The evil spirit from the painting
It was in the fall of 2007; I had just moved from the village to the city; I inherited a very nice 3-room apartment. I really liked everything about it, except for one place, in my bedroom opposite the bed, the wall was completely bare. This annoyed me terribly. I decided to drop by the nearest furniture store after work and buy a mirror.

What To Do When You're Trapped in an Unsafe Scary Situation and There is No Escape
Whether it’s a natural disaster, a violent attack, or something else, these situations can be terrifying. It’s important to remember that there is always something you can do to increase your chances of survival. In this article, we’ll give you some tips on what to do when you find yourself in an unsafe, scary situation. We’ll help you assess the situation, stay calm, and make a plan to get to safety. Assess the situation: Before taking any action, it’s important to assess the situation and understand the level of danger you’re in. Here are some questions you can ask yourself to help you determine the situation: - Where are you? - What’s happening? - How can you escape? - What do you need? Stay calm: You might feel like panicking in a scary situation, but that is the worst thing you can do for yourself. Panic can cloud your judgment and make you more likely to make a mistake. It can also make you more likely to get injured. Here are a few ways to stay calm in a scary situation: - Breathe. Take a few deep breaths to bring your heart rate down. - Talk to yourself. Remind yourself that everything will be okay. - Don’t isolate. Stay close to other people who can help you stay calm. - Focus on one thing at a time. Don’t try to do everything at once. - Don’t use drugs or alcohol. They’ll only make your situation worse. - Stay positive. Think about something that makes you happy. Make a plan: Once you’ve assessed the situation, it’s time to make a plan. Your plan should include two things: how you can escape the situation, and how you can protect yourself while you wait for help to arrive. If you can, try to find a way out of the situation right away. If you’re trapped in a natural disaster, for example, you might be able to climb to higher ground. If you’re trapped in a building fire, you might be able to smash a window to escape. If you can’t escape, try to find a safe place to hide in the immediate area. If you’re in a violent attack, you should use any items you have to protect yourself. You can also ask other people in the area for help. Take action: Once you’ve made a plan and assessed the situation, you should take action. Here are a few tips on how to take action in a scary situation: - Safeguard your hands. If you’re in a violent situation, make sure you keep your hands away from your attacker’s reach. If possible, grab something to use as a shield, like a backpack or a book. - Find clean water. If you’re in a natural disaster, make sure you have access to clean water. - Stay in a safe place. If you’re in a natural disaster, make sure you’re in a safe spot. If you’re in a violent situation, stay away from places where you think the attack might escalate. - Stay close to medical facilities. If you need medical help, make sure you’re close to a place where you can receive treatment. - Stay close to people who can help you. If you need to call 911, find a place where you can stay safe while you wait for help. Get to safety: Finally, you want to find a way to get to safety. Here are some tips on how to do this: - Stay calm. If you’re near safety, stay calm and move slowly. You don’t want to set off any alarms or draw attention to yourself. - Find a safe place to hide. If you’re near safety but can’t get to a safe place to hide, find a spot where you can stay hidden. - Wait for help to arrive. Stay near medical facilities or wait for help to arrive if you need medical assistance. - Follow instructions. If you’re near safety and help has arrived, follow their instructions. Conclusion: These tips should help you stay calm and make a plan in any scary situation. Be sure to practice these tips, so that if you ever find yourself in a scary situation, you know what to do. You can also keep these tips in mind if you’re with other people who might be scared in a scary situation. Remember that you always have options, even if everything around you feels like it’s falling apart.

Abandoned village
I love this village. I've been coming here every summer for almost twenty years. Everything is nearby here: forest, field, and river. The village is relatively large, three kilometers to the nearest village through forests and fields, and about fifteen kilometers to the highway. About three years ago, they began actively buying houses (what to do, people are getting old and dying) for suburban plots.
