The Stranger by Kateryna Zhdanova

Oh, I am sure that you know the feeling,
when your day went wrong from the very beginning, you stood on the back of your beloved dog from the wrong foot, the coffee spilled onto a just ironed shirt and a chain of failures accompanies you all day. That time you don’t think that you got into a book of your favorite author, and soon you will become the keeper of the gateway to another world.
No, you just ride the subway with a face full of sadness and hatred for the whole world.  And I think everyone will agree that morning in subway can be called an exhibition of discontented people, where you can see the dissatisfaction of different degrees or even the consequences of that.
Let’s see it on our own. Here sits a guy with bruise on his eye and “lights up” the way. We can suppose that yesterday this knight had an interesting evening and defended his honor by playing cards. Why I think so? Because there are cards stuffed on his wrists. Why not interpret it like this?
And above him stands a girl who is clearly unsatisfied that her place is not given to her. And we can understand the way she felt, because you can’t feel great on heels in the subway - it’s kind of a nature law.
But sometimes in the morning there is not such an idyll of indifference and hatred.
There are days when a person, who has slept right amount of time, who is satisfied with himself and his life comes through the door. He possibly washed his hair and definitely brushed his teeth. He put on what he wants, and not what others would like to see on him, he is comfortable with himself externally and internally. He smiles, but perhaps to himself, rejoicing and at the same time not annoying those around him.  Although whom I deceive, of course annoying.  But he does not care, he thinks about what is dear to him and his dreams.
He dreams of what would have happened if he had found himself in his favorite book, waiting for Hogwarts letter. What would happen if he was the last man on Earth, if he got to heaven or hell or just reincarnated? And what would he like more in that life  - reading or watching movies? Would he love cats more than dogs?
And every day he goes to subway to think about his second imaginary life that he could possibly have in other realities. He is interested in fantasizing and inventing a new world, a better one, the world full of joy, love and life.
He is an albino in his inner world. He is like one of endangered species of people, who enjoy every day and charge other people only with positivity.
And despite the fact that, all other people try to lure him to their side, by rubbing near him, pushing him, screaming in their common manner, he does not give up and goes to infect other people with positivity as a real hero of our time.
