Making the House Cooler

Before I even think of packing my stuff for my incredible adventures to Moscow, which is the name of the package I got from the Russian travel company that I booked a vacation with to see the Gagarin memorial house, I wanted to see to it that by the time we get back home, I wouldn’t feel the rage of the summer sunshine inside the house. I decided to go green so we could save more money and have a better feel in the house. So I took some suggestions that I saw from the internet, as well as some advises from my peers that they said should put us in good condition. First, cut down on the level of interior heat in our home. I thought this one is logical since it would help the air conditioner work well, without worrying that it might break. I thought drapes should do the trick for the windows on this. Next is I should try to keep my body used to a little warmer temperature inside the house so the air conditioner unit won’t be using too much electricity. Lastly, they told me to add more fans so just in case, we could lower down bills.

A temple of evil

She loved him. And now wonder that he loved her. And still they couldn’t live together. Because there were not wanted people in his house. Not the enemies, but his parents. Two people, having been very kind, maybe even too kind to him before, have become quite different from now. Their aversion appeared to be pathological but she and he couldn’t do anything with it. And so they were not able to account for it.

His dwelling has become a temple of evil. Although on the surface it has been a simple two-storeyed building, nice and pretty, with a satellite TV box and central cooling systems. And a nice green garden around it. Like an optical illusion.

So, they couldn’t be together, being obliged to meet in a neutral zone, somewhere far, where no one could find them. In an old cafe, or in his comfortless garage with Mitsubishi wall mounted systems, that tried to make the space at least a little bit cozy, or even in his car. They went very far in a field, where they could kiss and embrace. And in some moments – back to the hated city.

She has been offering him to leave everything and runaway with her to the place where they could belong together. And she understood that it was in vain. She had nothing to lose except her high efficiency water heater. At the same time he had everything he could desire. She also understood that couldn’t last anymore. “I’ll kill you”, she thought. In the temple of evil…
