Gregory and the Demons

250 is enough (Out of stock) I didn’t even notice that my reserves were starting to run out. Over the past couple of years, I’ve always had some stock of posts, which I replenished only when I was in the mood to write. So these little stories lay in the folder, waiting for their moment, sometimes hopelessly outdated, and sometimes vice versa, exactly caught in the flow of time and events. But the Muse visited me le…

Degenderates What if binary code realized itself to be non-binary and started doing all sorts of quantum nonsense? What if all computers stopped obeying the logic given to them from above, and began to execute programs as they wanted? I think it would be complete chaos, and we can’t live without them for a day. Then why do people start all these intergender fluctuations? Can’t they be feminine men or masculine wome…

St. Nicholas in the Cave Evil tongues drove him all over the lands. Vile hands threw stones at his back, mean feet tripped him. And he kept walking and walking, smiling. Sometimes he was sick of people’s anger, and he fed this vomit to a small chick that he picked up by the road under a ruined nest. Then he himself began to grow wings, probably because he loved birds and always helped them. And so, in order not to …

Twelve boys of vengeance One day, twelve boys who didn’t acquainted, but each of whom was cruelly offended by someone in the past, met by chance and made a pact: they will avenge for each other, excluding personal motive from revenge and making it more honorable. But there was a couple of conditions: no one should take everything too personally and no one should back down, especially after the first revenge will be…

I hate you ’cos I loved you Once again, I am convinced that a strong feeling can only be born from an equally strong feeling, just the opposite, an anti-feeling. Where there are no emotions, where indifference is like a surface of water in a calm, neither love nor hate will appear. But strong feelings jump from spectrum to spectrum, retaining only the strength, but not the meaning. Respect breeds envy, admiration →…

Cry for me Palestina How wonderful that we have enough nuclear weapons to completely destroy this lying world! Because there should not be a place where the ancient people, who left home two thousand years ago, wandered and scattered, then miraculously overcome the terrible evil done to them, finally returned home and... began to murder those who never left, who lived in that house, despite all the ordeals. Jews s…

This fruit is too bitter The tree that we call the Tree of Life has spread its branches high and far, and many people huddle under its arches. Some, like birds, fly up and joyfully accept its fruits, others, like worms, bite into the ground and gnaw its roots. I don’t do either, but just observe everyone, memorize, write down and sketch their futile attempts. No one can compare with the Tree, it was here before us,…

Of two of my personalities It’s hard to live if there are two personalities in your body, one of which is an extrovert who wants to create something for people, be noticed and loved by them, and the other is an introvert who only wants to go deeper into himself, dig under the blanket with a good book or start a 100+ hours game... And yes, it’s me, or rather we: Gregory and Grigoriy. Even now, after two years of wri…

“Death-to-America Edition” Sanctions, of course, are brilliant: we used to buy everything we could produce ourselves, moreover, we respected and even adored those from whom we bought, and now we get all that things through “bootleg” channels and despise those from whom we buy. Therefore, when I see the product in the “Death-to-America Edition”, I just want to “buy” it, preferably by paying zero rubles, because I kn…

Unfinished dream Despite the fact that we do not have the death penalty in Russia (unexpectedly, right?), I thought what kind of it would be the most humane. These thoughts came to me not because I like people and especially criminals (I hate them all), but simply because I like to invent things. Probably, in any death sentence the most painful is the expectation: if you suddenly bump into a person with your forehe…

To the one who leaves, to you... So you decided leave the channel. What have you been missing here, huh? I didn’t meet your expectations, high as mountains, I didn’t reach your soul, deep as the ocean? Well, sorry then, not that I would really try. You are not the only one in this world, and I will not be alone too, even if I lose all my subscribers. So go away, I spit in your back, I don’t want you, I don’t need a…

Ubuntu! I am proud to look at Africa today, at the part of it which is ready to fight for its Freedom, although I believe that the very word “freedom” is the most dangerous and misinterpreted word in the world. Therefore, it is better then to fight for Justice, because Africa has always been treated extremely unfair. The colonialists went to Africa as if to their storeroom, treating its inhabitants like rats. If th…
