Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers. In the works of professionals there is the most important difference - excogitation. But, oddly enough, in a school literature course, you don’t realize the full power of fiction.

Babis was many things but not a lotus eater. He did not ignore the difficulties the whole exercise present-ed. Had he ever said publicly he’d be a writer? No. He had not even wholly admitted as much to himself, he had barely muttered that he would simply start to write. Yet, he wouldn’t tell a soul, not even that. As to the question of how Alexandra, whichever Alex-andra, had stood in his way, stopping him from do-ing so up to now, he would most likely remain mute. Because neither Elstat23 nor Eurostat maintained any statistics on all those who, though having the appe-tite and guts to write, never did so because of a fe-male presence. After all, while the writers who wrote something worthwhile, partly by not being account-able to any woman, who would either make their life a living hell or heaven, were not rare, those who had their own as a faithful supporter, tireless reader, lis-tener and editor, and to whom they sometimes owed, financially and psychologically, their very ability to write or those whose repulsion for married life, the hatred or envy towards their better half, her disgust
