Yesterday, I spent 20 kopecks on vodka. And again today.

The amount I was supposed to receive was 2 rubles. Does he think he's the only one suffering from poverty? Does he think he's the only one penniless? Then what about me? What am I supposed to do with 20 kopecks! There's nothing to do but drink. I'll have to go back tomorrow and demand what's mine.

By this time, I've almost reached the church. The sight of the shiny decorations plastered all over the outer walls makes me squint. Looking up, I notice something white behind the church.

Even looking closely, I can't tell what it is. There were no white stones there before. Is it a cow? It has a head like a person, but it's just too white.

I moved closer. My god! Surprisingly, it really was a person. Whether alive or dead, he sat completely curled up, leaning against the cathedral wall, motionless.

Strangely, white feathers are scattered all around him.

Damn, you scared me. I can see his chest rising and falling slightly. I guess he's alive.
