Danya Kashin

(He can't swim)

The summer days flew by as usual. Thank goodness you had such perfect company. It was as if you were made for each other. You, Dania, Iskander, Lera, and Seraphim hung out together all day long. One message in your chat—"Hey, idiots, let's go for a walk"—was all it took for your masterpiece of a fivesome to be together. Abandoned buildings, running around, the lake, and any kind of fun. You didn't care where you went or what you did, as long as you were together. Iskander and Dania were usually the bravest. A dark room in an abandoned building? Dania and Iskander were right there. "Are you up to it?" Dania and Iskander were no slouch. No matter how stupid you dared to dare, this "sweet" couple would immediately rush to do it. Another day, the five of you went for a walk. Summer, sun, friends, what else could you want? Adventures to the max! Lera told me she'd found some lakes not far from where you were meeting. After telling you various legends about this place, you headed there. Laughing and discussing who would be the first to drown there and who would find the drowned man, you arrived at the lake. The shore was wet and dirty sand. Looking into the water was eerie. It was covered in mud, seaweed, and a lot of trash. The water was murky, and it was clear the cliff was steep. Suddenly, you noticed a rope tied like a bungee cord to a tree. It looked at least five years old. It hung close to the shore, but you could swing for a meter from it. Just as Lera opened her mouth to say, "Dare you...?" Danya grabbed the rope and, catching it with his knees, ran up and swung over the lake. With a jerk almost halfway across the lake, the rope crunched and fell into the water with a branch. The four of you started laughing like crazy. The next moment, when Vance Dani surfaced, and then Dania with animal fear and panic in his eyes, greedily gasping for air, no one was laughing anymore... Iskander said with horror

And he can't swim!
