Chapter 1 Magic and us
Woke up sweating. Life in a dream floated by like in a bad movie, in fragments. What have I managed to do in life? The horror camp was left behind with its lord of darkness Alejandro and my captivity in his world of nightmares. The little ball, the magic yo-yo, everything was a game. I haven’t even experienced true love. Of course I have Katya, but I only like her for her body. Olya doesn’t talk to me, she’s dating this Andryshaya. Many times I wanted to meet him in a dark alley with bricks, but I didn’t. Not because I was afraid, but because I love Olya and don’t want to see tears on her sweet face.

My friend was in the next room and when I heard a knock on the door, I thought that it was he who said «come in,» but the maid came and began to help me change clothes. Her every movement was graceful and beautiful. Hands are skillful and strong. Her beautiful face was so close to mine and she looked at me without looking away. Light strokes on my body delighted me. No girl has ever done this before. I was embarrassed and very happy. She is a very beautiful and sweet girl, and she smelled so nice. In my world, she could easily be a magazine model with her height of one hundred and eighty centimeters. I noticed that she was smiling when she looked at me, although she looked at my friend with a cold gaze. She sniffed at me several times and rolled her eyes, even foam came out of her mouth, which she immediately wiped with a handkerchief. I thought it wouldn’t hurt to wash myself with soap and shampoo. Although maybe she smelled the perfume of my friend’s girlfriend, although I tried to hide it with my sweat.
After getting dressed, I left the room with Virgil, for some reason by the hand. I was pleased to feel her warm hand. But it was as if there was no life in her, a strange feeling, and a familiar one. Fragments of memory or hallucinations caused by the movement burst into consciousness, a dark room, a robe and glasses. The small body on the table begs for mercy, but I or someone else just laughs, intending to do something terrible. I shook my head trying to shake off these thoughts and of course let go of the girl’s hand. She didn’t like it and sat down at the table with her arms crossed. Although then she immediately began to smile at me. How quickly her mood changes. I wonder if she can really like me?
