Wind as-if their fingers hands touched line coniferous trees, rushing to mysterious castle Astartes, hidden from prying eyes people and intended for life in offense wizards Simultage – an ancient of the order guardians a white magic. At the gates of the castle of Astartes, built in the Gothic style by the guardians of the order, stood the guardian Venos and the Butler Irus, waiting for the coming rain and watching the blood-pink sunset on the horizon of the secret forest, which not everyone dares to go, because it is inhabited by a merciless evil that wants to destroy the order Simultage.
"Do you hear?" Venos asked Irus anxiously, staring at his wristwatch as if he were expecting an intruder.
"Master, what must I hear?" Irus asked in bewilderment, feeling the evening chill and adjusting his black-and-white striped apron.
Venos said mysteriously, the pupils of His eyes flaming.
"Sir, you are right! Irus agreed, pointing to a flo
"Maria, do you hear?" - the voice in the burning flames of the fire. Maria woke up and was frightened, because she saw no one around her. Next to her was a fire burning on the sandy shore of the sea of Galilee with scattered stones on it, and in the morning sky the stars were slowly disappearing. But the voice kept talking: "The time has come!" You must go! "Where?" Maria asked, not sure who she was talking to. "Go and find what you're looking for!" the voice said. "Find what?" Maria asked, but the voice was gone and did not answer her questions. Frightened, Maria did not know what to do, but intuitively she felt that she should listen to the unknown voice. What are we looking for? We seek happiness? Or are we seeking the fulfillment of evil desires? What is happiness? Without happiness we are nothing, like dying candles, disappearing in the night, and in happiness we Shine like stars, illuminating the path of others,
The first day. Let there be light! "Does anyone know where we are?" – what is it? " asked a young man dressed in standard clothing for the place where everyone was: comfortable white shoes, a white t-shirt, and white pants. "That's the last question I care about," said another young man, looking up at the sky. Around them, the world has not just changed, but even the world within them has changed to the very roots of their essence. The vast gardens, the residential buildings, and the perfect social order indicated that they were in Paradise. However, everyone could not remember how they got to this place, where there is no murder, theft, anger, envy, pride and despondency. It is as if the real world has been replaced, including people, who now embody the ancient Greek ideals about man. Everyone dreamed of this world where everyone is happy and no one knows what death is, as an inevitable evil that can destroy anything – even hope. How
First floor. Waste "Oh, it's a good thing I managed to get a couple of broken chairs from the dump, otherwise we would have died of cold and couldn't have cooked a meal, "said Fierce to the members of the Scum gang when he came from the dump and started warming his hands over the fire. Lute was the leader of a gang of "Scum" who lived on the first floor of an eleven-story building without a name. No one knows how to get out of here and everyone knows that if you want to get to the floor above, you will have to pay a lot of money. Therefore, this could only be a dream. Although there are legends throughout the building that there will be someone who will pass all the floors, and will be on the last floor, to reveal the truth about where they are, and why this building has no Windows. Therefore, everyone on their floor believes in the local religion that is spread on their floor and explains what is happening here and why everyone is dying. Trushkin, throw it i
First meeting. America Alexey came out of the entrance and heard a madman shouting from the fifth floor: "go to hell with your Democracy!". Then Alexey dodged a slipper flying at him, which the madman from the fifth floor threw out of the window. Alexey thought: "After all, indeed! What is Democracy? How do our people understand this word?". He decided to ask ordinary people on the street about what they say every single day in the news reports on TV, as if they want to hypnotize us so that we believe in the reality of its existence. The first thing he did was go to the grocery store to talk to someone about it. He walked over to the merchandiser and spoke to him: "Excuse my curiosity, are you a stranger?" - True. What do you want? "Where did you come from?" - from America. "How lucky I am! Have you heard of such a word as Democracy? - Never… "Was it a joke?" "No, this is the first time I've hea
- In the arms of her arms I longed for love, but the raindrops that dripped on my face hurried me to meet the soul of the southern forest – the very place where our first meeting took place. Still, the flying castle towered over the forest, and the fiery sunset sought to banish light from the world. There was never any distance between us, because the Sun was burning in our hearts. In it, we discovered the vast shores of the Pacific ocean. In it, a string of constellations separated us from the void beyond the Universe. It had a universe that cherishes the memories of love that conquered the abyss. I fear the abyss more than anything else in the world, because in death there is a hope that everything does not end with it, and the abyss closes the door to another world, because in the abyss we contemplate the crumbling shining sand disappearing in the darkness of the split Universe. The universe split in two when I died. Now I can watch her and enjoy her life, her happiness, her hope
