upright, carefully setting his feet to the floor, wary of another ambush. The power had come back on in the middle of the night so the radio and TV competed for his attention as he moved through his second-floor one-room flat. On his way into the kitchen, he stopped to silence Lady Gaga, and then the Ukrainian version of the sitcom ‘The Nanny.’ The room was divided by a wooden fold-out pane he had devised from lumber found near the complex dumpster. For this, as with all his ideas, he was inspired by a need. In this case the idea was prompted when his daughter became a teenager and needed her privacy. But in recent years it also helped for when his brother-in-law would sometimes stop over, uninvited, to sleep off his vodka binges. In the kitchen he pushed away the yellowed linen curtains and pulled open the windows. He had installed them to open inwards so they would stop banging against the steel bars attached to the window frame outside. Dima didn’t trust the city tap water except to water his wife’s plants along the windowsill. He watered them now, as he did every morning. He set down the watering cup and turned to the kitchen counter to plug in his sheet-metal electrolysis contraption, and poured the tap water into the attached filter. The white and yellow sediment that dropped to the container’s bottom always fascinated him. Dima broke open a packet of oatmeal and poured the clean water into a separate tin pot to boil. He always had warm oatmeal and a banana for breakfast.
