This collection includes a variety of works, but there is something that unites them: each has a prosaic twin brother. Some plays were the root cause. Subsequently, I thought about what my theater characters thought and felt, and thus a story or story appeared with the same (and sometimes different) title. If prose appeared first, then the play probably arose from the desire to bring my heroes under the spotlight. And although not all of my opuses were initially staged, I still tried very hard. The play “Without Protocol” stands out for some. She arose by chance and had to die just as accidentally. But I felt sorry for the text, I began to fantasize and created a couple of additional characters. Suddenly these enterprising guys (especially Frankie "Sherman") took matters into their own hands and dictated to me a completely different text, which became the story "Sabra". Now those who have read “Sabra” will be able to find out how it all began.` Contains obscene language.
