A fugitive prisoner burst into an old woman’s house during a thunderstorm. But the grandmother turned out to be no ordinary woman.

Anna Fedorovna sighed heavily, placing another pot down. — What a misfortune! When will this ever end? This endless rain. Maybe up there, the roof of God’s house is leaking?

The husband inherited his father-in-law’s business and gained confidence. He was unfaithful to his wife and slapped her. The wife decided to teach him a lesson.

By the way, the head of the … Read more

I recognized the pendant of my missing fiancée. When I asked the maid where it came from, her answer turned my life upside down…

Today could confidently be called a successful day.

Although the young woman had two higher education degrees — in philology and journalism — no educational institution could offer her … Read more

— Overdue loan? We don’t have any loans! — the wife found out that her husband had taken out a credit card in her mother-in-law’s name.

Anna adjusted the cushion on the sofa and reached for the remote—time for the evening news.

The home phone’s ring shattered the silence. “Hello,” Anna … Read more

The wedding procession was speeding through the city streets. Cheerful, lively music played in the car’s cabin, and the driver kept up the mood by honking at passing cars, both oncoming and alongside. The bride was completely absorbed in anticipation of the important moment—her eyes were glowing, her hands trembled with excitement, she kept adjusting … Read more

The wife rasped, “It’s either me or that horror with the stroller!” — But the husband had already made up his mind.

— Where are you going at this hour? — came a sharp voice from the kitchen. — As if to some cacophonous parade! From the doorway came the familiar smell of fried potatoes and the faint scent of old resentment. Nadya appeared, dressed in her favorite apron with faded sunflowers, hands on her hips, her … Read more

— Just try to file for divorce, my dear, and I’ll tell my mother everything right away. Then you really won’t have it easy.

— Katya, are you almost there? I’m starving, I have no strength, — came Igor’s lazy, drawn-out voice from the room as Katya, barely stepping over the threshold, tried to find the light switch in the dark hallway. The light finally flickered on, stabbing her tired eyes. She silently slipped off her shoes, feeling her … Read more

The more Slava, my husband, spoke, the more sharply I realized how terribly mistaken I had been about this man. His words stung like bees, and I was deeply disappointed in him.

The more Slava, my husband, spoke, the more sharply I realized how terribly mistaken I had been about this man. His words stung like bees, and I was deeply disappointed in him.

“I will take the fall for you,” whispered the wife to her husband, standing over the body. After leaving the colony, she realized what price she had paid.

The night was humid and sultry, as if the air had thickened.
