Liam and Kostya

It was good though. How did you and your friends get to the point where you almost set the apartment on fire? Who the hell knows.

You're an ordinary student, you know a ton about chemistry, and of course your friends take advantage of it. Just mention it to them, and they're gone. They're cool, but sometimes they're so stupid and irritable it's just unbearable.

You met them at the beginning of university, their names were Liam and Kostya, there were also two girls studying with you, Vera, but she didn’t believe in anyone, and Elya, Elya in turn believed that you would burn the apartment to ashes.

It was a quiet day. Jesus had given you the day off, but your friends, a slob, invited you to their apartment in another city. You didn't refuse, after all, you didn't often go out, so deciding it was a great idea, you packed your things and were in town an hour later.

The day was going well, you ate, drank, had fun, and in the evening you were in the apartment. It was small, with three guest rooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and, of course, your room. Everything was going great until Kosta's scream was heard.

• Let's...
  Before he could finish, he was already standing in your room, with a smile that meant "it's all over, it's all over," and Liam was standing there with a lighter, handing him a can of gas.

"We have a chemist here! Nothing will happen, we'll see what happens!"
Liam said, lighting the gas just as Kostya released it from the canister. "To say you were shocked by these creatures is an understatement. Your shock is beyond words. "
