I'm walking home from the village club one day. I always walked along the same road. It was midnight. I saw a granny sitting near the gate.
— Aunt Lyuba, why are you sitting here at night scaring people?
— Yes, I'm waiting for them to take me to the cemetery.
— Ahhh, well, I see.
I think Grandma's lost her mind, the old one.
The next day in the afternoon I went to get bread. I pass by this house again. I look — there are a lot of people in the courtyard, and the coffin is standing.
I come home, I tell my grandmother:
— Aunt Lyuba, it turns out, is dead. She was still alive yesterday.
"What was it yesterday?" She died a week ago. The corpse has already begun to decompose. Okay, the postman came to her, otherwise she would have been lying further away.
I never went through that house again.
