  • The Shutter by Miloš Urban
    The Shutter by Miloš Urban Translated by Dominik Jun CLICK Eyes adrift in the early evening and around them a face. Two murky beads illuminated by white light. A rushing figure, weaving between the coats and jackets of a bustling Náměstí Republiky, filled with people flowing in all directions and then back again. Matěj stopped and studied her. Someone bumped into him, but Matěj was the one who offered an apologetic “excuse me”. She disappeared behind a man’s shoulder before reappearing again, now in profile, as if showing off her nose. Did she notice him? Perhaps she saw how he couldn’t help but gaze in her direction. But he could only see a single eye – the left one. It had long black eyelashes, and twinkled with the reflection of Christmas tree that the girl was mysteriously studying. She threw a brief quizzical look directly at Matěj before hastily turning away and heading towards the shopping centre. A passing tram hooted in her direction, forcing her to abruptly stop mid-step while broadcasting a guilty grin. Sitting inside a glass cabin, the infuriated female tram driver slapped her hand on her head for all to see. The girl’s eyes once again found him amidst the mass of people, and when they spotted Matěj’s evident relief that nothing had happened to her – that she had not become a fatality, that her legs and toes weren’t laying dismembered on the tracks, sliced off by the passing tram – then both threw each other a smile. Their mouths widened, teeth exposed.
