Modern Fairy Tale. Swamp Cyberpunk

Отрывок из книги

– What was it yesterday? – Makosh were standing with her arms akimbo, fixing a piercing glance of her red eyes on my turgid mug. – I’m so pissed off with your Vodyanych! Boozing fly-agaric extract biting it with lilys is all you do all day long!

Oh, my beloved stub, my dear wood… My wife got really steamed up – a typical hag. Nothing really happened after all. Well, we had a drink with water elf, but there was a reason – his mermaid eloped to Neptune, coveting on algae and pearly shells.

I turned sideways. A headache got worse than before. Though, honestly, I had nothing to say in return. The babe was absolutely right. It’s all Vodyanych’s fault! Come over, he says, for a minute to try a new extract, swearing there’s no any shrooms blended to it. He got me round, a swampy toad. And now I lay dying and listening to all this preaching. I need to settle this matter somehow… But how?

– Makoshechka, what if go the village to take kids together? I can be on watch, while you kidnap them or split some logs for making a soup and pick some herbs to make it rich.
