Description
Winner of the “Electronic Letter” literary award, Small Prose category.
A collection of mystical stories about children with paranormal abilities. Their world is different from ours because they perceive it differently. Through the pain of the dead, through their rejection of their own gifts, and through desperate attempts to “be like everyone else.” But Fate, which granted them their gift, is strict. It sends them trials with someone else’s suffering, which they experience as their own. It checks their intentions every time they use their gift for fun. It watches silently when they peer through the murky surface of mirrors into the forbidden world—a world of the lifeless, and therefore dangerous.
