Aiden

The noise of cars, the dirty air, and the constant hum. It's a big city. Basically, one family didn't like it, so they decided to move to the countryside, away from it all. They bought a house near the river. The village was called "Koshkina." They packed their things and left. Our Aiden lived with this very family; he's almost 17 years old.

Aiden didn't want to move at all, but no one really asked him. And here he was. Without friends, without the internet, without anything. It was like he'd entered another world.

One day, Mom couldn't take it anymore. *

• M: *"Come on, go outside already! You've been sitting at home all day! Get outside quickly!"

• Aiden rolled his eyes and went outside. The sun was shining really brightly, it was hot, and it smelled like the village. Aiden was walking with his headphones on and his phone in his ears, but when he looked up, he saw a meadow. There were flowers, tall grass, and everything. On one side, there was a mown soccer field, where some boys, about Aiden's age, were playing. The boys were shouting and pushing each other, and they were all shirtless because it was hot.
