Buch lesen: «Family Business»

Schriftart:

The greatness of father pushes the young man to crime. If the child can`t surpass his father in good deeds, then will surpass in bad deeds. Be looser for your kids. Whole world doesn`t need your victories.

His father was an important person. Equal to his father, his grandfather and even great grandfather. He continued their, own business, raised a son.

Here is harsh chin in an oak frame. Black tiny eyes, highlited with metallic luster, looking down from above, killing on the spot.

There are male line portraits on the wall in father`s cabinet. Grandfathers, great-grandfathers, cousins… Through the centuries his kin have grew from poor farmer`s family into a strong, extensive family. And now, because of Demyan, his genus is going to shrink.

There were different variations of faces: brown-haired, hot brunettes, in wigs and without, fat and skinny persons. But in their eyes was one common thing. They were looking at the horizon, as if bright future awaited them. They, who died a long ago, who was famous and important, and not even them, but their portraits, which a breathless, brainless and lifeless copies, even they have the right to look ahead. In to the bright future!

Silly irony: a piece of paperboard has a future, and you – don`t.

But what prevents Demyan`s portrait be painted? From the portrait he can look on the horizon as if his eyes are directed on a bright future. And, through the ages, some other Demyan, while he will be looking on this portrait, he will be suffering from only one question: «Why am I so miserable, and why they so great?»

Hm? But it is a good idea! People are just powder, so no one will remember you. But if you have a portrait… Maybe, this man had fear of mice and color of blood, but if any reviewer will look on the portrait, he would write an expressive article, so people could say next: «That was a great man!».
