Hedgehog burrow

Order

He put out a faintly smoking cigarette into a black singed dot on the wall. Faint smell of burning wood reached his nostrils as the man leaned back and looked out a decrepit window, empty frame capturing his tan face.

Defy

With a flash of blinding light an explosion rumbled in the distance, shattering the only remaining window pane in the dilapidated two-story house.

Destination

Heavy metal wheels rolling along the tracks, a monotonous rhythmic tone clanking with a soothing, eerie repetitiveness.

Beside you

I've had my pitiful dreams and worthless ambitions.

Borscht

He is one of my good friends. It's a shame we don't talk much today, but a few years before we were really close.

Date

Mind wanders

Anxiety is not a joke.

Breakfast

Getting through a day, every day.

Gone

Set

He swung the hammer with all his might against the brick wall and it shuddered violently, but didn't give.

Wax man

"If you're too chicken - I'll do it", - Christine said, irritated, standing up and wrenching the gas lighter out of Maddie's hand. Christine was fuming. It's just a stupid story, it's never going to work out. Witch's rituals, divination, spirits - what nonsense.

Muse

I was struggling getting the wheelchair over the doorway threshold. As the wheels gave way, I started pulling the chair in the sunlit garden, the soft rubber wheels touching the pavement still wet after a morning rain.

Лилия

Дверь на балкон была открыта настежь и, подставив лицо под сквозящий воздух, я сладко затянулся первой сигаретой за день. За окном играло яркое солнечное утро, лучи света падали на ламинированный пол и отражались прямо в глаза. Я лениво прищурился и смотрел на пролетающих мимо птиц, завидуя их грации и свободе в бризе, их беззаботному распорядку дня.

Я с тобой

Хочешь, я покажу тебе своё любимое место во всей вселенной?

Clay

A brief thud and a high-pitched crack shot though the cabin. He stood there, befuddled, looking at the broken pieces of what have been a clay plate just seconds ago.

New Home

He placed an unreasonably priced sandwich on a table and sat down. The woman he was with smirked at it and cut it in two, sharing other half with the man.

Auckland arrival

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're arriving at Auckland airport of New Zealand. Welcome to Aotearoa.", - only thing I could discern from crackling and spitting sounds made over airplane speakers.

Видимое

Звук дверного звонка раздался глухим эхом из-за толстой дубовой двери. Я отступил пару шагов назад и поднял взгляд вверх. Особняк возвышался надо мной каменным гигантом. Серые кирпичные блоки стены были похожи на варёную холодную овсянку со слипшимися хлопьями. Высокие окна были завешены тяжёлыми тёмно-синими шторами и только из одного окна на втором этаже лился тёплый свет. Лучи заходящего солнца едва пробивались через высокие ветвистые деревья во дворе.