"Sitting in my chair, I stared into the distance at everything that mattered to me in a world where everything was supposedly possible. I'll tell you what-no one can jump above their heads. If you think you've exceeded your limit, then you didn't know what you were capable of. But perhaps I'd better tell you about a story where something incredible happened. I was an ordinary person until a certain point – the moment when my world turned upside down-Roman began his story, which was interviewed by a journalist for National Geographic magazine. - Tell us more about what happened to you? - Smoking a cigarette, the journalist asked. "Something happened to me that would have come as a surprise to many. Everyone is sure that I was just lucky, but I am convinced that there is no luck. There is a power above us that leads us to realize that we are not alone. "Are you talking about God now?" "Yes, about him. "Why do you think there is one?" "If
At the dawn of 3001 ad, geneticists discovered a gene codenamed "33". The name of the gene is named after Jesus Christ. The "33" gene modified the human species. Now people have acquired new properties to adapt to the new environment on the planet Earth. Properties were very diverse: from telepathy to an arbitrary increase in body temperature by a person. Therefore, the society decided to strengthen control over people with the help of a special law enforcement service "Guardians". However, mass riots did not decrease, but on the contrary-increased due to new human opportunities. - Center, guard 203 at the crime scene. - Center hears. Start investigating the murder scene, and then report the results. - Obey. Guard 203-Anactus began examining the victim's body. A woman of thirty-three years of age was killed in a special way. The killer cut the victim's body into several parts and made a geometric shape from these parts of the body - a rectangle. The v
The crackle of burning wood in the eternal fire was heard by the tired traveler Rodion and his friends in misfortune, lying on the damp earth and looking at the eternal fire and the dark starry sky of the universe. The universe will not tell about people living under its wing for millions of years, calling into question the truth of human history. "Oh, who would have known it would end like this?" -Rodion, who was a middle-aged man with dark brown hair, a plump build, and dressed in a light, inexpensive, shabby t-shirt and classic trousers, stammered in frustration and contentment. In General, he looked like a non-distressed classical philosopher. "Who would have thought that human civilization began when the first APE pointed out the sun to the others?" Mikhail, who was a middle-aged man dressed in strict and not angry second-hand clothes, reasoned with surprise on his face. "And she was eaten for this discovery!" – continued the thought of Michael and
"Grandfather, tell me about the time you kissed your grandmother on the Eiffel Tower!""Roma, This is the tenth time you've heard it!"- You can listen to it forever!"Well, then, don't miss this moment. You usually fall asleep when I finish telling this story."I promise!" I won't miss it!- Arranged…The blue-painted clouds, the secret-hiding leaves, the bench creaking with age, and the lanterns lighting up the Moscow night did not foretell my meeting with the strange woman who was walking in the Park. Gorky with an umbrella in his right hand, although it was not raining. I stood next to aspen and smoked a cigarette, not knowing how this night would change my whole life. A self-confident and narcissistic young man with dark hair and gray eyes. I did not yet understand what true love is and what it takes to reach the highest point of the sky in Paris. I tossed the coin up and looked at which side it would fall. I saw an eagle on the
- Access to Detonom will open soon! Peter, who is a virtual reality user of Detonom and lives in the real city of the same name Detonom, told Jack. Peter talked to Jack on a microimplant that was implanted in the ear of every resident of Detonoma and replaced the phone in 2500."I've had enough!" I'm taking a vacation! Jack replied, starting his regular weekday with a complaint and lying in bed in his real-city apartment Detonom. – Because of our lives in virtual reality Detonom we don't know about real ocean, sand and real women! Oh, probably, how wonderful to see a sunrise on the ocean with the best cocktail from the bartender and in the arms of a beautiful woman!"Forget it! This is a privilege for the chosen ones – for those who have reached the highest level in virtual reality Detonom or for those who have won the quiz. You know everything! Peter said."Oh, a dream! - with disappointment inhaled and exhaled air Jack.- I
Milana's umbrella pulled her toward the Sun, as if it wanted Milana to touch the star that covered the earth with the light of ISIS. The intersection of the three roads that led to the bend in her destiny presented her with an inescapable choice. A choice that filled Milana's soul with an answer. The answer to the question of who will meet her on one of these roads reveals even less the secret of her dreams. In dreams, where she felt the love of an angel who kept the peace of her soul. It may be easier to forgive a person than to accept and love them again. Milan's love is on a different continent, but how far they are from each other, because pain does not bring people closer, but pushes them away from each other, like negatively charged particles that do not attract each other. Milana entered the road in the middle of the intersection. She walked through the desert of a parallel world, where she was met by a young man outwardly, but an old man at heart. "Who are you?" 
