Pytor pulled his coat tighter around himself and stepped through the doors of the station, outside, into the snow.
Slowly he descended the steps to the street bellow him, ignoring the cold. The cold had never bothered him, not even as a child. In Russia, you just learned to accept it.
He reached the bottom of the steps and looked up, for the first time taking in the surrounding streets and the few people that were out at this time of the evening. He brought his hands up to his face and sheltered the cigarette in his mouth from the wind as he lit it.
He took a long drag and once again focused his attention on the street and its activities.
17 years had passed since he'd last set foot in Moscow, yet after all he'd been through it felt as if he'd never left.
People passed him; no one paid him any attention. To them he was just one of them, but he knew deep down that in those 17 years he'd become an outsider. A stranger to all of them, if he opened his mouth now and spoke to them in his mother tongue, he knew many of them, upon hearing his accent, would treat him as they would any other stranger.
Yet this city was still his home.
He took a last drag of his cigarette and flicked the remains to the pavement bellow, grinding it into the snow with his right boot.
He sighed and then took in a huge breath of the icy air, turned to his right and began walking down the street.
17 years he thought. If only he could have them back.
And walking along those streets, once again he was lost in thought.
About halfway across one of the many bridges crossing the Moscow River, he started to take in his surroundings once again. It was getting late, and the sun was almost down. He stopped in the center of the bridge and turned to look out over the icy water.
Catching a glimpse of his reflection in the dark waters, standing there alone, it finally hit him and his emotions took over. A single tear made its way down his cheek.
He never cried.
Reaching into his coat, he removed his wallet from his breast pocket, and from it, a single photo - all that remained of his previous life.
Taking one long last look at it, he let it slip from his fingers, into the river bellow and once again, lost in thought, he was on his way again.
Taking lefts and rights, he walked through the icy streets in a daze. The light getting less and less. Night was slowly approaching.
And then, something brought him out of his trance. Stopping and looking to his right, down an alley, he noticed three boys, two armed with clubs and one hurling stones.
Taking two steps forward, their prey came into his view - cowering next to a bin, was a stray dog.
One of the boy's clubs connected with the poor animals protruding, skeletal rib cage. The dog didn't make a sound, but its eyes, wide open with terror, displayed its pain to anyone watching.
Pytor's shadow entered the ally and the boys were gone.
He approached the dog and knelt down, putting a knee into the snow, dark maroon with the dog's blood.
The stray began to whine.
Carefully, he lifted the animal and stood up. Cradling him, like you would a sick baby.
"Well boy, it seems as if no one loves you either."

I'm bored of this now.
From yesterday.
Stranger in Moscow is the third track on my HIStory album (You can buy it from Amazon, it's good!), the album I released after I was wrongly accused of molesting children! So I deceided to write a story about it.
I am not an alter MaximusPadus, I am Michael Jackson, I have proved this here http://www.ubersite.com/m/53856. If you give me your email address, I will send you some photos from the last slumber party I had at my ranch, ask Bart, he was there, it was "fun".
It seems though that my Uberchums are more interested in hearing what I do in my private time though.
That's great, I can now tell the people who normaly write my songs for me and 99% of the recording comunity that they no longer need to come up with new stories for me to post on Ubersite seeing as you all hate them!
Don't worry, I still love you all!
Your friend,
Michael

Sorry, my pet monkey, Bubbles, posted this. I've read it, it's very dissapointing, children only feature briefly in this tale. I have spanked Bubbles and sent him to my bed.
