A prisoner in a Soviet labour camp lives through one ordinary day of freezing roll calls and backbreaking bricklaying, hoarding small wins like a hidden bread ration. By his own count it has been a good day, and that is the horror of it.
Three thousand six hundred and fifty-three days. The three extra days were for leap years.
The blurb, the gist, the why of the day and the work itself are in the app. The first button needs it on this device; the second gets it there.
