Wandering Fire. Russia

Ira and Dasha – cousins. They lived in the same city, and in the summer it is always sent to the grandmother with the grandfather in a small village, where was born their parents. This town was like hundreds of other towns scattered across our large country – few five-story building, but most of it was occupied by private houses, and in the center, as befits a club, school, shops.

However, in the center of the girls were seldom of special interest they were not there. The house of their grandmother was on the edge, then began the fields, behind them the forest, near a pond where you can sunbathe and swim with your friends. Friends the girls had quite a lot. For the most part, all the same city kids sent to summer rest on the nature. Although, of course, were local children.

We all know what the children are doing, parents simply released to freedom. Get up in the morning, had Breakfast, than grandma made, and right on the street. Well if lunch ran, and then and there: for fun games and get-togethers with friends hunger somehow not felt. Came home only at midnight, had dinner, fell into bed and in the morning everything was repeated again. And then one evening, plenty of oncoming and nakupavshis, friendly company, as always, perched on logs, piled a bunch at the end of the street. Kind of close to home, and like and free. To leave no one was going, was with them in the evenings when it was getting dark, other entertainment – delicious roasted sunflower seeds and talking about all sorts of scary stories.

Jura, one of the local lads, said he saw firsthand how one of the abandoned houses nearby, one evening I got a large luminous ball. Say, came out of nowhere, floated in the air above the garden, reached the window and disappeared. Of course, everyone was very surprised and it became very interesting. Especially since we knew the complicated history of this particular house.

Previously, there lived an old grandma, then she died. But the tragedy was that because the old woman was lonely – her children, like many here, lived in town, I missed her immediately. A neighbor just accidentally discovered the body in a few days, surprised that Maksimovna hasn't come out of the house. Decided to go, to know that you were sick, and then... it Happened last winter and since then, the house was closed.

Needless to say that we immediately came up with a plan? We decided to go to this house and explore it. Well, or, at least, to look good on the outside. But since it was already quite late, the event was postponed until the following evening. However, decided it is not everything. Ira immediately excited about the idea, but Dasha had some time to talk, and she agreed to participate only for the sake of the sisters. The following evening, as agreed, gathered at those same logs. However, a little later than expected. Thought I'd go at 7 o'clock, but until then, Yes se...

In General, the house came only about 9 hours, when the sun had disappeared over the horizon and quickly getting dark. Outside, the house looked completely usually old log building sheathed peeling from time and have not painted siding, roof, porch, trim on the Windows figured. Wooden poles that support the fence, squinted, and the couple and all had to be filled up, the garden overgrown with weeds, but were still visible and raspberry bushes, and currants, and a few apples. In General, the house as a house. A little tread at the fence and pushing each other forward, the boys went into the yard.

Wanted to circumvent the first to explore the garden, but the gate was locked, and climb through the fence no one wanted. Especially since the neighbors might have noticed unnecessary movement, to go and disperse lyubopytstvom band. So just stood on the porch and pulled the door handle – locked. In General, it would be possible to leave, but no one wanted to return without a story is about interesting adventures.

Decided to walk around the house on the other side and look in the window – suddenly able to see something inside. First there was the veranda as the kids did not go there to see something interesting didn't happen. But Ira was more fortunate, she was able to find the kitchen window, which was single glazing. Who took the second frame is unknown. Without thinking, Irina pressed her forehead to the glass and cupped palm house to dissociate itself from the evening light.

Though not too bright, but he's bothered to consider what was in the house. A minute later a girl with a loud cry bounced off the window and ran away. Not seeing the road, forced his way through the prickly raspberry bushes, she jumped out from the yard, do not understand, but frightened the explorers for her. The entire company stopped at the very end of the street. But even there, the Ira continued to shake in fear. Trying to calm down, she had to grasp my hands, but her teeth knocked out distinct fraction. Of course, others began to ask her what happened, and what she saw there. From her inconsistent story managed to understand that at first, she saw only the usual village kitchen in the middle of the table, against the far wall, a stove with a stove, a few chairs, a door that obviously led into the room.

And suddenly, from the bottom of the inside of it have been someone's head – the face of ugly dolls or a dwarf, which serila teeth, smiled and pressed her forehead to the glass with the other hand. It looked like a face, Irina didn't understand – didn't have time to look. Just remember that all of it was covered in dirty stains or something like that. Ira was sure that it is not man – men don't look like that. And yet, according to her, the owner of the face was significantly less growth of any person not above the age of three.

Of course, this evening, all went home much earlier than usual, it was not until the gatherings. Anyway, Irina Dasha exactly. At dinner the girls told her grandmother, admitted that she went to an empty home and described what it saw. Grandma tried to calm them down.

He said that perhaps broke into his house to some homeless or drunk, who hearing the commotion outside, decided to look out the window and see what is happening there. But, just in case it is the next day and told all the neighbors. A few people decided to check the house. Wait for the arrival of the children of the deceased maksimovny of course did not, just went to the house and opened the door. Went into the room, to the kitchen, but nowhere was obvious that the house was attended by someone else. In General, shrugged again and locked the door, hung a big lock.
