A terrible story that could be called fantastic if no one would ever have skeletons in their closet... A strange couple got into his taxi - a pimply teenager Kirya and a provocatively dressed woman Sonya. Disgusting passengers. Especially this bastard. He drank and cursed non-stop. And then he admitted that he wanted to die, he had been dreaming about it for many years. I tried a thousand ways. And he cut his veins, and hanged himself, and drowned himself. And... he asked the taxi driver to help him commit suicide for a lot of money, for a lot of money. The driver did not believe in this nonsense until Kirya cut his hands in the bathtub before his eyes. Until his face with blue lips plunged into dirty brown water with pink foam. Until several minutes passed, and his head with a cap of foam and red, bloody streaks under his eyes again appeared above the water. Kirya gasped for air, coughing up soapy water. He came to life...And this torture - watching the execution - continued again and again, dozens of times, until the taxi driver understood one terrible truth... The collection includes the stories of A. Barr "Numb" and A. Vargo "Clairvoyant."
