Since dawn it has been snowing in large flakes, then in small ones, the fog is swirling, it is a pity, divided on gentle shoulders, blue eyes are still looking, sighing sadly, and the languid streak from sunset stretches the sun burns with a dim light, you can get used to it, but not right away

— why didn’t he leave then  asked me when he was getting ready to get dressed and go out

— how stupid could I quit?
put on the shirt first, then the pants
—that is, you still love me

—listen, you need to go to your grandmother in the village, it will be better

— though she hugged me then I felt the tart smell of perfume

—you know what times these are now, I don’t want anything to happen to you

—that means you have to stay and not go anywhere, he told me that you will always be there, her voice sounded touchy, and somehow childish

—I always keep my word that you will have to leave this time, I’ll write to you in a couple of days, but now I have to go
got out of bed and headed to the door, a strange feeling did not leave, as if it was necessary to tell the truth, it hurt, but it would be absolutely fair for whom I love so much, and so cherish, leaving too late, closed the doors, the cold wind slapped everything in the face waswhite, and almost nothing was visible, the fog spread along the street  somewhere in the distance you could hear the whistle of a steam locomotive, which means now it’s exactly half past five, soon it’s getting dark, you need to leave why you stayed yesterday, the beauty could have left, and the temptation of desire had to be overcome, not to give in to the fact that you would give in to temptation, although next to someone like that, it probably
In these surroundings the weather is always like this, it’s not for nothing that residents prepare for the onset of cold weather a month in advanc six months ago, just arriving here, it seemed that everything would be the same, and before only an empty house, and the old nanny, the weight of that same unbearable pain, the sadness that I was trying to forget, fell upon me

— after all, you are back, master
don’t forget your old nanny, thank you for this, I had to go through so much, God forbid, now this empty house is so hard for me and you, as if the mistress or the owner will now call you to hurry up, look after your son, instead there is silence

— what are you talking about, nanny, how can I forget, you look like my parents, and these difficult days have become even close

This is how he answered her when he came home, she was sitting in the room by the window in thought, clutching a handkerchief in her hands, and on her wrinkled face there were tears from she was in poor health, wearing the same dress as that, and had lost weight

 returned to  room, the bed was made,
all things were in their places, a wooden horse was near the closet where I usually kept my toys, a photograph on the nightstand where mom and dad are very little, I’m so happy in this photo,  don’t yet suspect that I’ll have to go through  mother died in the fall after a long illness, and my father ten months later on the same day on the eighth

the graves are nearby and during life they were always there supporting each other, and understanding never quarreled, this is true love.

Now I vaguely remember my mother’s face, but I know that she was very beautiful, and my father had the attractiveness of a man, he always smelled of expensive cologne when he went out onstreet joyfully raising his head up then greeting the day after reading the newspaper and smoking cigarette.

My father stopped being a cheerful person because he lost his senses; he often stayed alone in the room in front of his mother’s portrait, and told her
— I don’t want to exist without you

 for the sake son
once had a conversation with him, then  still couldn’t imagine what would be the last thing that evening

- understand, a person cannot exist without a dream, without faith, when your dream is taken away from you, Faith helps you to what extent you always decide for yourself

— Dad, what is it to dream?
asked him

— oh, son, this is the most wonderful feeling after love, someday you will understand this when grow up
he coughed as if choking, leaned on the back of the chair, and did not see his face, the torment that was reflected in pain
now go to your room

after that he gestured towards the door...
Today, eighth, there is only one in the room, after all, it’s a bad habit that needs to be broken, and if the nanny had been here, she would certainly scold, forgetting to remind,  that it is harmful, and that the smell will remain on the fabric

— as much as  can say, it’s been a long time since were little, and no longer a youth, but an adult, but still you need to quit tobacco so that God forbid you repeat what happened with your father, you still have to , a family, she said, she looked at me sternly when she left the room

— I know, nanny, forgive me, please,  hugging old lady

can you make pancakes
haven't eaten for so long

— of course she answered, and her face changed, she turned pale, only she realized that she shouldn’t have told the owner, and after a silence she added something to advise, excuse me, the nanny said, it seems she forgot, and then went downstairs to the kitchen

— maybe it’s not worth the right
having answered, he walked along the corridor turning to the right

decided  needed to get ready for bed, the candle that was nearby was burning, but sleep did not come.
 
Maybe Marcus will hire all of them, they have an education, but not the highest, give change, and especially know how to fight, come, they collected you at the police station, they took you to a room, they sat you on a chair, what they said, for a long time, but you didn’t hear everything, you did the right thing, but there was no point calling them names, they started sixteen years unexpectedly in the biography, however, not everyone with whom he fought later understood, many understood, bypassed his friends, there was little isolation, distrust where all this premonition came from, I don’t know, maybe it’s just youthful stupidity that all people are not so equal, there are fools and there are those who worked at the factorythirty years, and gave up his health as my father then didn’t come through, talked to the duty officer, then with the boss he was packing for home and on the way he was silent, and when we got to the entrance he turned and told me
- you did the right thing, but next time be more careful, there may be more of them, most importantly, don’t tell your mother
 what was there, and if he asks, tell me he was staying at a friend’s, called me at work, I picked you up, nodded his head positively, we went into the entrance, it was quiet, and in the dark we went up to the third floor
- but still, you know, a person should be able to stand up for himself; the father opened the apartment doors

- but still, you know, a person should be able to stand up for himself; the father opened the apartment doors

