She was sure she found a carpet… but someone inside was moaning and moving.
The weather turned out warm and sunny, and Sima decided to take advantage of the opportunity — to air out her “pillows” and “blanket.” For pillows, she used paper bags stuffed with sawdust, and for a blanket, an old wall carpet with a deer pattern. She carefully stretched it on a rope between the trees,…

They dropped two little ones on me, and I raised them as my own. What a ride it was!
A knock on the door sounded just as I was about to toss another batch of burnt pancakes into the trash.

I’ll marry the first woman I meet. A wealthy bachelor picked up a stranger with scars by the highway

The air smelled…

And he, as always, met her with the same piercing, full of hostility gaze. Once, a long time ago, before she foolishly got involved in that situation and ended up behind bars,…

The wife rasped, “It’s either me or that horror with the stroller!” — But the husband had already made up his mind.
— Where are you going at this hour? — came a sharp voice from the kitchen. — As if to some cacophonous parade! From the doorway came the familiar smell of fried potatoes and the faint scent of old resentment. Nadya appeared, dressed in her favorite apron with faded sunflowers, hands on her hips, her…

They invited the cleaning lady to dance, thinking it would be funny… but her first turn made everyone forget how to breathe.
In a small office on the outskirts of the city, where only a few dozen people worked, each day was much like the one before.

Lera pressed herself tightly against the wall and tried to breathe as quietly as possible.

Darling, the apartment doesn’t belong to me—it’s Mom’s, so you can file for divorce,” Yana said calmly to Dima.
Are you sure?” the realtor reviewed the documents once more.“A deed of gift is serious. It will be difficult to reverse later.” “I’m sure,” Yana signed. Her hand did not tremble—she had decided everything. The May morning bathed the notary office in sunlight. The air conditioner hummed peacefully on the windowsill, and the reception area…

Ivan stood near the subway exit, pressed against the wall to shield himself from the persistent autumn rain that had been lightly and insistently scratching at the skin and clothes of passersby for over an hour.
