Voice from Above. About Magical Shoes, Instructions for a Miracle, and Candles with the Scent of a Happy Life

Aleksandr Rain is the author of short stories and novels in the genres of science fiction, fantasy, mysticism, and humor. A blogger with an audience of over 300,000 subscribers. Have you ever suspected that an old bathrobe knows more about life than you do, and that the shadows in a typical apartment behave too suspiciously? Behind the familiar facade of the metropolis lies a mystical reality where even a jar of pickles can become a conduit to an important truth. These are ironic and deep stories about how the simplest things turn into keys to fateful answers. When everyday life fails, invisible tuners of silence and talking objects come to the rescue. Here, mannequins hold memories, and ventilation shafts whisper about the main things. Remember: a miracle does not require special effects; it hides in the details of your day, waiting for you to change your angle of view. A kind and piercing prose about the fact that there is nothing accidental in the world, and that love is able to bring to life even what has always seemed inanimate.
