Ending. Sanzu s Palace for the Dead Disappeared
In the intervals between two border states, she called either Eo or the Black Reaper.
“Eo,” arching at an unthinkable angle, she suddenly screamed without opening her eyes, and then fell again, “where is my daughter? What happened to her? We loved each other too much to think about what will happen to her when we leave! Who carried her to the first communion? To whom did she, embarrassed and stammering, tell about the nascent first love? Who led her to the altar during the wedding? Why didn't we think about it when we decided to die? Eo, answer me! Are you here? I can't open my eyelids!
“Lee Yu Mi,” Eo leaned over the bed, “we are together now, and this is the main thing!
-No. I came to say goodbye to you! There, in the unknown future, we will meet again, as we dreamed. Swear that we will not make the mistakes of the past again! No matter how hard it is, we will stand and not die prematurely from our own hands. Swear!
“Li Yu Mi, I swear! But you won’t leave!” Eo shook his head negatively, “You promised then, my love…
However, the girl fell silent again and did not respond, no matter how Eo called her. One day she did open her eyes and asked the manager to call her father. The ghost customs officer came, took Sandra by the hand, she seemed to feel better, but then she again lost consciousness. This torment continued for another week. A week later, the girl suddenly raised her head from the pillow and asked for a drink. Men - two ghosts and two people immediately rushed to help her. But the water did not affect Sandra again as everyone expected. After drinking a few sips, Sandra looked at the Black Reaper and said
- Dear, I must be dying! I want to ask you, bring my mother to me, bring Anna to me. I undeservedly offended her last time, she did me nothing wrong, and I pushed her away.
Soon the ghost woman, Mrs. Anna, was already standing by Sandra's bed.
- Mom, - Sandra whispered, - I'm your daughter, do you recognize me? Forgive me if you can! I don't understand what is happening to me. And you know, Mom, I remembered something, I remembered the terrible moment of my death. Then I went to Madame Teresa for some advice, I had such a friend. To my shame, I want to repent to you, I sewed two dolls that would help me destroy my grandfather and grandmother. This magic is called voodoo magic. That day, Madame Teresa still had a few friends visiting. All these women and girls were followers of Madame Teresa. I was not a zealous admirer, and did not perform rituals along with her followers, but the trouble caught us all together. That evening my daughter was naughty. I couldn't put it down for a long time. My husband, Pavlo, was away, maybe that's why the baby was so capricious, she loved her father very much. After putting my daughter to bed and giving instructions to the nurse, I went to Madame Teresa. It was still not too late, the clock on the city hall struck only 10 times. Madame Teresa offered me a cup of tea, I refused, saying that I just ran in for a few minutes, but she insisted. Then her friends joined her. I was on good terms with all these women and girls. Some I knew well, and some I only bowed to from afar. We were talking over a cup of tea, the conversation lasted about an hour, when suddenly we all smelled burning at the same time. God, it hurts, my body is a continuous wound from burns! But I must continue this story. That evening I did not return home, I was burned alive along with Madame Teresa and her friends. Grandfather was the man who decided to shake up the old days and pulled on the inquisitor's cassock. Grandfather followed me to Madame Teresa's house and told his two friends, scumbags like him, that the time had come! His friends did not want to move from words to deeds, but he insisted. In the mouth of my grandfather, it sounded like a witch hunt, in the eyes of the townspeople, it was murder. In addition to me and Madame Teresa, seven other women died that evening. Grandfather was proud of himself and pleased.
I can't tell anymore, it hurts me...! God, how it hurts!
Sandra sobbed.
