Each story in the collection is like a coin that the author puts in the hands of the reader, encouraging them to make a fateful choice together with the heroes. What will happen when a young couple decides to shelter a stray cat? When a six-year-old boy secretly takes his mother's music box? Or a drunken group goes hunting? As soon as you flip the coin, the consequences of the choice will be fatal. Someone will be pushed into the abyss by a monster from the otherworld, and someone by their own ambitions, greed, or just stupidity. But until the coin falls, while the melody plays from under the ground, while experiments with time continue, and until the "hail" hits, there is an opportunity to live this story of choice and its acceptance. The collection includes eleven stories that combine elements of social fiction, dystopia, horror, parables, and biblical motifs. But, despite the presence of mysticism in many plots, the most terrible evil for the heroes turns out to be reality.
