The Post begins on a frostbitten evening as two unlikely companions prepare to depart through a sleeping town—one bound by duty, the other by schedule.

He is joined by a university student, not through friendship but by arrangement, setting the…-

The Pipe
The Pipe opens with Meliton Shishkin stepping out of the woods, damp from the morning mist and weighed down by weariness, his loyal dog Damka trailing behind. The sky hangs low and grey, painting the landscape in dull tones that echo the heaviness in Meliton’s thoughts.

The shepherd’s music seems to echo more than just solitude; it carries a quiet lament for a world…-

Chapter
The Midwife
The chapter delves into the complex life of G, an artist whose early wild years in the city contrast sharply with her later conventional existence as a successful painter, wife, and mother. G’s studio in a gritty neighborhood symbolizes her rebellious past, where she lived in chaotic freedom, disconnected from her disapproving parents. Her art initially served as a raw, unfiltered expression of her inner turmoil, but as she gains recognition, her work evolves into more polished, somber pieces. This shift…-
