A collection of stories is my impressions of events that happened or could happen in my life. The characters in these stories are fictitious. All coincidences are random. If a thin thread of time, going into the recent or distant past, draws out from you an association with the feelings of one or another event, so similar to what happened to you, then the energy of my story has touched your soul. This book is for connoisseurs of life, people having a sense of humor. The author shares his perception of life in separate short stories or novellas. The book combines dramatic events with unexpected funny incidents observed by the author or his friends.
