Down Among the Fishes
by Natalka Babina

Fiction or non fiction? The author tells us: “Not everything in this story is fictitious, and any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, or real events is by no means always purely coincidental. If this means that so-called official personages will come and pay me a visit, then I will simply deny everything. For the benefit of those plainclothes art experts, I can add that the events of the story take place in 2012.”
