Who are we?

The evening was so cool that the air temperature of thirty-seven degrees Celsius did not feel Ruts. His father was sitting on the bank beside him, looking nonchalantly into the distance. Ships passed by, and it made me feel sad that someone was going home andsomeone had a home.

Kolya did not want to play on the seashore and collect shells at all, all this he rejected inside himself.

– What happened to us?"

– We had an accident and fell off a 584-meter cliff.

– How do you know the exact number?" The exact number of heights? – asked the ten-year-old son, who greatly surprised his father with his question.

– I know.

– How do you know that?"

– I know.

– I'm cold and I want to go home." And what will happen to us?

"And there they are.

Lamp

– You need to twist the clamp even harder, when I bought it, it was the last one in the store, so I didn't have to choose, I bought the last one, I liked its shape, similar to ancient sculptures from Greece.

– Why did you throw out the closet?" I was waiting in line for him for a month and a half, in general, his nephew collected it for me.

– He stopped cleaning, I put the linoleum myself, I left a chek in the corner, which can be returned, because the product is guaranteed for 25 years from the manufacturer. But you can't carry it anymore, if it breaks, you'll buy a new one. Yes, and this store will close in a year and a half, and it will break from your refrigerator leg in 2 years, you will not have time.

– Maxim, you spent the whole weekend repairing this apartment for three years, and you didn't go to the house in the village.

– Well, you yourself wanted to make a beautiful repair, Nadia, and not hire workers, and how would we let them come here?

"The lamp is beautiful, indeed. How did you manage to buy such a beautiful masterpiece? I've always loved everything Italian.

– Yes, it's Greek style.

"There is no Greek style.

"How does it not exist?"

– So.

– Well, the shape is similar to a sculpture from the architecture of ancient Greece.

– It's a bit of a billboard.

"I agree.

Peter woke up today in the middle of the night and when he opened his eyes, he continued to listen to the conversation of a man and a woman, thinking that it was not turned off the TV, and there was a movie going on. He led a healthy lifestyle and did not suffer from any diseases.

In the morning, he got up and started getting ready to take a shower, put on the kettle.

– We need to turn on the clipak, for tone.

But when he tried to turn on the TV, he remembered that it hadn't been working for a week.

– But what did I listen to yesterday?" Probably a dream. Okay, it's time to get ready for work, yes, we still need to find a contract-a receipt for buying a TV, a guarantee, in my opinion, there should still be, another year has not passed.

He pulled all the papers out of the cabinet and started sorting through them, when he found it, snatching it out of the pile with a sharp motion. I put it in another small travel folder and started to get dressed.

At the bottom of the mailbox, he saw a letter addressed to Maxim and Nadezhda Kucherov, wishing them a New Year. The email was sent from New Zealand.

Number

– Dima, when was the last time you paid for utilities?