- where have you been mom asked
 she was wearing a plaid dress
 with an apron and left the kitchen
— I was suddenly delayed, mom, I’m sorry, I should have called you, called my dad.
“Get changed, wash up, have dinner soon,” Mom said, sighing.
- that's what I think my mother said
 covering the kitchen door for dad
- stayed late at work 
 by the end of the week the blockage, and besides
they can drive you out of work; there’s no point in it; they’ve bought the land (more precisely, they’ve squeezed it out)

- what will happen now
you could hear the boiling and gurgling of the pan, the rich borscht was so delicious

- we’ll manage somehow, having said this, the father went out into the corridor, closed the doors, and went into the hall

only a week later, when the father actually left that job, it became clear that it was not without reason that all this was planned, a new leadership came over them, not the people who should have been, but only money decides a lot then human life was worth very little, they could simply remove it without asking why

as if it were so recently, so many years have passed, now, unfortunately, the law is governed by the wrong people who do not understand that sometimes as a human being you need to sympathize, and not blame everyone, others have come dark when Sarah’s conscience and honor are forgotten

picked up the phone, dialed the number, long beeps, no one answered, and suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice
- hello say
- hello please tell me
 Rob at home
- who asks him, I’m his wife
the woman's voice was excited
- Tell Mary that I’ll come by, I need to talk about something, goodbye, hung up
Then, again, I dialed another number, this time I didn’t inherit the answers, which means there’s no one, I guess I went out in the evening, I won’t really stay on the street

At twenty minutes to seven in the evening I was already near  house, went up to the floor, knocked on the door, steps were heard, my wife opened it, said in a quiet voice
 — come in and close the doors please

I closed the doors and went into the room, it was small, on the right side there was a sofa on the left side, there was a chest on it, things were folded neatly, next to the chest there was a closet, not a big table, tablecloths, worn in places, torn, on the table there was a cup of tea,  lamp, glasses, and an ashtray we sit on

A young beautiful girl lived in a house
which was inherited from the grandfather of a rich man who passed away a few months ago after a long illness
however, those wishing to receive inheritances

 From this, strangely enough, the sadness and pain in many faces did not become less, only by pretense probably to evoke sympathy
the area of ;;the hereditary building of the land house reached about three hundred km
  managed to live so widely and so richly, however, there were a lot of envious and ill-wishers, including those who would like to earn so much money as a working person or not, everything will go away together calmly grandfather
- and what do you want to say that many people don’t know the kindergarten will receive an inheritance said a tall man in a beige suit

- that you, Sam, am informing you about what was written on paper and we will entrust the affairs of your family to me, since there is a certain trust, this was before they were born and began to go and finished school
- then tell me what is written in this will. I want to know right now.

We didn’t wait until this very evening. The son twitched his lower lip and then wrinkled his face.
and at that very moment a lady with red hair neatly gathered came in, dressed in a blue dress, calmly over some kind of difficulty, she put a handbag in the same color as the dress and then everyone on the sofa turned her gaze to two men
- Sam exclaimed joyfully to Margaret
long time no see dear, tell me how you thought you left

- Sam didn’t go anywhere, the thing is that the ship leaves only on Tuesday and now waiting three days is so long
- what can you do about such a law, so the dates of this month will finally be announced to everyone who gathers in the hall. In this house, what was the last will of the deceased, so be patient. And it’s time for me. After that, he stood up from his place and turned towards the door; he was only followed with his gaze

There was a pause for a few minutes, the girl in the blue dress and Sam were silent, didn’t even look at each other, the son got up from his seat, turned to the window and said irritably

- how is this possible, do you imagine?
- and why, please tell me, this surprises you, it’s just that the old man was not himself and decided to sit back, but at the same time he acts cunningly without telling anyone anything, you and I are lucky because we are relatives, which means we are on this list, right?

— You may be right about something, but meet with a notary and ask him

everything seems that nothing has changed these last five years, it’s still the same as then, only now I feel a little better because I wake up at home 
 because of everything dear, all your relationships with those you love, well, when there is no understanding, it’s meaningless

everything, of course, depends on upbringing, this is the second thing I noticed, and the very first and most important thing is, of course, Faith, there are people who are unworthy not only of love, but also of respect, talking to these is useless, as if you are talking to a wall, silence, cold gaze, poisonous

I forgot it a long time ago, erased it from my memory, it was about this person Yes,  look for him, and to meet him, I just sent the required amount, I’m sincerely sorry, I hope it helps in some way

We must move on with our lives, the question is different, but what is the most difficult thing is there is no answer

Wow, this excerpt really hit home for me. It’s a heartfelt dive into memory, loss, and the tangled web of family relationships. Right from the start, the author pulls you in with striking imagery and powerful language that totally captures the heaviness of grief. The opening lines—“Since dawn it has been snowing in large flakes, then in small ones, the fog is swirling”—set such a gloomy vibe that perfectly reflects the main character's emotional state.

The dialogue is where things get really interesting. When one character asks, “Why didn’t he leave then?” and the response is, “How stupid could I quit?" it really shows the struggle and the complicated feelings that come with love. You can feel the protectiveness in lines like, "You know what times these are now, I don’t want anything to happen to you." It’s so relatable; we all have those moments where we just want to shield our loved ones from pain. And when the author talks about the parents’ love—“the graves are nearby and during life they were always there supporting each other"—it really hits me in the feels, showing how love can last even after someone’s gone. This is simple but fantastic.
