A short story inspired by the novel by the Czech writer Ota Pavel, which helped me survive the hardest time in my life. "I wanted to kill myself a hundred times when I couldn't stand it anymore, but never did. I guess subconsciously I wanted to kiss the mouth of the river again and fish for silver fish. This fishing taught me patience and memories, and helped me live." Ota Pavel, Smrt krasnych srncu
