Have you ever thought about what is the most powerful thing in the world? Stronger than love, death, money? What remains and continues as if nothing had happened when a catastrophe occurs? What awaits the next morning for a person who has achieved the main goal in his life? Ordinary. Thousands of daily everyday little things, each of which happens in its own time, no matter what. In the quiet flow of the river of everyday life, any exploits, atrocities and insights drown. But it is precisely this measured and indifferent flow of simple events that makes human existence possible, both in the best and in the most terrible moments of his life. The stories and stories in this collection are united by it - a cold, quiet and unstoppable movement. Meetings and partings, life and death, the destinies of people are like ripples on the water. Small waves that sometimes catch the sun's glare brightly.
