Cemetery watchman sets up hidden camera and falls asleep

Her thoughts were interrupted by Sergey: “You say your father’s following you? Like, in your dreams?” “No, he’s always with me. In my head and my heart.

He keeps calling me to him, like he’s commanding me. My sister Tanya’s heart couldn’t take it, and she left. But I don’t want to.

I dream of a family and children.” “Maybe visit your father’s grave more often, then pray for him in church? My grandma always said God helps. When my grandpa died, he often appeared in her dreams.

So she turned to God, and grandpa stopped bothering her.” Katerina just shook her head in frustration and said, “If you knew how many times I’ve been to church…

Prayed, confessed, took communion. Visited holy sites. The local priest said my father’s soul is restless, it’s lonely, wandering, and can’t find peace.”

Sergey felt deep pity for Katerina. He wanted to help her but didn’t know how. “What did your father die of? Illness?” Sergey asked, unexpectedly switching to “you.”

The girl was so sincere and genuine that he instantly felt fond of her. “No, not illness. He died tragically while fishing with two friends.

The boat was swept away by the current and capsized. They found the friends’ bodies, the boat’s remains too, but not my father. The police and volunteers searched for him long, but no result, we buried an empty coffin.”

Katerina took a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped sudden tears from her eyes. “Did you love your father?” Sergey asked. “Yes, of course, I still love him.

He raised us alone, Mom died during Tanya’s birth. Father always said we’re family, tied by an invisible thread no one can break.” Their conversation made time fly by quickly.

They didn’t notice dawn breaking. Katerina glanced at her watch and said, “Sergey, I have to go.

The first bus is coming soon. Thanks for sheltering me, for not letting me freeze.” Sergey caught himself not wanting to part with Katerina so easily…
