The Lazarus Project -- Aleksandar Hemon

This section of the story starts off with a violent assault on Lazarus's family. Lazarus gets beat up severely, and everyone else in the family gets beaten as well. Olga blacks out, and when she awakens, she thinks that everyone is dead. Roza then gets up and resets the table with any unbroken dishes she can find, and sits down at the table. Olga thinks this is odd considering what had just happened. The next section begins with Brik conversing with a woman, Iuliana. They talk about where maybe Iuliana would go if she left, and then about the pogrom. Brik then recalls a time when Mary had had a gunshot victim die on the table during surgery. Brik questions her about what it was like when he died and how she felt. Mary doesn't respond and gets angry. Finally the apologize to each other, and Mary comments that "'When a patient dies,' she explained, rather unhelpfully, 'I feel that he is dead.'" Towards the end of that section, Brik and Rora beat up their chauffeur in the bathroom, and Brik breaks his hand.