Chapter 1. The beginning of madnessAny story begins with birth, but the story of this madman arose long before his birth. He could not even imagine that it would happen to him, not even a tragedy, but a Comedy. Although for him, even Comedy has become a tragedy. Is it possible for a person to survive in the circumstances in which he found himself? Is it possible to remain human if everyone despises you-even those you love? Is it possible to go all the way to the final – to the death? This will be told by the madman himself, because he has no other choice. He will tell the story of his life, not because he wants to be pitied. He wants his story to be heard by people who have lost heart and stopped believing in people. Believe me – in fact, there is something to fight for and live for. Everything that this madman will tell you, there is not a drop of fiction in it. Everything was true, and everything that happened to him was crazy. So, I will begin my story best
"Do you know what the devil's real name is?"- No."The devil's true name is the divider.""What does he share?"- Soul of man."What are you getting at?""Let's watch the white birds of the world flying above us." As you can see, all the birds are looking for food. As soon as they find it, a force unknown to us appears in the birds, causing them to peck at their fellows. This force is called differently by different peoples. I'm talking about the devil, but to be more precise, we are talking about the Russian devil.- What is Russian is different from the devil of the devil, which I imagine other people?- The Russian devil is a devil who does not hide his true face. He openly declares who he is. Not only does he have no conscience, but he claims that we should forget about conscience. He asks that we be tempted and fulfill our most secret desires."White monk, in other words, you mean that his Kingdom has already
- It's a cold night. - You're right… – What is your name? - Janey. - Your Name? - Lynx. "Tell me more about how you went back in time to the stone age, and what happened to you." – I found myself in a cave where apes painted animals on the walls with charcoal and limestone. I heard the howling of wolves, the strong wind, and the crunch of snow under my feet as I climbed out of the cave. The only source of light, you understand, was the moon. In the forest of the wild world the eyes of the monster I had seen for the first time in my life sparkled. It was a horrible smell of sulphur, and his eyes burned with a blue flame. Black tar ran down the monster's body. The body was more like a Scarecrow with a bearskin. Sharp stone fangs protruded behind his ears. A moment later it was breathing down my back as I tried to escape, and it clung to my back like a wolf's mouth. Then I lost consciousness and came to myself at the edge of
- Alexey, have you heard about the garbage reform that is being discussed on TV? - Lydia Pavlovna, No, I haven't heard, but they already know how to rid the planet of millions of tons of garbage? - Here I just go to the Moscow city Duma to our Deputy Ivashchenko to find out what they came up with for such a reform. "Do you think they'll let you in, explain you, and give you a good word?" Perhaps they think more about how to fill their wallets as much as possible. "Where are you going later?" - For a business meeting… Inspired, Alexey, dressed in a luxurious black jacket, black jumper, black trousers and white shoes, went not just to a business meeting, but to a meeting with the woman of his dreams. They agreed to meet in an expensive cafe near the Mendeleevskaya metro station. Passers-by strolled under the lights of Moscow at night, and just before entering the cafe, Alexey lit a cigarette and gave the homeless man a hundre
