Gist Statement

The snow was falling gently on the streets of Moscow. Passers by walked along hurriedly wrapped up in their thick overcoats. Sasha Uhov watched the scene down below lost in thought and then turned his attention back to the doctor.
"Well thank you for telling me this new." He said ironically. "Its just what i needed."
The doctor looked away embarrassed.
"I know you're not really grateful. To be told that you've got cancer just after your wife Sashkin has left you, is not the best thing in the world."
Sasha stared at his gaudy shirt hanging on the back of the chair in front of him. The more he stared, the more the colours swirled and swiveled in his head until suddenly he exploded. He grabbed the closest thing to him, a beautiful candelabra on the doctors desk, and hurled it across the room.
