What is fate? Someone's bad joke or an inevitable series of events, to one degree or another depending on choice? What about people who insist that everything is predetermined from above, but when crossing the road, they look not only left and right, but, just in case, also up? What awaits a person in another world, when the beating of his heart is muffled, when his pupils drown under heavy eyelids? This is to be found out by Vince, who after death finds himself in the forest of the dead. This is where the story of Beatrice Green, the main character of the book “The Crypt of Memories,” begins. The first part tells about the life of a girl who, as a child, faced the problem of sleep disturbances. Over time, it developed into more serious consequences, and now doctors cannot make a diagnosis - schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or hypnagogia? It seemed that the medications began to help Beatrice drown out her inner demon, but one day an unfamiliar attractive man appears in her dreams and changes her life.
