Junior specialist of sales of foam-detergents local oil-fat plant Paul V. Maloletov was a middle-aged man, of medium height and moderate condition. Average ability and secondary education is fully consistent with average success in his career and very mediocre income. Together with his wife Aglaia F., son-a student Vitaly and labeling all the angles cat he lived on the third floor of a very mediocre Khrushchev close in a small lorry, inherited from his wife’s parents. Their town was as gray and nondescript as any average town in Central Russia. In short, his life was as dull and gloomy grey, like remnants of hair for early to start balding head and worn suit in which he usually went to work.
But he had one dream. Often, distracted from the boring business phone and computer, he looked at the far the clouds are hanging dark and heavy clouds outside the window of his office. Pavel Valentinovich still remembered how easily and freely he flew once to like the colorful carousel of childhood dreams. Remaining since then, the sense of lost happiness still stirs his soul. Unfortunately, in my youth to enroll to study to become a pilot, he did not succeed because of the very medium of vision and physical development. Because he long nights tossing and turning in bed, causing his sighs and groaning displeasure freely spread out better half. The flyer called him just now father-in-law because the son-in-law changed a few offices, until it was attached in the present. And only the boy he found understanding, making and launching paper airplanes, long gliding from the balcony on the trash cans in rickety fence.
But his whole life turned upside down literally in a moment when, one autumn evening, returning from work, he suddenly slipped on the icy pavement and releasing from the hands of the paunchy briefcase, which was more for solidity, fell with all his strength to the ground. The light momentarily faded in his eyes, and when his eyes began again to discern dimly burning lanterns, Paul noticed how easily swaying and circling, slowly rising up where. It was so nice and surprising that he wasn’t scared, but for some reason, even thought with relief that it all finally ended all this hopelessness and vanity. However, the rise was stopped by the branches of a tree, and the sufferer looked around. Around was the same deserted alley of the city Park, but it was hanging over her at a height of couple of meters, and under it lay his lifeless body! Feet in his shoes was hanging freely at the bottom, and it is unclear what caused them to break away from the earth.
From the stupor it brought childish voice suddenly sounded from below and behind, – “uncle, Uncle, what are you doing there?”. Beneath him stood a teenager, carrying a briefcase dropped. Not knowing what to say, Paul V. was embarrassed, pretending to consider something in the bare branches of the maple, but quickly found and strictly ordered the nerve to submit your tool. He did not argue, and, throwing the briefcase a strange adult in the right hands, hurried away by his boyish deeds. Soar was the body gained extra weight and slowly descended to earth. Puzzled by the incident, the man wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down on a bench for more information for consideration. By simple experimentation and reasoning he came to a startling conclusion.
It turned out that his only and favorite, no matter what the body in some mysterious way suddenly lost all his weight and to the earth it binds only to luckily find themselves full of edibles portfolio. Clothes and shoes, alas, does not provide even a zero balance, and his whole being now irresistibly drawn to the sky that looked basically quite seductive, but not included in the immediate plans and made significant inconvenience in the future existence. Even sitting on the bench, Paul was forced to hold on to avoid being carried away by a sudden gust of wind, like a balloon, and he had only to let go as it has saved the correct portfolio. Easily and rapidly navigate in space by the power of thought, like the heroes of comics have him until something worked.
Constantly looking back and trying not to attract attention, Paul departed floating-flying step in the farthest and darkest corner of the Park and started training for insurance tied to the bench with the belt of trousers. Space for free flights was not enough, but it was enough to realize the difficulty of your situation. Lifting it into the air it was not difficult, especially if for speed waving his arms like wings, but the move in the horizontal plane was already worse. Had to do is a completely ridiculous stroke like floating on a dog. But the most difficult to descend. This required to flip upside down and actually dive in. Thus from the pockets of flying things, the hem of the jacket falls off his head, and legs bared hairy legs in socks full of holes that it was completely undignified.
Having understood the gravity of his lightweight provisions Pavel Valentinovich went home, thinking about how I don’t scare the spouse and other household members. Cautiously entering the hall, he habitually gave the portfolio of products released to meet Aglaia Feodorovna and immediately smacked his head on the low ceiling. The bottom fell down fainting wife, and jumped at the noise son clapped his hands. And the only cat left on the view, with a short mavom jumping out of the corridor away. In the room something crashed, but Paul did not pay attention to the little things, and grasping the hanger autumn coat, returned to the ground under your feet. Further, he was cautious and went everywhere prigroziv pockets with a metal tool. Bringing in a sense of his better half, he told her about what had happened to him. Incredulously sniffed at him, she eventually drank herself and calmed down a bit, laying aside all talk in the morning.
