   Summary

   Valery thought he did everything exactly how it was supposed to go. But rather than wait to die of the radiation damage, he took matters into his own hands.
   When he wakes up, alive and well-rested, the next morning, he thinks it might have all been a very intense, very long nightmare.
   The telephone proves him so, so wrong.
