"Beyond the Silence"
Short mystical stories
“Beyond Silence” is a collection of short, unrelated stories in which the characters find themselves in unusual, often shocking situations. The need to get out of the current situation encourages them to comprehend the circumstances and look for their own way out, which often breaks the mold. However, the question arises whether the decision was made independently or whether there are unknown forces that predict our future path.
This book makes us look at our lives with a completely different, fresh look, as if from the outside. Everything here is like in life: a little romance, adventure... Well, and mysticism at every turn. Haven't you noticed this before?
Excerpts from some works:
"Inna, without even thinking, told him her strange dreams. What if it helps?
When she finished, he thought for a moment and said:
– And when you fell in the first “death”, did you try to take off?
- Like this?
– Spread your arms and fly. This is a dream, just like in fairy tales, everything is possible there!
– Indeed, I’ve never tried to fly...
“So try it, because it’s better to fly down than to never fly at all!”
“Well, adios!” the Devil said goodbye, but for some reason it didn’t come out very kindly.
The spirit touched the tip of his hat as a sign of farewell and, without saying anything, went out into the street, where the blizzard was still raging.
It turns out she was there and didn't tell him anything. However, she never said anything since she stopped loving him. Tears began to flow from his eyes, and his hands dropped the scroll, which fell onto the snow-covered road and, caught by the wind, dissolved in the blizzard."
"I sat down near the road, leaning against a tree, shrank as best I could in an ice jacket and literally fell asleep for a couple of minutes. But something went wrong... my body was completely paralyzed, I no longer felt this tree was mine with my back and didn't hear the noise of the road. It became very warm, so warm that I even wanted to take off my wet jacket. The road became deserted, very quiet. The surrounding grass suddenly burst into flames, and the tree behind me too. All of a sudden, a fire started in this deserted and rain-wet place near the road. Between the bushes, in the fire, I saw hands, as if the dead were crawling out of their graves, but a second later they appeared, they were not dead, they were devils!
They started jumping around me and having fun, as if it was some kind of party. The devils laughed and jumped on me, grabbed me by my hair, face, clothes, but I couldn’t even move. Then they stopped and looked at the hole in the ground that had formed a meter away from me. From there came out another devil, similar to them, but this one was much larger, the size of an adult man, but still the same hooves and naked torso, half man, half goat, and with a crown! He leaned towards me and said: “What do you desire most?” I was still paralyzed and could only whisper: “I want a different life.” He smiled..."
