Sveta,
Mykolaiv, Ukraine 2001
Sveta's
sister asked me to help get Sveta to the hospital. I agreed but
Sveta refused to be moved. Instead she begged me for money so
a friend could buy her opium which she would shoot into whatever
veins had not yet collapsed. (I refused, but often question my
decision.) It was obvious that at this point getting a fix was
the only way to ease her pain., Odessa, Ukraine, 2001
