When I was a child, I had 11 classes at school in the village of Chuchkovo, which, sadly, doesn't exist anymore. I then went into the army and thought I would become a security guard right after.

Humble life experiences, am I right?

My life had been nothing special up until that point. It had been pretty ordinary. But because I read so much as a child, my love for storytelling began to grow. It would never leave me. So, naturally, I started writing down stories. Eventually, I was hired at a bookshop. What a dream! I worked hard and with diligence. Every day I would go to the store at 6 a.m. and leave at 10 p.m.

It ended up taking a toll on me. I couldn't even read or write books. The irony, which, is not lost on me. I had always wanted to pus

“Hey, hey, show some respect for your elders.' Oh, if only you knew my psychological age, woman. 'You're not big enough to speak to me in that tone.'
'Tell my bruises that. My shoulder is still sore,' I lied, without batting an eyelid.”
Nicholas Metelsky, Changing Masks

“It was better for me that way because my visits could be more discreet. In a public place that is always crowded, it's hardly likely that anyone would pay attention to a teenager. I could use my 'distraction maneuver' on the surrounding people, and the security guards would not notice it on the cameras.”
Nicholas Metelsky, Changing Masks

“She had the kind of look that promised nothing good.”
Nicholas Metelsky, Changing Masks

“On that occasion, I was almost beaten to death by the children of some aristocrats who had completely lost their minds from a complete absence of authority in their lives. They would have taken my life if it wasn't for an old man, whose name I still haven't been able to find out.”
Nicholas Metelsky, Changing Masks

“The first time I wanted to break his hand for getting into my pocket. Good thing, I realized just in time that the hand was too small. That time, he got away with five minutes of being mocked and a cuff to the nape. The second time, I ridiculed him for ten minutes and, after hanging a snap, let him go in peace. On all subsequent occasions, he got away with nothing more than a slap.”
