The awesome illustration by Gloom82… it was love at first sight. Thank you very much for your works, Anton!
– Stop! What is this? What the bullshit did you say?
(The wolf stares at me… Damn! I always fail with accurate quoting!)
– You should say: ‘Oh, grandmother, what big ears you have!’
(I nod. My red cap slides down to my nose. But I don’t surrender.)
– Oh, grandmother, what big wands you have!
– Are you jeering at me? Hands! What big hands you have!
(I keep silence and wait. The wolf is looking at my resume.)
– I cannot understand how you coped with your role in ‘The Green Hornet’! Who is your custodian? I should devastate him! I gauge your dramatic talent like the dramatic talent of a fruticose lichen!
– I didn’t have a big role. I was a lame ship’s boy on the ark ‘Young liches’… and a corpse on the skiff in the next scene…
– And what are you doing here?! Why do you think you can cope with this role?
– I believe in myself… My grandmother always said…
(The wolf is almost growling. The wolf is almost ready. The wolf is almost near me…)
– Stop! Stop wasting my time! Get out!
(The wolf is bending over me… and I’m wresting his Adam’s apple.)
– My grandmother always said: ‘For be it my mask, or be it your blood, red will be the last color that you’ll ever see…’
(OMG! I’m a hero! I didn’t make a mistake in this quote!!)
…I come out to the yard. This morning I see gnomes around the adjacent pavilion. ‘Snow White’. I throw away my red cap and put on a white apron.

You guys remind me of Daniil Kharms and the Russian Absurdists. Which is a compliment, I assure you.

Oh my god! I wish I was familiar with them now. Perhaps Tati is. Tati? (And thank you for the lovely compliment, Naomi. Your support is much appreciated!) 😀

They are super fabulous. They got in trouble by the Russians and had to start writing kids stuff so that no one would realize they were still against the government. I think some of their stuff got smuggled out of the country in a suitcase, but that might have been Ludmilla Petrushevskaya, who is weird and surreal. Your welcome! Thank you for visiting my site and for being willing to be genuine and share yourself on the internets. I’ll be poking around now and then 😀
