Ufff!! Well - I've finally COMPLETED my fantasy novella, "Blood of Wear". I thought I could do it in ten days, but in the end it took me a YEAR to write it. Yes, yes - the first chapter was published in this LiveJournal exactly on January 5th of last year. I know the readers were unhappy, but now I hasten to reassure them - the story is finished. However, instead of posting the ending, I decided to do the wiser thing and post the whole thing again. I think it will be more convenient for everyone. Even for those who have already read the previous chapters, I would recommend re-reading everything again - firstly, to once again enjoy the author’s style, and secondly, the new edition is, as they say, “corrected and supplemented.” For those who are not in the know , what we are talking about - a brief summary. So, the story is written in the popular dystopian genre. The action takes place in Russia, in the very near future. The main character is an unemployed PR man, Arkady, who, during the difficult period of the New Year's holiday holiday, is drawn by the thirst to make some easy money; For the sake of this bright goal, he agrees to carry out the dubious task of a yellow tabloid newspaper that specializes in feeding people stories about the “end of the world” - and goes to a large Volga city, where, unexpectedly for himself, he finds himself in the center of some incomprehensible, but very large-scale cataclysm. ..

PS the author’s autobiography has been moved to its proper place (or, following the author’s tradition, “the proper place”?)
