    The Fairy Tale of how writer became the user of the slot machine

  The Fairy Tale of how writer became the user of the slot machine
  
  
  A writer was walking down the street.
  
  Literary Museum of Alexander Pushkin!
  
  "Once upon a time literary work was the occupation of representatives of privileged classes. The national book market was creating, developing, extending. People with literary abilities was not so much. They were in the public eye. They didn't need mass media advertising. The general concepts of honor extended to algorithms of receiving money in exchange of results of creative activity. It was the era of silver ruble. Pushkin gained noticeable income from the literary occupations. He figuratively spoke of the existence of his own village on mount Parnassus. That is, his creative occupations yielded to him constant and noticeable revenue."
  
  The writer went further.
  
  Literary Museum of Maxim Gorky.
  
  "There were times when the national book market was created. And together with the market it was created also influential media layer. Literary abilities, in itself, had the lesser impact on an economic situation of the author. Someone could be on the wave of luck, as Maxim Gorky. Someone could "to saw" feuilletons during a considerable part of the life, gradually losing health ..."
  
  Literary Museum of some writer, a soviet functionary.
  
  "The fantom of the literary market remained, but writers were increasingly in the position of people working under the contract of employment. Not a bad existence was provided to the adapted to the politic mode and capable creative persons. There were pros and cons. The country was a reading state, to some extent - thanks to Gorky..."
  
  Somewhere, "in the West", writers, who had a luckiness, were acquainting with visionary and perspicacious publishers, were receiving a good income...
  
  Some kind of cultural institution with a sign. On the plate - the name of some figure of the era of "perestroika". Next to the cultural institution - an office of an Internet company.
  
  "Somehow coincided two processes. Persistent and purposeful destruction of the national book market, accompanied by a sharp decrease in the number of publishers and organizations of book trade, the practical elimination of competition in the book trade business. And the creation of Internet platforms for the "sale" by the authors of their own books."
  
  The writer came to the Internet cafe. Nearby is a salon with slot machines.
  
  "The difference is, generally, not big. The user directs to the Internet platform via communication lines the own literary work. He throws coins into the slot machine (or inserts banknotes). Whether the prize is possible? Is it possible to win?"
  
  The case, when the slot machine showed on a scoreboard a prize - one million rubles, - was remembered up. The owner of the automatic machine explained the appeared figure (one million rubles) with technical failure. The player "embraced" this slot machine and spent "in an embrace" with automatic machine several weeks, insisting on payment of a prize. Gradually the monotony of a situation began to cause bewilderment, newspapers ceased to publish information on this case.
  
  "To drink a cup of coffee?"
  
  The writer went to an Internet cafe.
