A few days before I was able to leave Bucha, very early March, I stumbled upon two men struggling with something under a car hood. One of them complained about not having a wrench of a particular size. My first thought was that they're just trying to take off the battery to charge something. I said that I have a toolbox in my car so me and one of them went to fetch it. Once we approached my car, he said that they were actually after the headlight's lightbulb. The man was working in the nearby hospital and they already put together a fixture to illuminate surgeries without power, but the lightbulb was dim. My car is an older simpler model so it was much easier to get it from mine than from his. I happily donated the lightbulb and went on my way. A few days later I was able to drive away to a safer place, a week or so before russians started shooting at every man who dared go outside. I still wonder if these heroes survived the massacre, I really hope they did.
