 Nostalgia

As usual, at six in the morning the shrill nonsense of a local mongrel
brought him out of a restless sleep. He loved animals - especially
dogs.  But this "bastard" clearly deserved a heavy brick,
for I woke him up like this for two weeks in a row. Sometimes for a mongrel
there was a special rage and she lied even at night. It was already

and imagined his night tormentor - skinny, shaggy and
with a bagel.  What especially infuriated him was that this “bagel”
wagged - the mongrel was clearly amused.
- Oh, you nonsense bastard... - He estimated the distance for
throw.
"The lying bastard" immediately assessed the situation, realizing that
the naked man with the brick did not appear at all to
give a meat bone.  It didn't smell like her.  It smelled like brickand
with a heavy kick to the ass.  Squealing another decibel like that

I remembered him, and the brick, and this place. Shivering from the morning
frost, he returned home.  The dream was shamelessly interrupted. Not that
so that he would greatly regret it - the dreams were difficult,
restless - some unpleasant faces, clips of films and
computer games, but they provided at least a semblance of relaxation
for the body.
He climbed back under the covers. The bed appeared after the street
warm like fresh milk.  Closing his eyes he imagined himself
lying on the hot sand. The warm sea splashes at your feet... He is the sea

The vile squeal of the returning mongrel brought him out of his sweet slumber.

“What,” he picked up a brick from the ground, “didn’t you see him?”
 The dog whined.
- Don't whine to me here! Do you want to get pity? - He slipped

Yelp under the window - you won't be able to smell anymore. Understood?
 He placed the brick again in the middle of the road and slowly walked back.
“Well, just let him try to bite you from behind...” He smiled.
At the door he turned around. The mongrel sniffed the brick. The day was beginning
not in the best way.
- Oh, infection!  Such a dream was interrupted... - He returned home and
turned on the kettle.
There were many unpleasant things to do. Running around at work, meetings
with useless people, trying to get a salary and many more

Returning home in the evening, he wearily remembered the morning

That unique taste from childhood.  But alas... For fruit

- Apparently I’ve lost the taste... Or they make ice cream

- I hope I don't see you here again.

For the first time in two weeks, he slept peacefully. He dreamed of the sea, the sky,
