SMALL FRY
Small Fry begins with Nevyrazimov hunched over his desk, trying to compose a simple Easter greeting while the room offers him nothing but the sound of footsteps and the scuttling of a cockroach. The quiet around him is not peace but a kind of dull weight pressing against his spirit. He knows that beyond the walls, the world is full of light, church bells, and people in motion, all caught up in the warmth of celebration. His pen moves slowly, as though even his thoughts are stuck in the same dull loop as…-

My Books and I
My Books and I begins with a quiet, familiar warmth, like stepping into a room where trusted friends await. The narrator speaks of books not as objects, but as living companions—each one ready to meet him wherever he stands emotionally. Some days require a light laugh, and Bill Nye is pulled from the shelf, his wit a welcome reprieve. On others, Stevenson is the voice of thought, offering reflections that move slower, deeper. The beauty lies in the choice; the right book always seems to present itself.…-

What draws Eddie in isn’t just a promise of duty, but the allure of becoming more than he is.

Notes
In this notes "THE BLENDING"--of alternate prose and verse--"is not unknown in various countries." Thus in Dr. Steere's Swahili Tales (London, 1870), p. vii. we read: "It is a constant characteristic of popular native tales to have a sort of burden, which all join in singing. Frequently the skeleton of the story seems to be contained in these snatches of singing, which the story-teller connects by an extemporized account of the intervening history . . . Almost all these stories had sung parts, and of some…-

With his wife, Olga, and their daughter, Sasha, beside him, the scene they encounter is bleak—crumbling buildings, barefoot children, and a home stripped of dignity. The interior is dark,…-
