Man with dark hair and green eyes was walking down the street. It was raining and strong wind was blowing, it was late evening and street lights were illuminating trees scattered across the street. The man was wearing a black jacket and pantaloons, and he entered in a bar and closed down the door.

He sat by the table and lit his cigarette. He ordered coffee and soda. Beside him, in the bar was sitting some old man and read newspapers. The man began looking through the window on the street while drinking his coffee and soda. Winter solstice entered early among the streets, and nights were beginning very early, by 3 pm. It was so dark that almost nothing could be seen. Some people were walking on the street, carrying with themselves bags and stuff. Then he noticed some young man, he recognized him, it was his old friend. He waved his hand to him and then young man noticed him and entered in the bar. He sat before him and they greeted one another.

"Hi, Fred.", the man said to him smiling.

"Oh, man, what are you doing here?"

"I came here to drink some coffee. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Yeah, two years almost. What are you doing, are you all right?"

"I'm good, currently working in an ice-cream factory. And you?"

"Studying some university and stuff. Hey, look, I gotta go, so if you want to go out with me someday, you have my number, so we can meet, alright?"

"Alright. See ya."

"See ya."

The young man got out of the bar and got lost somewhere down the street. The man was still drinking his coffee and smoking cigarettes. Some pop music was playing on the recorder. When he finished, he paid for coffee and soda and got out of the
bar. The rain has stopped, and he walked down to the park across the street. Park was surrounded by trees and benches, and in the centre, there was a fountain and swing. He sat on a bench and watched how wind moves trees around him. From the main road, he heard sounds of cars and trains, shouting of men. In the park came in some girl, she came out of the darkness and begun approaching the fountain. She drank some water from the fountain, stood awhile like expecting someone, and then begun approaching him, dressed in teasing clothes. She was an obvious prostitute.

"Hi, sugar. What do you need? Blowjob?"

"I don't need nothing.", he replied, watching her big tits.

She came back and got out of the park-like she wasn't in it in the first place. Soon man went to the porno cinema that was close to the park. It was surrounded by some abandoned buildings. He went in, bought a ticket and sat on the seat. The movie was about to begin. On the screen, some hot girl was licking balls to some handsome fellow. He begun jerking while watching the film. On the other end of the hall, there was also some man who jerked. Soon on the screen appeared someone's shadow. It was some girl who entered the hall. She sat by the man and begun jerking him off. He squeezed her tits and touched her pussy. When she jerked him off, the man left the cinema and begun walking down the street. He stumbled across some theatre. There was a show at the moment, so he went in and bought a ticket. He sat and begun watching. It was a very nightmarish show, which reminded him of his nightmare. On the stage, actors were hanging themselves every five minutes.

At
the end of the show, when he was preparing to leave the theatre, the girl actor approached him holding a rope that was used in the show for hangings.

"Hey, I noticed you during the show. You were carefully watching the show."

"Thank you.", he replied.

"Here, take this, I think it will help you.", she said and gave him the rope. The man thanked her and left the theatre. He called a taxi and went into the car. The taxi man was some strong guy, with no hair on his head.

"Take me to 23. street."

The taxi went off and the man watched the road through the window.

"You know, I don't usually drive homosexuals, but today I'm at goodwill."

"But I'm not homosexual."

"That's what they all say."

"How you can even work with such harsh criteria?"

"I work alone. I have my own hetero codex."

The man was watching him and asked for himself if this guy is insane. Soon they came to the end of the road, so he paid the guy and got out of the taxi on to the street. He stood some time there on the street shrouded in mist and fog. Then he walked across the street and turned to his house, however it was hard for him to find it in all the darkness that surrounded him. On the other end of the street, some guy was taking his dog for a walk, wearing glasses.

"I always liked dogs", he thought for himself. When he went into his house, he didn't realize until now that he was holding with himself that rope from the show that girl actor gave him. He stood on a chair, embraced rope around his neck, and hanged himself.
