From Author
Part 1 is a diary. A record of thoughts. A confession from a man who knew he wasn’t coming back.
Part 2 is my experiment. A different character. A different perspective. A different way of telling the story. It takes the form of a pseudo-screenplay.
Don’t be thrown off by the shift in genre or focus.It’s not a mistake — it’s intentional.We’re just looking at the same story from another angle.
A pseudo-screenplay? Yes.
But it reads like prose. So get ready — it’s going to be an emotional ride.
I promise, it’ll be worth it.
Enjoy.
Why do we open a book?
To spend an evening well. To escape the noise of everyday life. To take a cup of coffee, settle into a comfortable chair, and disappear from the familiar world for a few hours.
But the truth is that today people have forgotten how to slow down. We scroll, we switch, we close hundreds of stories on the very first page without giving them a chance. Sometimes the fate of a book is decided in the first few minutes—just as the fate of a screenplay is decided after the first pages are read.
So let me tell you the most important thing right away.
This book is not just a story for the sake of plot. Within these pages are trials and hope, loss and inner strength, love and fear, choices and the price they demand. Everything that makes up a human life.
The greatest boredom of any story is predictability. When you already know who will survive, who will betray, who will be happy in the end.
This one is different.
Before you lies a journey into a harsh and merciless world, where every mistake has a cost, where light in the distance does not always mean salvation, and darkness does not always mean the end.
I will not hide it from you: there will be difficult moments. There will be pages after which you may need to stop and catch your breath. There will be losses.
But if you reach the final page, this story will stay with you.
Not because the author is someone special, but because the people who live on these pages struggle, love, break, and rise again—just as we do.
Give this book a chance.
Read it without rushing. Live through it beside the characters.
Then decide for yourself.
But I believe you will not regret it.
