better to have a bitter happiness than... a gray, dull life. Perhaps, I thought it all up later. But then he approached me and said: "Come with me." And I did, and never regretted it. Never. We had a lot of sorrow, a lot of fear, and a lot of shame. But I never regretted it, and I never envied anyone. It's just our fate, our life, that's how we are. And if we haven't had our misfortunes, we wouldn't have been better off. It would have been worse. Because in that case, there wouldn't have been any happiness. And there wouldn't have been any hope. I love your eyes, my darling friend, Their play, so passionate and bright'ning, When a sudden stare up you send, And like a heaven-blown lightning, It'd take in all from end to end. But there's more that I admire: Your eyes when they're downcast In bursts of love-inspired fire, And through the eyelash goes fast A somber, dull call of desire...

A visit of inhabitants of the cosmic abyss? One way or another, our small country has seen the birth of a miracle - the Zone. We immediately sent troops there. They haven't come back. Then we surrounded the Zone with police cordons... Perhaps, that was the right thing to do. Though, I don't know..." From an interview with Nobel Prize winner, Professor Wallace. Why did you take my watch? Where are you going, I'm asking you? You gave me your word and I believed you. All right, you're not thinking about yourself, but what about us? Did you think about your child? She's just getting used to you, and you start it again! You've made an old woman of me. You've ruined my life. Not so loud, you'll wake up Monkey. I can't wait for you forever. I'm going to die! You wanted to start working! You've been promised a normal human work! I'll be back soon. You'll be back to prison! Though this time you'll get ten years, not five! And for ten years you will have neither your Zone, nor anything! And I'll be dead in the meantime. Oh God, for me it's prison everywhere! - Let me go! - No! Let go, I said! Go! And may you rot there! Be damned the day when I met you, bastard! God himself has cursed you by giving you this child! And me too, because of you, jerk! My dear, our world is hopelessly boring. Therefore, there can be no telepathy, or apparitions, or flying saucers, nothing like that. The world is ruled by cast-iron laws, and it's insufferably boring. Alas, those laws are never violated. They don't know how to be violated. So don't even hope for a UFO, that would have been too interesting. And how about the Bermuda Triangle? You're not going to deny... I am. There is no Bermuda Triangle. There's only Triangle ABC that equals Triangle A-prim, B-prim, C-prim. Do you feel the boredom contained in this assertion? To live in the Middle Ages was interesting. Every home had its house-spirit, and every church had its God. People were young! Now every fourth is an old person. It's so boring, my angel. But you said that the Zone was the product of a superior civilization... It must be boring, too, all those laws, triangles, and no house spirits, and no God, that's for certain. Because if God is also a triangle, then I don't know what to think. It's for me! Great! Goodbye, my dear friend. This lady was so kind as to agree to go with us to the Zone. She's a very courageous woman. Her name is... I beg
