Just Leave or Move
We were spending the maternity leave in summer house with our three-month-old baby. I was going to stay away from the offie at least couple of years. We have a law in Ukraine that one of the parents can stay home with a baby until they are three years old. It's a kind of unpaid leave, when employer must save the job place and has to hire some temporary worker for this period. It was end of the summer and we were in the beginning of the new period in our life when I got a phone call from the manager.

A Sound of Thunder
I was in the 6th or 7th grade when we had a story "The Vacation" by Ray Bradbury in our reading list. I liked it, which did not happened too often to readings from the school program. And my parents put a book with more stories from the author in front of me. The first one was "A Sound of Thunder". I would say this book affected my life in two different ways. First of all it was the first time I heard about "butterfly effect", and the thought that the smallest movement in the past, may make a huge difference in the future - it was incredible. I remember about it since then and it gave me realization that if something bad happened you never can be sure that if such a thing had not occurred, the world would have been any better today. It gives you some kind of additional perspective when you think about historical events or even personal ones.

I was about six years old. I could read well at that time but I could not write. My grandfather had a mechanical typewriter and I was allowed to use it. It was like a quest each time to find a needed letter on the keyboard! And one day I read a pictured book about large cats: lion, tiger, lynx, and others.

A witch
I was a witch. Or better to say people around called me a witch. First, plague came to our village. Many people died that year. I was the only one survived from my family. I was two years old and even did not remember those events. But some people started to hate me already. I was lucky that a pair who lost three of their own children decided to take me in. They cared about me my whole childhood, but they never really loved me. They taught me many things to do, actually - too many for one person. It was like they wanted to put into me all their wishes and desires for their own children. And of course I never could be good enough in anything I did.
