Eight people met on the Internet. We met as part of the “Writing a Novel” competition in the LitO group “Goldfinches”. We are different: both in life experience, and in relation to the reality around us, and in our philosophy. But we are united by one thing - a love of literary creativity and a desire to give people a piece of our soul. This is how our joint project appeared - a literary wardroom. The collection we bring to your attention is the result of our common efforts. The "transformation" symbol was chosen for a reason. A chance meeting turned into friendship. The stories are presented in the author's edition.
