The End of the World
978-5-6053871-1-4
You can’t step into the same river twice. But how we sometimes long to go back to the time when we were little and the trees were big. And then everything would be just as it used to be, no doubt!
But what if everything changed in a single day? That’s exactly what happens in the book “The End of the World” — every few years, one world is completely replaced by another. New rules emerge, unfamiliar landscapes spring up, and this world is, of course, better than the last one. Best friends Nostik and Fet, whilst waiting for the end of the world, go into the forest to earn virtual coins — “kyu” — and use special abilities that let them read each other’s minds, fly above the ground, and improve the taste of food… But they always remember the snow-covered village cottage in the old world, where they were so happy. Who knows where it is now?