- Olivia, my love! - the Black Reaper suddenly shouted, - I also remembered everything to the end! When I returned home and learned about the tragedy, my mind was confused. You, my dove, were pure before God, you never carried out your revenge. I was very sorry that I didn't listen to you. Your father was crying in unrelenting pain. Having lost his wife, he has now lost his daughter. Life has lost all meaning. Together with your father, we gathered the townspeople and staged lynching. We walled up the grandfather and grandmother in the room, that is, we did the same thing that they once did with their daughter. After that we set fire to the house. I don't know if those damned old people survived after that. The townspeople now bypassed this house. Revenge was complete. Again, it hurt and scared me to think that I didn't listen to you. I couldn't live anymore. But there was still a baby, our daughter. Six months have passed, but the pain in my soul has not subsided. I called Roberto, your father, and told him my decision. I left all my movable and immovable property to him and my daughter. I couldn't live without you anymore. Roberto begged me to change my mind, I refused him. Roberto asked me for mercy, he begged me to change. Like me, he did not want to live, We were both ready to die, but our baby remained. Finally, seeing my inflexibility, Roberto was forced to agree. He stayed and I killed myself. I went to where I thought you were waiting for me. However, suicides do not go to heaven and cannot be reunited with their loved ones. I walked and walked, the fog did not thin. I was tired of walking, and the road ahead still did not open. I walked for an eternity, but nothing changed. Then I prayed, I repented of my sin, I repented of all my sins and the just God heard me. The fog cleared and I found myself near the customs palace of the Sanzu River. However, this was not the end, I was offered to sign a contract. According to the contract, I became the Black Reaper. As soon as my ink signature on the contract dried up, the memory left me. But now... Olivia, now we can be together! Olivia! God, she's passed out again!
Time passed, and Sandra only got worse. Everyone was in despair. Finally, the manager had an idea and suggested to the customs officer and Mrs. Anna to take Sandra's hands in theirs. Surprisingly, it helped. The girl just fell asleep. Her breathing evened out and her face flushed. Sandra slept and slept. Anna and the customs officer did not leave her bed, the Black Reaper also remained nearby. Now that he remembered everything to the end, his term of service came to an end. The manager and his assistant were at work during the day, and in the evening they returned to the ward again. Sandra was asleep. One day, the second assistant manager - Eo, looking at the beautiful, calm face of Sandra, thoughtfully said
- What do you think, if everyone who is in the ward now takes Sandra by the hand, will she wake up?
Everyone liked the idea of a second assistant. Whether it worked out or not, no one knew, but there should be no harm from Eo's idea.
Mrs. Anna sat on the left side of the bed and the customs officer on the right, both holding Sandra's hand. The manager, the second assistant of Eo and the Black Reaper - each of the heroes of my story approached the sleeping Sandra and touched her hand. During these manipulations, Anna and the customs officer did not remove their hands from the hand of their daughter. The idea of Eo's assistant gave its result, but again a little not the one that everyone expected. Sandra really came to her senses. Looking around the room, she smiled at the manager and his assistant, and then asked
- Why am I here, have I been sick for a long time? Ah, I remembered! Probably, these are the consequences of that accident? That red car hit me at the crossroads? And you are probably the driver of that car and the passenger. Why are you silent, gentlemen? Is my guess correct? Or maybe you know me?
Sandra forgot everything. It seemed to her that she was coming to her senses after the accident, which, by the way, actually happened a couple of years ago. The faces of the steward and his assistant brought no memory to her. And she never saw the customs officer, Anna, and the Black Reaper again. The last six months have fallen out of her memory. The ability to see dead people also disappeared. In front of the manager and Eo was an ordinary girl. This is how this unusual story almost ended. As you understand, the Black Reaper, Anna and the customs officer were happy for Sandra, because she returned to the world of the living and became an ordinary girl.
After some time, the Black Reaper, who several centuries ago bore the name of Pavlo and was the lover of the beautiful woman Olivia, left. Before leaving, he drank oblivion tea. He was sorry that he had not kept his promise, and that another Black Reaper would see Sandra off when her time came, but there was nothing to be done. The soul of the Black Reaper was ready to embark on a new journey. He looked around the office, watered the flowers, heated the seal, and left an imprint on his elbow.
my soul, moI am a story, already very, very, very ready to end, but not all the riddles have yet been solved.
Before getting into the car, the old people, who for so many centuries weighed other people's sins, suddenly remembered the moment of their death, their sin. Then, walled up in a room in retaliation for the murder, they suffocated from burning, but the saving death did not come. The fire ended, but the pungent smell confused the sense of smell of the townspeople for a long time. The old people weakened, the liberator death seemed to be in cahoots with the townspeople, she never came. Grandfather could no longer watch the suffering of his wife, he remembered the stiletto, which, just in case, he wore for many years in his boot when he went out into the street. With the consent of his wife, he killed himself, and then his wife committed suicide with the same stiletto. After that, each of the old people forgot everything, forgot for many centuries. And now... The car with the Sanzu River logo was moving slowly, and the memories were swarming more and more in the heads of the old people. Finally, the old man could not stand it, he jumped up and began to beat his head against the back of the car seat, and his wife began to tear her face apart. However, the driver of this special car did not even turn around, he had seen nothing like this in his life. The old men were raging in the back seat, and he calmly turned the steering wheel.
