Grandma told me to stay away from Lucy the registrar—the scourge of the local clinic—but I took it as a cue to become her friend. I waved off any bad premonitions in the late nineties and decided to take a break with my friend at her dacha. That’s where we found the corpse of our mutual acquaintance. And in this very delicate situation, I met the long-awaited destiny I was unlucky enough to face in the form of either a killer, or a bandit, or just a dangerous uncle named Fedy.
