THE REQUIEM
The Requiem begins with a quiet moment in the village church after the final echo of the choir fades, leaving only Andrey Andreyitch behind. While others have already gone, his presence feels out of place, wrapped more in habit than in reverence. Dressed meticulously in clean, fine clothing, he does not appear as a grieving father, but rather as someone fulfilling a duty. Father Grigory’s approach breaks the stillness with sharp words, confronting the offensive phrasing in a prayer slip Andrey…-

The Post
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. The postman, wrapped in layers of coarse uniform and holding a dented sword more symbolic than practical, takes on the responsibility of delivering not just mail but a token of human warmth: a parcel and the greetings of someone too distant to speak in person. He is joined by a university student, not through friendship but by arrangement, setting the…-

Chapter
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. As he walks, the faint sound of a pipe reaches his ears—a mournful, hollow melody played by an old shepherd watching over his flock. The shepherd’s music seems to echo more than just solitude; it carries a quiet lament for a world…-

The Other Lady

The setting is casual, yet every word in their exchange is meticulously crafted with wit and intention. Lady Mickleham, with her signature blend of skepticism and indulgent curiosity, listens as Carter describes the encounter not with restraint, but with the glowing exaggeration of a man happily swept away.

The Other Fellow
The Other Fellow begins by pointing a subtle mirror at the reader, revealing the quiet habit of believing others have it easier, happier, or more successful. We imagine someone else’s path as smoother, their burdens lighter, and their days filled with victories we rarely experience. It’s an instinct rooted in comparison, often sparked by small disappointments in our own lives. Each missed opportunity makes another’s win seem bigger. Every struggle exaggerates the ease we think others enjoy. This…-
