„The sky above Annelinn district was thick with noise. Especially at night. The daytime sky was cheerful, full of colourful parachutes. Sports in the sky involves military objectives, and that is a well-known fact. Tu-16K, followed by Tu-22M3, Tu-4D and the colourful, bright Il-76MD. Some of the Il-76MD models were in Aeroflot’s colours and armed with automatic guns, and in Aeroflot’s colours, but armed with automatic guns and equipped against the ground-to-air and ground-to-air rockets. Helena? An arm’s length to the right from the gray cloud! Diligent exercises for observing airplanes, considerations, considerations, diligent exercises may vastly decrease the time spent on searching for an airplane. An airplane can appear in upper layers. A thumb’s length to the right from the church tower. Only silence can be heard. To understand, to understand that you have to run. Riddle me, riddle me! It is neither fast nor slow, it is loud but one can hear it only in silence, in one’s body, inside one’s head. First in one ear – a phantom; then in the other ear – deception, a whistle, battle scenes. From somewhere inside, from the head. Sound waves that keep gathering and gathering, until the body escapes the sound waves, the body starts to move faster, the speed should be at least 343 metres per second, 343 seconds through sound waves, diligent exercises take the body quickly through with a blast. There won’t be a blast without the movement of the body of one’s individual type. The body escapes the sound waves and the spiders started to weave a huge fabric for the body, a robe stronger than steel, but too slowly, so that goats were taken to help out, but even they turned out to be too slow and did not achieve the desired results. Helena was found in her room at home, weaving a purple carpet, enormously big, consisting two wide parts where battles have been beautifully knitted inside.“
