05. Alexey REMIZOV - The Victim
She lived in the Blessed family of the Borodins. The head of the family, Pyotr Nikolayevich, had an easygoing character and constantly made others laugh and have fun—but he also had strange interests: with enthusiasm he cut chickens, and he loved watching the dead. Of course, people paid little attention to these oddities. They lived in peace and harmony with his wife, Alexandra Pavlovna, and they had four children: a son and three daughters. And then it was time for the eldest daughter to get married. Who would have thought how the cheerful wedding festivities would end?
