by Alexander Belyaev, Александр Беляев

? Maramball vzyal v rot novuyu papirosku i zazheg spichku. No tut sluchilos nechto, zastavivshee ego zabyt o feletone i povergshee ego snachala v nedoumenie, a potom i v uzhas.Spichka zazhglas s treskom, kak ej polagaetsya, no Maramball ne uvidel ognya, xotya slux ne mog obmanut ego, chto spichka zazhglas. Razdumyvaya nad etim neponyatnym yavleniem, on prodolzhal derzhat spichku mezh palcev i vdrug vskriknul ot ozhoga. Maramball brosil spichku, otdernuv ruku. Teper on ter rukoj obozhzhennyj palec i v to zhe vremya prodolzhal videt svoyu protyanutuyu nad stolom ruku so spichkoj. Maramball v uzhase otkinulsya na spinku kresla i nablyudal etu tretyu ruku, v to vremya kak ego drozhashhie ruki pokoilis uzhe na kolenyax. On sidel tak nepodvizhno minut pyat, poka novoe yavlenie ne porazilo ego: on uvidel, kak vspyxnula nakonec spichka v prizrachnoj ruke, kak dogorela i kak otdernulas ruka posle ozhoga palcev. Slovom, on uvidel to, chto dolzhen byl videt, kogda zazheg spichku, no videl eto s opozdaniem v pyat minut. Maramball protyanul ruku i zazheg lampu na pismennom stole. Vyklyuchatel shhelknul, no ognya ne bylo, ne videl Maramball i svoej protyanutoj k lampe ruki. On pochuvstvoval, kak zashevelilis volosy na ego golove. ?
