Seaside tales

Andrey Titov

Perhaps this book seems to consist of scattered stories. A boy dreaming of the sea; a man burning with jealousy; the businessman-loser, wishing to settle scores with a life; things that can talk.Love, passion, unexpected, sometimes on the edge of fantasy, detective plot twists… But only turning the last page, you will understand: the author’s ability not only to observe life, but also to notice the most interesting in it, combines these fragments of being into a single picture of the world.

РђВ Sea

InВ early childhood, IВ did not go toВ the sea, but IВ saw aВ lot ofВ programs and films about it. IВ was reading different books about it. IВ was dreaming about this great miracle ofВ nature; the boundless water expanse, the lulling sound ofВ the waves and the gentle sunlight. Eventually everything changed when IВ became an independent person and earned enough money toВ be able toВ visit the sea. During my vacation, IВ was completely devoted toВ the celebration ofВ life and doing nothing. Now my life has changed and IВ have the privilege ofВ living on the seacoast, rejoicing inВ my embodied childhood dream.

Today, walking along the sea, IВ watch people around me, who express their feelings and emotions honestly and transparently. They are so pure and sincere that they attract everyone toВ themselves, beckoning with their secrets and mysteries. IВ like watching them, fantasizing and creating stories about their lives. People coming toВ the sea on vacation are aВ special category ofВ holidaymakers who are improved byВ the surrounding marine environment, making them kinder, gentler and more tolerant toВ each other.

Here is aВ young, beautiful, tanned couple, visiting the sea for the first time together. They are innocent and inВ love. They are so passionate about each other and their feelings, awakened byВ this sun, that they completely ignore others, unknowingly attracting the glances. The rules ofВ decency, however, do not allow you toВ admire this natural innocence and beauty.

The company ofВ young girls, enthusiastically twittering like aВ flock ofВ carefree birds, attracts the eye ofВ passers-by. Young, cheerful, naughty girls are looking at the guys ofВ the same age, sitting nearby. And here is an attractive couple, an imposing man ofВ about 60В years old, gently telling something toВ his companion, who is obviously younger. On the face ofВ his companion, aВ dreamy smile is wandering. She is happy with her life at this moment and probably wishes it would last longer.

Summer’s relaxing warmth, gentle sun and soft sea water makes people kinder by awakening their purest feelings, giving a wonderful sense of lightness and love. Viewing this, I want to immerse myself in an endless sensual tenderness together with my beloved woman. Approaching her calmly sitting in the deckchair, I am dreaming about hugging as once a very long time ago, patting her tanned knees and touching gently her knees with lips…

– You can go to swim in the sea, just to freshen up and cool off! – she says tritely, shattering any illusion of universal tenderness and bliss.

– Yes, of course, you’re right, – I said, coming back from my fantasy. And so the fairy tale ends before it started. In my life, I have to look at beautiful, tanned, loving men and women, dreaming and creating my own fairy tale.

At the cliff

Life is often compared with aВ striped cloth; the black strips mean bad luck, the gray ones symbolize the everyday routine. Rarely among them there are light strips ofВ happiness. Quick jump from black toВ white means feeling the fullness ofВ life; the opposite is toВ travel along the black strip for aВ long time, enduring endless defeats and failures.
