The cold wind blew the leaves along the empty street, and only the distant horns of the steamship did not allow the silence to close its fingers over the falling asleep city.

No, don’t just think it’s a shot from a new Lady Gaga’s clip. My wife Rosalie doesn’t usually dress like that, but pregnant ones can be forgiven for their little whims. Here she is, my baby, when she forgets about her epatage alter ego:

The noble woman behind her in the first picture is none other than Samantha Leslie. The first lady of this city. Or rather the lady “one step away from it”. Not everyone is pleased with the prospect of being under the heel of this woman. What can I say about her, loving son-in-law, in addition to endless words of my admiration?

The boy, who as usual went for a walk without an umbrella and now runs from bad weather to hide under the roof, is my son, Renly. He is not catching stars from the sky YET, but they say Einstein also was not straight a's at school. Father's heart feels he will become someone. With such genes, there is no other way.

Well, the time has come for me to show up.

My name is Zachary Nuai. I'm just a technician with a paycheck in $34 per hour. But by fate, my family and I happened to be in the middle of a storm that has turned our town. And this storm had begun to emerge long before I was born. Make yourself comfortable, we're gonna need a lot of cocoa cups and marshmallow. To be honest, I would advise you to take something stronger, but I'm afraid that then you will quickly get horribly drunk. My story can undermine the spiritual ties or abuse your high feelings. But it would be dishonest to tell only the pure half, since the truth is never half-hearted. And without shadows we do not see the true outlines of the things.

With the first snow all the dirt in the hearts of our citizens became visible at a glance.

- Hello? Detective?

- Miss. I got the pictures. I'm afraid you were right.

Heavy sigh on the other end of the wire.

- Well, detective. Since my family is beyond saving, maybe I should pursue a career. And I feel, in the area of my interest, very soon there will be a vacant place…
