Reality turned out to be more complicated and at the same time simpler. She had Maksim — a husband she had loved for eight years. She had a job that brought her pleasure and a decent income, even if it was behind a computer at home rather than in an office with a beautiful view from the window. She had a two-room apartment in a good…

The body seemed to have broken — like a mechanism suddenly stopped working. Like a fragile boat on the border of two worlds: water and air. No breath, no time — only pain that burns from memory even one’s own name.

Somewhere nearby comes a voice — muffled, blurred, as if through water.
