Especially if this woman is not like others.2. “Alpha Centauri”: Very often people dream of trying on someone else’s, better life. Sometimes they succeed, but life still remains alien, and they no longer want to return to their own.3. “Prisoner 2862”: To be convinced that God is omnipotent, multifaceted and all-forgiving, it is not necessary to go to church and offer prayers. He is always nearby, so you can just feel him.4. “Two Larissas”: The past is imperceptible, sneaking, but always follows a person, and at the most inopportune moment it can burst into the present. That's when the nightmare begins...5. “I will repay!”: The work consists of three short stories “Faith”, “Hope”, “Love”.