A week later, the manager summoned a customs officer and Mrs. Anna. This couple had a lot to talk about. That is why the manager suggested that Mrs. Anna and the customs officer take the place of the old people who were weighing the sins. It didn't look like the customs officer would ever forget the events that had taken place over the past six months. The case of Mrs. Anna was considered in the heavenly office, but most likely the result was not expected soon. During the time of duty near the bed of her daughter, Mrs. Anna and the customs officer became friends. They shared a common concern.
Time will pass, and the customs officer, together with Mrs. Anna, will leave for that land where all souls go. But for now, their work is the fate of sinners. By agreeing to this job, Anna and the customs officer swore to each other and to the manager that their judgment on sinners would only be fair.
The manager put an end to the document and sighed. It was his last hour of work. After this strange story happened with his assistant Sandra, something happened to him. The manager has lost his ability. It didn't happen gradually, it happened all at once. Yesterday he could communicate with his secretary, but today he simply did not see her at the workplace. Upon discovering this, the manager was very surprised, but decided that for some reason the secretary did not come to work today. Time did not wait, and the manager decided to go with an inspection to the customs palace for the dead. Imagine his surprise when the palace was not in place. He just didn't see it. It was only at that moment that the amazing truth finally opened his eyes. The manager realized that for some reason he was fired from this job. Returning to his office, the manager wrote a letter of resignation. This happened just in time, because in a second the manager only blinked his eyes and looked at his office in surprise. He did not understand why he was here; there was no one to tell him about past events. After Sandra had forgotten everything, it was Eo's turn. The young man, Eo, remembered only how he got to the hospital, all other events licked up like a cow with his tongue. And now it's the manager's turn. The young man did not know that he had already completed his lesson. The meeting with Sandra, Eo's second mate, the Black Reaper, Lady Anna, the customs officer, and the old men of the Sanzu River, was not accidental. Because, as you probably remember, here, by the Sanzu River, nothing happens by chance.
P.S
It was spring. A beautiful girl named Sandra came to a store that sold new books. She knew that a certain writer, that is, I, had recently released a book. The story in the book vaguely reminded Sandra of something familiar and close. When Sandra read the summary of the book in the promotional booklet, she thought the story was familiar to her. I sat at the table and signed autographs. The book was released in a huge circulation, but was sold out in an hour. There was only one copy of the book left in the window, to which Sandra extended her hand, but she was ahead of her. The young man, whose face seemed vaguely familiar to Sandra, took the book first. The young man's name was Andy. Seeing Sandra's distress, he immediately gave the book to the girl. Sandra liked this gesture of the young man, and she returned the book to him. So they would have given the book to each other if they had not seen that the writer, that is, I was going to leave. Then Sandra had an idea. She really wanted to meet a young man, but did not know how to do it, and now she had an idea. She asked the young man for his name and came up to me. The writer, that is, I smiled and sat down. Soon the book was autographed, which was intended for two young people - Sandra and Andy. That was the name, as I said, of the young man. One book for two did not give melodym people to leave this evening. What will happen to them next, I do not know. But probably everything will be fine. You remember that the supreme deity gives only a canvas, and people do embroidery on this canvas themselves. Yeah, wait, you're probably curious about who Andy is? Very curious? Alright I will say. Andy is the name of the former manager of the Sanzu River Customs Palace for the Dead.

I suddenly remembered that one riddle remained unsolved. Remember Roberto, Olivia's father and Anna's husband? There was a secret in his family, and it was because of this secret that Roberto's daughter was born with an Asian eye shape. The fact is ... But, by the way, try to unravel Roberto's family secret for yourself. Well, if it doesn't work out, then contact me, I'll tell you.
Postscript 3
Our history began with the fact that the earth, nature was in danger. Ghosts, the customs officers of the palace for the dead, were horrified that the world was about to come to an end and it was inevitable. But suddenly a little girl three months old stopped the process of destruction. How many years do you think it will take people living on earth to start the process of destruction again, which will finally push our planet to death?
