Did you like to experiment as a child? I'm sure so. Smoke flares, homemade firecrackers, batteries made from potatoes or citrus fruits. So Cyrus loves. He is not an ordinary boy, or rather quite unusual. He knows no feelings other than curiosity and fear, and does not understand what others feel. But he has a brilliant intellect, which, however, the country did not really need in the difficult 90s. But where can a child with a unique thirst for experiments and outstanding intelligence go? The backstory of one of the characters from the Purple Dawn series. From the Author: Hang in the Spirit Heinlein and Bulychev, but deeper and more thoughtful. Of course, the main character is an indigo boy, who has become a black sheep among his peers, and perceives the world through his own prism of sensations and feelings. The Hang is completely finished, but the story of Cyrus is not. This work is a prehistory to the second volume of “Purple Dawn”, where Cyrus will play not the main role, but not the last one.
