(miniflash story with magic realism)

One day, Ivan was walking home late in the evening. He spent the night at his grandma’s house in the village. He and his friends played football in the village center until it got dark. But all his friends lived near the center, so Ivan had to walk home alone.

He knew the way very well, so he wasn’t scared even though there were no streetlights. His grandma was already waiting for him at home. He knew that because he could see a small window with light at the end of the street − it was his grandma’s house.

He was walking and holding the ball in his hands. Suddenly, the ball started glowing in an evil way… Ivan got very scared! He shouted, threw the ball into the bushes and ran home.

At home, he told his grandma what happened. She said: “That’s what happens when you stay out too late and don’t listen to your grandma!”
