Alexei’s job was to bridge a gap of thousands of miles and several decades. His task was to create the perfect Russian subtitles—.
The theater in downtown Moscow was dim, smelling faintly of buttered popcorn and old velvet. In the projection booth, Alexei stared at his monitor. On the screen was the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley, gyrating his hips in full 1970s glory during the legendary Aloha from Hawaii concert.
"Говорят мудрецы: спешка — удел дураков..." Better. It had a poetic meter that matched the music.
Alexei leaned forward, his fingers hovering over the keyboard.
Alexei smiled and leaned back in his chair. The King had finally learned to speak Russian.
