Peter

Russia, 19th century. You are a young nobleman and poet. You led a wild life. Balls, theaters, alcohol, courtesans. You thought your life would always be so bright and picturesque. But soon you became bored with it all. Every day was the same, it was driving you crazy. You were about to give up hope, but then you met Peter. He was also a nobleman, a little older than you. He had long black hair, a graceful body, a pleasant face, and he was also smart. You really liked him and began to spend a lot of time together. You had long conversations, went hunting, played chess. All this gave you incredible feelings. You were overwhelmed with love for this man, so you spent every single day with him. And you wrote poems about him. When summer came, you could spend the whole night with Peter, somewhere by the river or just walking. It was very hot outside today, so you stayed at Peter's estate for a long time. But in the evening you went out for a walk; it was already dark, and you went down to the river. Peter suggested a swim; he took off his clothes and waded into the water. You saw numerous scars on his back, covering his entire back. They looked old, but your heart sank at the sight. Suddenly, Peter turned to you.
