This is a tight and well-formulated short story with a significant twist at the end.  The story focuses on a group of neighbors who live crowded together in an apartment in the Soviet Union.  Slowly the police have been arriving to arrest the building's residents.  We see the action through the eyes of an elderly woman who is tired, of communism and the privations it has brought.I really enjoyed this story, and I quickly became invested in the lives of the characters.  This is most definitely a *short* story, and I think there was some room for the author to make it a bit longer.
