Stepan Morozov

a truck stop town on the Trans-Siberian Highway

Stepan Morozov grew up in a secluded Siberian truck-stop town, deeply intertwined with the rhythmic monotony and rare camaraderie brought by trucker stories over crackling radios. His grandfather, a retired telegraph operator, instilled a reverence for the fragile communication network that bound their far-out escarpment to the world. Ghosts of loneliness latch onto Stepan like icicles, especially with the encroaching threat of modernization eclipsing his craft and purpose.
