-- And why the hell did I come here, I wonder? – I muttered, squinting painfully in the bright sunlight— My damn vampiric existence…

The city park. Surprisingly well maintained, with lots of old trees and shady asphalt paths. There was even a large pond and some ducks swimming peacefully. There was no shortage of comfortable benches, and so I sat on one of them. But relaxation and pleasure from the contemplation of natural species in the area, well— let’s just say that did not work. My eyes constantly searched the bushes and trees in search of monsters. They automatically clung to every blade of grass sticking out of the ground— what if this is a rare medicinal herb, which can be expensive if sold? And what about this little red stone? Ugh…! This is not a forecast— it’s the final diagnosis, my friend! But we will not surrender— we will fight the approaching schizophrenia! We are real! We will fight against the harmful virtuality enslaving our minds! To the beat of these proud thoughts, I took the label off of the creamy chocolate ice cream I held in my hand and, leaning on the broad bench, took the first bite. Good! Thinking a little, I took my cell out of my jeans and turned it on. If someone suddenly calls— which is extremely doubtful— I will have it on me. It’s the mobile I haven’t used since the time of my dismissal from work. Only my former colleagues and a couple of best friends have the number, let alone remember my existence. Well, okay. I will continue to enjoy the ice cream and try to get even the semblance of a sun tan on my vampiric face. The city is not the tropics, but still…

Br-r-r-ing! The sharp and piercing call broke my tranquility when I had eaten only about half of the ice cream. The number, unknown.

-- Hello?

-- Ros!

-- Your voice sounds somewhat familiar— I vaguely informed the person on the other end, biting into the ice cream.

-- Freak!

-- Goodbye— I politely said, and pressed the end call key.

Br-r-r-ing!

-- Hello?

-- Don’t throw down the phone like that!

-- What am I an idiot to throw my mobile on the ground— I was offended.

-- It’s me! Vlas!

-- You again?! – I was surprised.

-- Ros!

-- Vlas?

-- Well, don’t be angry! I wasn’t thinking… ugh! Wasn’t thinking! You are right, I’m an asshole!

-- What are you talking about?

-- About the swamp! And how I messed up… well, forgive me okay? -- boomed Vlas— I won’t do it again! That’s my word!

-- Don’t be ridiculous— I snorted— Where did you even learn those words, “forgive me” and “my word?”

-- Let’s have a drink, eh? – proposed Vlas— We’ll drink and forget all the insults. All on me— drinking and some food and a place to sit and talk.

-- No, no, no – I refused— No offense, Vlas. But now, it’s early in the morning actually.

-- Let’s start with a light beer – suggested he, after a little thought.
