Gypsy Woman with Children at an Abandoned Village Plot
Noteinvolves a childstrong language
The story is very old, and I myself was a little shit about 10 years old back then. For the summer I'd go to my grandparents in a village, where besides them there lived maybe 40 families at most, there was one school, one church and everything as usual. Wooden little houses, a couple of apartment blocks. And there were also abandoned houses, or at least nobody lived there at that moment, but we'd climb around them without a care. Anyway, I'm walking back from hanging out, it's toward evening, but it's still light outside, since summer is in full swing. I look at the sides of the road, at the different houses, just admiring things in general. I pass one of those abandoned plots, I turn the corner and see the vegetable garden of that same plot. I look, and in the garden there's a gypsy woman standing in some rags and with a bunch, like 6 kids, also dark, and every one of them nasty. I look at the gypsy woman again, and I'm speeding up my step, I look, and she's got a baby in her arms too. Though that's already fucking strange, since we never had any of those around and everyone knew each other, and then as I looked at the gypsy woman's face, she started smiling and just threw her kid right on the ground, and keeps looking at me smiling with 3 teeth. I, thoroughly freaked the fuck out, ran home, asked the old folks about gypsies, but nobody had seen them before me, nor after me either, so that's the kind of horror it was.

История очень старая, и сам я тогда был пиздюком лет 10. На лето уезжал к старикам в деревню, где помимо них жило еще семей 40 от силы, была одна школа, одна церковь и всё как обычно. Деревянные домики, пару многоэтажек. И были еще дома заброшенные, или там никто по крайней мере не жил на тот момент, но мы по ним лазели не стремаясь. В общем, иду я с гулянки, время под вечер, но на улице всё еще светло, т.к. лето в самом разгаре. Смотрю по сторонам дороги, на разные дома, любуюсь в общем. Прохожу один из таких заброшенных участков, прохожу угол и вижу огород этого же участка. Смотрю, а в огороде цыганка стоит в каких-то тряпках и с кучей, где-то человек 6 детей, тоже темных и все как один противные. Смотрю еще раз на цыганку, а сам шаг ускоряю, смотрю, а у неё в руках еще младенец. Хоть это уже пиздец странно, ибо у нас такие и не водились никогда и все друг друга знали, так а как я посмотрел в лицо цыганке, она улыбаться начала и чадо своё прям на землю бросило, и дальше на меня смотрит улыбаясь в 3 зуба. Я знатно ахуеев побежал до дома, расспросил стариков про цыганей, но никто их до меня не видел, впрочем как и после меня, вот такая вот жесть.
