Description

Anna sat there, staring stupidly at the corpse. She understood nothing at all. Who could have killed Pashka in her apartment—with her kitchen knife? Of course, only she. If even Anna couldn’t find a more suitable suspect, what then to say about the police? But Anya hadn’t killed that scoundrel, even though today she had been so angry with Pashka that all she wanted was to smash him!.. So maybe she killed him in a fit of mental fog? But no—Anna hadn’t gone mad and she remembered everything perfectly.

When she went out for cigarettes, Pavel was alive and well. And when she came back—he was already lying dead in a pool of his own blood…

Anya shuddered. And then, in the night, there was a deafening ring at the door…

Later, the story “The Crazed Muse” was published under the title “The Goat and Paper Cabbage.”
