Private Moscow Novels & Stories

The word itself felt forbidden, like saying it out loud made it more real. Moscow In a command center deep beneath Red Square, the footage played again on repeat. A Russian admiral crossed himself without realizing it. “No missile strike. No radiation. Just fire.” Another officer whispered, “It’s Judgment Day.” Tokyo On a crowded Shinjuku street, commuters stood frozen before a massive digital billboard. The live feed showed the Chimera climbing the walls of Rhodes, its lion head spitting fire across the city. The crowd that had moments ago bustled with laughter and chatter now stood motionless, eyes wide, faces pale in neon light.

Rocco’s hand never left my thigh—silent anchor. Moscow greeted us at dawn: gray skies, exhaust plumes rising from idling trucks, the Kremlin’s red walls distant but looming.

They would not end well no matter who they pissed off. "Several hundred billion dollars in total assets? Wow, that's cool!" Erhard looked at those old greaseballs, who flipped to the other side of the fence faster than a book can turn its pages, then looked at Evelyn's somber face, and growled at Susanne. "Susanne, there's one thing you missed. We're in Mosgas City now, not Ol' Mare. "A few hundred billion dollars in assets for a small city like Ol' Mare is truly remarkable! For Mosgas City, I'm sure at least five out of ten families can easily beat the Chesire family!"

Moscow was another warped kind of creature. While Houston had been hot and brash, Moscow was cold, ancient, and unreadable. The power here wasn't traded and sold on open markets; it was buried deep within the Kremlin walls and behind the shut-up boardrooms of state-owned conglomerates. It was a thick, heavy atmosphere of history and paranoia.

He glanced out the window at the towering skyline, then back at me, his eyes momentarily softening. “This is Moscow, India,” he stated. “The most developed part of the nation. It is where we can find what we need.” He returned immediately to his call, the wall of Russian clicking back into place. We came to a stop in the shadow of a colossal, black glass skyscraper that seemed to claw its way into the gray sky. This wasn’t a hidden safehouse; it was a fortress of commerce, a beacon of brazen, visible power. “End of the line. Enzo, take the boy,” Fabiano said, opening his door.

Lexus was reluctant to answer the assistant's question. Now, the two of them have begun to set foot along the Old Arbat road which stretches for 1 km. Seth turned his head to his right and left. Winter decoration came into view. "Awesome! Young Master, what a beautiful city of Moscow!" he exclaimed in awe. "Russia is one of the countries in Europe that has 4 seasons, Seth. Spring, summer, autumn and winter. Of course, the local government will arrange the city according to the ongoing season."

My friend and coach was not a very talkative person, so when he enquired about me, I was worried. ‘You okay Mishka?’ he said full of concern. ‘Sure, why?’ ‘You’ve been looking miserable since we got here’ he said. ‘No, maybe I’m still a little jet-lagged’ I lied. A crooked, knowing smile formed across his face, but I didn’t give him the satisfaction of reading me. I nodded towards the empire state building up ahead. The tallest building I had ever been into was the Federation tower in Moscow which was only slightly shorter than the Empire State building. As we got admission into the tower, Dmitry did not relent to his previous subject. While crammed into an elevator with elderly American tou

A driver met me outside arrivals, a silent man with a thick neck who spoke only when necessary. We drove through the city in near silence, the heater blasting warm air that still could not fully chase the chill from my fingers. Snow fell steadily, blanketing the streets in white.
