It was the usual storyteller among the Indians. Her gray hair didn’t knit with a beautiful and young face, which was her dignity, perhaps, the only one that people could see. But in fact, she was very clever, and so everyone respected her. And so, as always, she sat and smoked her bamboo pipe, as one of the colonists, who lived near the Indian settlements and fought with them, fired at her from behind. She was killed: everyone always thought - is there life after death? - and here is the answer - the narrator flew over her body. She saw and heard everything, but did not feel anything: neither pain, nor fear, nor hatred for the colonists, she was in pleasant nirvana. It rose higher and higher and now it turned out to be near a blood red strip in the sky, which cut through the whole sky through and through. Everybody wondered long ago what the lane was and what was behind it. It was a mystery of many generations of the inhabitants of Antira - a planet that is very similar to the earth, but at the same time, very different. The bard spent a few more minutes in a state of euphoria and suddenly found herself at the mercy of light — white and very bright. Suddenly a voice was heard:

“You can rest for several centuries, but then you will go to a planet called Earth — there you will atone for all your sins,” and the whole conversation ended and she went into the light:

It was an ordinary gray day, no more, no less, 1983 from the birth of Christ, July 30th. A baby was born that developed very quickly. His eyes were like a chameleon - they reflected his state of mind and constantly changed their color. His hair was blond and his skin was completely white. His life was very interesting, but he was always pursued by only one feeling - the feeling of fear behind his back. He always had the feeling that a piece of lead would fly into his back, and the rest was an exemplary boy. He lived and lived and dreamed of only one thing - to appear in a world that is not so cruel as this one and only three rulers rule there - Love, Faith and Hope. He first heard about such a world from books that talked about virtual worlds. And then he wanted a computer for himself, after a while his dream came true, and the guy had a real friend in his life - a simple computer - Spectrum 48K. This, of course, was not what he dreamed about, but also not bad. And it so happened that he was taken away from the city in which he was born, therefore behind the windows he was met by mountains and birds. Therefore, the boy did not have the opportunity to make friends with someone, and that is why he did not have other activities other than computers. When he grew up a little, he was sent to his older parents - to gain a higher level of knowledge. It so happened that other parents lived in a big city, so he immediately found himself very many friends, but none of them had computers. No matter how hard the guy tried, his efforts to create a world based on his computer were not crowned with success. Then he began to dream of something more than just a computer. Thus, the boy received a very advanced computer for those times - the four. The guy was very proud of his typewriter and boasted to everyone, but once he met another programmer who told the boy that computers could talk to each other. So the modem and the Internet soon appeared in the family. It seemed, what else can you dream? You will get what you want, but: but the boy read somewhere that there are whole virtual worlds with a lot of information, and being a very curious person, the guy went there.

Walking down the street, the boy met a girl who asked for his name. You had to think of something urgently - after all, he had no name, only initials - RAL. Without thinking, the boy called himself Ralph.Hearing this name, the girl immediately turned around and went in a different direction. At first, Ralph thought that his name had such an effect on the girl, but when he looked at himself he noticed that his camera was hanging around his neck and his clothes were very clown. Ralph looked around and noticed that some looked like him, and some - in beautiful clothes. This didn’t bother him at all, although his self-esteem was slightly hurt. He decided to find out - what was the matter, but none of the beautifully dressed people talked to him - everyone avoided him, then he went to the quarter where there were most “tourists”. There he was treated better already and he found out that his clothes depend on how much he pays for the entry to the virtual machine. And as it turned out, they do not accept cash, but only credit cards. Then Ralph got into a dead end - where to get a credit card in Russia ?! The decision itself was asked - to take advantage of the use of a rich American neighbor. The next question was not long in coming - where to find a friend of an American? After some thought, Ralph decided to try his luck and ask about his credit cards from his newly-made friend, the hacker. But a friend just laughed at him and for fun he gave him a card from a Georgian bank. Ralph was not a smart little boy and did not understand the joke. He went back to that world and paid off with this card - to his joy, everything turned out and Ralph gained a rather beautiful body. After that, he ran to say thanks to his friend. The hacker was very surprised - how could a knowingly non-working card work ?! At this Ralph and left his friend, and he went to enjoy all the delights of his new world.

But now it's time for Ralph to go to school. He has never been there before, so he was very worried. But all his fears were in vain - he got into a pretty good company, but there were flaws. For the first time in his life, he saw a smoking man. Ralph often read about it, but he had never seen such a ritual. It was very exciting and he decided to try. But as soon as Ralph approached the smoking person, his head immediately began to spin and began to darken in his eyes.

“Obviously, this is just a new weapon disguised as a cigar,” Ralph said exactly that, for which he was gifted with a very bad look from a smoking person.

Ralph turned around and walked away, and he glanced into the pocket of the kuryaki — it will come in handy again. So Ralph lived and lived until he saw the girls in real life. These were truly divine creatures - beautiful legs, long hair, which Ralph had always dreamed of, and cheerful smiles. Ralf did not pay attention to other differences. And then he wondered - why he does not have a sister? The question was truly magnificent and with him Ralph went to bed.

The next morning, Ralph himself ran to school, taking with him yesterday's trophies - a look and a question. Approaching one girl, Ralph pulled a question from his pocket and presented it to a girl. He received nothing but a disapproving look. Then he went to the guys. All of them were almost like himself, but only by the growth of others, and with their eyes. Ralph got his eye on the kuryaks - ran around them all and asked a new question with expression - how to get acquainted with the girl? This time he was luckier and he learned a lot of new things and immediately went to test his knowledge on girls. This case was not easy, but it was crowned with success, and in one day Ralph found his sister and girlfriend. They were two completely different girls - the girl became a girl on very long legs and a short mind, and the girlfriend was a short girl, but with a lot of convolutions. As it turned out, the new sister was called Jeanne and her girlfriend Rishka. To Ralph, these two names seemed very strange, but he did not attach any importance to this. So stretched day after day, week after week. Ralph studied all the time in two schools - the school of life and the school of virtually real things.Everything was good, until Ralph asked another question - and who wrote all that, with what ...
