Go Dog Go Café 
Thank you once again for this wonderful opportunity to showcase our works!
No poems this week (cue collective sigh of relief!), but I’ve been collecting opinions on how to sum up the year 2020 as a epitaph on its tombstone, now that it’s coming to an end. Visit my blog to see what people are saying would make a good epitaph for 2020, and to offer your own candidate!

I wrote this story in 2009 in Russian and then translated it into English (less than 270 words)). I’ve just posted it onto my new blog to share on Promote Yourself Monday. By 2016 the story has grown into a play and a theatrical performance “We All Live In A Computer Game”.