It turned out to be wiser than the evening, and at a reasonable Council missus Paul did not go to work, and called the house doctor. That such cases have not yet encountered and wrote a lot of prescriptions and referrals for tests, anxiously glancing at the hovering at the level of the chandeliers of the patient. Temperature and redness is not found, but just in case the officer still issued a release three days. The specialists and even magnetic resonance imaging of the skull, the diagnosis is not clear. Nothing gave a study on tribal lines, in connection with the calling now the new Association name. None of the ancestors similar to history. Urgently summoned to a family Council in-laws only poohali and advised no one to shoot the breeze about the phenomenon. But it was too late.
Of course, first of all to see driveways gossips, and now Maloletov under any pretext Laden with not only neighbors, but also all their friends who wish to personally join the unexplored mysteries of nature. Contributed Sonny, started to teach lessons at home exclusively in the company of 5-6 of his classmates. The climax of excitement was reached at the time when released on a walk, the cat climbed for some reason, on a tree, where he stuck to a decent altitude, releasing an inhuman roar the surrounding area. It is clear that long tolerate this mess was impossible, but to call firefighters being available to almost superhero, silly. Had Paul, with cords of rope in front of the audience courtyard of old ladies to save non-human animals, vozneseni to the sky like an angel of the Lord. The elderly pilgrim crossed together and posted on YouTube recorded the mobile video, when they met him bowing low and honoring the Holy.
Invited sorcerers-psychics long and vaguely prophesied about God’s Providence, the influence of the planets and extraterrestrial intelligence, but unanimously agreed on the fact that received a slight concussion of the brain discovered in this undiscovered source of inner strength and channel of communication with a parallel universe. But because more than anything paranormal happening, gradually lost interest in this topic. But Aglaia was more concerned with quite different questions. As to consummate the marriage familiar for many years a missionary was not quite comfortable, she had to take a more active upper position, which brought some recovery in their intimate sphere. Not lost and the neighbors, quickly realizing how you can use the special powers of a local celebrity. They went with the suggestions to hang a satellite dish, antenna or air conditioning, but quickly broke off, realizing that Paul can only pull, but not lift weights.
Then there were the local reporters first, and then the media. They’ve been filmed and interviewed all the witnesses of the historic acccess, but publications then for some reason never appeared. But soon the apartment Maloletnyh visited boring subject in plain clothes and forced to see the painting under the rules of air traffic. Now he was forbidden to fly near the administrative, military and protected sites at a height of over 50 meters and were instructed to equip themselves constantly flashing LEDs front and rear. Then came the men in uniform and taken away in an unknown direction, where Paul was soon back in one, but gloomy. He long was silent, referring to a subscription about nondisclosure, but then still told that trying to use it as a biological drone failed due to poor tactical and technical characteristics – low speed and takeoff weight does not allow to even equip it with light weapons or surveillance devices.
At work with understanding and interest met find themselves an outstanding and valuable asset of a colleague. Women began to ogle and release clearly jokes, and the boss was invited to the office for a serious conversation. It turned out that the bright minds of local marketing is ripe unprecedented advertising campaign. Unfortunately, the shooting of the video for display on the Central TV had to be postponed for financial reasons until better times, but the sketch of the poster and the booklet was ready. Alas, even brought from the capital the professional photographer failed to turn hovering on the second floor of Paul V. Superman under the slogan “Our shampoo inspires!”. Above all, he recalled jumping from the roof of the banker of the bankrupt and in the red tights and blue shorts looked like the player of Russian national football team after a hard match against Andorra.
Time passed, and newfound hope for the couple hatched the monetization of talent, and the improvement of living conditions melted as money in contact with ruthlessly-reality, stubbornly unwilling to give Maloletov chance to finally heal as people and even to go to Turkey to find out what allinclusive. Ray of light dawned, when Paul during a family kultpohod in a visiting circus tent easily eclipsed a full-time magician, delighted applauding Maestro and forgetting to hold his wife as a sure and steady anchor in life. He flew over the heads of the stunned spectators and ascended to the dome, like the great David Copperfield, and it was secured a year contract with the impresario. And here ought to put an end to this extraordinary story, if the homemaker could not see into the next room just a dozen half-naked Actresses of the corps de ballet, which obviously will accompany now the star of the stage on the road that standing destroyed a brilliant artistic future of our hero.
One hot and muggy summer days Pavel Valentinovich went with the family on the river. Keeping a jealous spouse for the full waist, and he entered the water, but to dive into it could not, because he was essentially weightless, and she pushed the man out. Then, wanting to kolanuts, he immersed in her hands and soaked in the gentle river water. This stroke enough that the unfortunate bather sprang into the sky and flew upward, rising warm air currents rushing from overheated the earth. He first flew as easily and freely as in the distant childhood dreams, not paying more attention to the screaming from fear Aglaia and waving to him from the bottom beachgoers. Driven by a fresh breeze, he rushed over the woods and fields, with every minute seeming less and praznicima. But it did not frighten but filled the soul of the long-awaited happiness, joy and colors that had nothing more in common with his last dull and colorless life.
