    About this ebook

    "I’ve never been afraid of the night, but now I am. I’m drinking cup after cup of strong coffee, I wander around the house restlessly, I turn on the TV full blast and the only thought in my head is to stay awake.
    Don’t fall asleep, stay awake, no, you mustn’t, don’t fall asleep, sleeeep...
    It’s impossible to win this battle. Sooner or later I give in and my consciosness dissolves. And then I have a dream — it’s always the same dream..."

    Oksana Vasilenko

    Hi there! I'm glad you've paid me a visit. There's not much to tell about me, but some of it is pretty unusual. I was born and raised in Kyrgyzstan (most probably you have no idea where it is, but Google does). English is my second language, I'm a native Russian speaker. I work as a translator for Russian publishers translating books from English into Russian. I've translated books by Jerome K. Jerome, S. Maugham, Oscar Wilde, Kurt Vonnegut, Wilbur Smith, Irvine Welsh and the bestselling vampire book by Stephanie Meyer (the list is not comprehensive, of course). I've also translated poems by Sarah Teasdale which were recently published in Russia. I also write prose and poetry in Russian and English. You can read some of my English language writing for free here: http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/sc I'm also an illustrator and graphic designer. You can see some of my work here http://www.shutterstock.com/cat.mhtml?gallery_id=632050 Well, the rest doesn't really matter, but if you have any questions, just shoot :-) NOTE to my American readers: There is such thing as British spelling and I do prefer that; so if you see an unusual spelling, it is not wrong, it's just different.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
