Living has become better, living has become happier. A story about a creative effort of a modern novice writer.
Now fashion is - on historical discussions.
The novice writer at first read the miniature "Two small businessmen with big problems. The experimental essay with a brief comparative biographies," and then - a miniature "The First Congress of Soviet Writers. A literary and historical note".
There is a desire! There is a wish to write something ... In the style of "socialist realism." The word "socialist" needs to be replaced by something new, but it is later.
The novice writer thought ...
So.
A small businessman asked the driver of the excavator Armen to bury a plastic barrel on the industrial territory.
Is it a detective story or a production story?... (Fyodor Gladkov? "Cement"?) Later I'll decide ...
The excavator driver agrees (why does he agree?... well..., he agrees...) and begins to fulfill the request-assignment.
The excavator accidentally hits the barrel with a bucket. The cover of a barrel flies off ...
(Looks like Robert Lewis Stevenson, "Treasure Island" ... Adventures? ...)
The excavator driver sees the head appearing from the barrel. What kind of head is that?
The action of the story is transferred into a sphere of authorities. The driver of the excavator is contacting the authorities.
A lot of mysterious and terrible (a "horror" style? Edgar Allan Poe? ""The Cask of Amontillado"?) ...
It is assumed that the body of the mother of a small businessman and a suitcase with her clothes were in the barrel.
A small businessman - there is such a version - was afraid of something, decided to bury a barrel (hide the body and things), to announce that the owneress of things went somewhere.
The center of attention moves. Attention is directed to a small businessman. He 's in an official facility. Procedures begin. (Anatoly Koni? "On a course of life"?)
But he repels the official figure and runs away...
(Detective! Conan Doyle? O. Henry? ...)
So, a small businessman runs away...
Why is he small, not large?
The large ones are using not excavators, but, for example, an airplanes and a helicopters ...
It is logical!
A story in the style of a "modern realism" is written!
"Living has become better, living has become more fun!"
The beginner writer looked at the story with pleasure. A modern, a hot topic!
Where to publish?... Well, this is an another story...
