After exams I had a lot of free time before my next step in life, and I decided to go to the village where my grandmother had once lived long ago.
It was situated near the very forest, into which the sunlight almost did not pass, where there was a lake in the thicket - small and with lots of reeds, as if someone had scattered its seeds. As kids, they loved to run in there for a dip to wash off the traces of the hot summer day and refresh themselves. Not many people lived there, and everyone always came to visit each other, helped each other in any way they could, even occasionally held gatherings, where residents gathered on a trampled many evenings so called the center of the area.
I hadn't been there in a long time, the last time we came to see my grandmother was five years ago. She was the kind of person who was almost always smiling and seemed to have no troubles, no misfortunes at all in this world, and everything filled with love. But after so many years, you begin to notice that everything is just as saturated with poison.
After all the hardships of exams, heavy socializing and being with my family, the only place I wanted to escape from was our village.
I was pulled out of these thoughts by the loud noise of the train sliding and the last thing I saw was the train coming off the tracks.

Strangely, I didn't feel like I was dead, the same heaviness, pain in my body, though the light around me said the opposite. At this point I cringed, but a slight pain in the side of my stomach made me not react so violently.
