- Turn that lever.
- Yes, now.
- And hurry up.  We must do everything on time. So it says in
Instructions.
- Ready.
- Come here, Lina, I can’t make out these hieroglyphs. Old
I became...
- It says here to set the scale to 13:13:13 and press red
button.
- Do as it is written here.
- I have a feeling that something is going to happen. Something
very important...
- Of course. The Savior will appear to us.
- No, something else... Okay, I press...
The light blinked, lightning flashed in the capsule, the light blinked again and
went out...
                             * * *

I arrived at the scene on time, as always. Punctuality is not
leaves me even in this state...
I climb into the cornfield.  I take the place from which the first one starts
parachutist The rest come in and are accommodated on the plane. Engine
roars, gaining momentum.  The instructor comes in last and cleans up
ladder, closes the hatch.  The slam of the door makes everyone jump. How would
the way back is cut off.  The situation is tense. In the subconscious
ARIA pops up:
 Under the enthusiastic howl,
 You are playing with fate.
 Let no one know,
What's going on in the soul...

I look out the window with a detached gaze. The instructor, seeing this,
tries to reassure me, makes a sign like “everything is okay?!”. Silently
I nod in response. They don't know yet. They don't know anything...
The plane starts moving, rolls across the field, shuddering on the bumps. Hurry
I would, I think. The corn plant lifts off the ground. Instant attack
fear.  The desire to escape from here.  Trembling all over the body. Via
In a moment everything passes. All that remains is a cold thought: soon everything will be over
will end.
I look out the window at the receding earth. ARIA plays in my head:
“I wish I could fly away like a bird from the cursed land,” a look at
altimeter - the needle exceeds 300 and creeps further, - "C
to merge with the clear sky - that’s what you dream about..." Translating
a look at the paratroopers.  There's determination in their eyes
mixed with fear. I meet the eyes of a girl... beautiful
girl... I wink at her, smiling slightly.  Smiles at
answer.
_No, Dark, don’t think about it. This may interfere with your plans, and
you always achieve your goal._
Here again the second “I” woke up.  It always bothers me. Mine
help and... my curse... Lookrefocuses "to nowhere"
directed to the porthole.
The altimeter needle exceeds 900. A buzzer sounds,
which makes everyone flinch.   The instructor opens the hatch,
Peers down, sharply throws out the “jellyfish”, closes the hatch.
The paratroopers watch this with bated breath. The hatch closes
everyone breathes a sigh of relief. The gaze involuntarily stops at that
girl.  The eyes meet again. It seems like nothing special
but touched my soul.
_Dark, you don’t have a soul, you yourself abandoned it, imprisoning it in
depths of the brain, there is only cold calculation._ Let's fly further, plane
makes another circle, the buzzer rings. The instructor opens the hatch,
looks down.  I feel many eyes on me (first
I’m starting after all).
- Get ready!
Me and another parachutist take up the starting position. B
I take a last look at those around me. The gaze lingers
on that girl. She probably guessed everything, because... her face
changed instantly and...
- Let's go!!!
 You jumped into the sky,
 Into the storm-rattling stream...
Having already begun to push away, I heard the belated cry of that girl:
"No!!!"
Before my eyes there is the sky, then the earth. I was picked up and spun around
air flow. The stabilizing parachute opened. Lightning fastWith a movement of my hand I turned off the opening main parachute
mechanism, uncapped the reserve, unhooked the stabilizing parachute.
All. The way back is cut off. I have about 10 seconds left to live...

 I am free, like a bird in the sky,
 I am free, I forgot what fear means,
 I am free, along with the wild wind,
 I am free, in reality, not in a dream!!!

Joy, euphoria, happiness, horror, fear, nightmare, paranoia and again
euphoria. It's worth dying for.
The ground was inexorably approaching. I felt some trembling in
whole body. Perhaps this is death...
- Goodbye, foreign land... the land where I was born and raised, the land,
never became dear to me... Goodbye, world, which is nothing
will save...
The earth was approaching me with all its might...
                                       Instant flash of light.
Everything... consciousness fell into darkness...
