Summary/Abstract: That late evening, almost night in fact, they were waiting at the bus stop under the bridge for the last bus. There were six of them. A group of four young people standing under the only neon street light that was working, casting its cold, pale light into the surrounding darkness, where a little way off a middle-aged couple, man and wife, were sitting at either end of a bench. All of them, including the two on the bench, were sipping drinks. The young people were in high spirits; no doubt they had just emerged from one of Bratislava's cheery pubs, hidden somewhere underground, and the married couple were really tipsy, slumped on the bench in a state of stupor to which they had been driven not only by alcohol, but also by the difficult decision that would seriously affect their lives.
