Summary
Chapters

Hey, um. I'm not too good at introducing myself, but here goes, I guess. My name is Jack Eaton and I'm a detective. Ya know, one of those depressed dickheads that contemplate whether living life is all that worth it. I'm not well liked by people either, except my boss, Gary Green. He's also my adoptive father, but let's keep that between us, okay? I already get bullied enough at work as is. Anyway, Gary gave me this case that's a bit on the odd side. I'm supposed to investigate this cave with a golden lake within it. That water has healing powers, so it's our department's job to protect it at all costs. Apparently that lake also has a monster residing in it, so that sounds like a fun time, doesn't it? There's people living in that cave too and that makes absolutely no sense to me. Guess we'll have to see if I end up like the other detectives that were on this case before me which is kinda, well. Dead. Wish me luck.

I decided to take a break from Surrealism for some time. I think it's too crazy, even for a Surrealist, to think of something surreal and write about it when people aren't even willing to believe in reality and look the truth in the eyes. So, I started writing Za Volodju! I'll upload a chapter at a time. I was always bad in these summaries, so here's a colorful excerpt from the second chapter of my book ;) "But the Library wasn’t just a place of imprisonment without a trial. Most of the people who got incarcerated didn’t get out of there alive, simply because they didn’t survive the gruesome tortures. People got beaten to death, mutilated, raped, starved, drowned, strangled … Sometimes with the aim to get some confession out of them but mostly just for fun. As the Aces liked to say, The Library is a place where you get to read a person like an open book. With other words, the Library was the portal to hell."
