Svetlana de Rohan-Levashova.   Revelation

                  – Oh, where is my mother? Who are you? What did you do with my mother?! –
            The boy hissed indignantly. – Bring her back immediately!

                  I liked his fighting spirit, considering the hopelessness of our situation.
                  – The point is that your mother has not been here. – Stella whispered. – We met
            your mother at the "floor" from which you "fell" here. They were very worried about
            you, because they could not find you and we offered to help. But, as you see, we did
            not take enough care and got into the same terrible mess…

                  – How long have you been here? Do you know what he will do with us? – I tried
            to speak confidently.
                  – We are quite new here... He brings new people all the time, sometimes little
            animals, then they disappear and he brings new ones.
                  I looked at Stella with horror:

                  – It is a real world and absolutely real danger! It is not that innocent beauty
            which we created earlier! What shall we do?
                  – Leave. – The little girl persistently repeated.

                  – We can try, can’t we? Gran will not leave us too, if things get really dangerous.
                    Probably, we can get out by ourselves, if she has not come yet. Don’t you worry,
                    she will not leave us.
                  I wish I had her confidence! Although I never was too fearful, this situation made
            me very nervous, because the matter was not only about us, but also about those who
            we  came  to  rescue  from  this  horrific  situation.  However,  I  had  no  idea  how  to
            scramble out of this nightmare.
                  – There is no time here, but he usually comes in at one and the same interval,
            approximately, twenty-four earthly hours. – Suddenly the boy answered my thoughts.

                  – Was it today? – Stella asked with obvious relief. The boy nodded.
                  – Then, shall we go? – She gave me a significant look and I understood that she
            asked me to "put" my "protection" on them.

                  Stella was the first who put out her red head outside...
                  – Nobody! – She rejoiced. – Gosh, what a nightmare!
                  Immediately  I  started  climbing  after  her.  Here  was  a  real  nightmare  indeed!
            Human spirits hung in "bunches" near our strange "place of incarceration"... They
            hung  head  downward,  suspended  by  their  feet,  forming  something  like  inverted
            bouquets.

                  We came closer – nobody showed any signs of life...
                  – They are totally "pumped out "! – Stella was terrified. – There is not even a
            drop of life- force in them! All right, let’s run away!!!

                  We  were  off  like  a  shot,  absolutely  not  knowing  where  we  running,  simply
            wishing to be as far as possible from the blood-freezing horror... We did not even
            imagine that we could bump into the same or even worse thing.
                  Suddenly it grew very dark. Dark blue clouds rushed across the sky, as if a strong
            wind  pushed  them,  although  there  was  no  wind  whatsoever.  Blinding  lightning
            flashed in the bowels of black clouds; the tops of mountains blazed with a red glow...
