Татьяна, тридцатилетняя женщина, пережила сильный электрический шок, после которого стала свидетелем необыкновенного сна. В этом странном видении она была одета в черный космический костюм и выходила через открытую люк космического шаттла, погружаясь в состояние невесомости, стремительно направляясь к планете Земля, при этом перемещаясь сквозь разные исторические эпохи.

Однажды ей удалось вернуться в своё детство, куда она попала совершенно случайно. Вместо того чтобы просто наблюдать за своей юностью, Татьяна решает остаться и изменить ключевые моменты своей биографии — исправить ошибки, которые, как ей кажется, повлияли на её нынешнюю жизнь. С каждым решением она преодолевает преграды и возрождает в себе мечты, которые некогда были потеряны. Это путешествие не только меняет её собственную судьбу, но и дает ей возможность вдохновить окружающих, ведь каждый из нас иногда задумывается, как бы мы могли изменить своё прошлое.

CHAPTER ONE


TATIANA wakes up in the morning in her bedroom. She reaches for the bedside table and grabs her smartphone. With her other hand, she rubs her eyes and looks at the phone screen. Suddenly, her expression changes to one of hysterical astonishment.


TATIANA

Darn, it's dead even though it's plugged in.


She looks at the wall clock and stands up in horror. She bends down to the bedside table.


TATIANA

Ye gods! Overslept again… The boss will definitely fire me. I need to change the battery… Or maybe he'll just fine me?


TATIANA fiddles the plug of the adapter into the socket, which is lying on the bedside table, and stops when her smartphone emits the charging ringtone and the icon indicating that the device is charging appears. TATIANA slowly places the smartphone on the table and straightens up, but the smartphone emits the ringtone indicating that the charging has been disconnected.


TATIANA

What's going on?


TATIANA looks at the wall clock, sits on the edge of the bed, and tries again to plug in the charging device.


TATIANA

Will definitely get fired…


TATIANA rushes into the office and sits at her desk. An elderly woman approaches her.


MADONNA LOUISE

Late again?


TATIANA

Да у меня смартфон заглючил.


MADONNA LOUISE

And for what time is this? But, oh well, you will have to explain it to my husband… Go. He's already waiting for you.


TATIANA stands in the office of the boss, a small firm in New York City.


BOSS FREDDY KRUEGER

(Strictly)

It looks like you have definitely made lateness a norm?!


TATIANA

No, BOSS FREDDY KRUEGER. My alarm simply didn't go off… The battery died.


BOSS FREDDY KRUEGER

I am not going to listen to your false excuses. And you have also messed up again with purchasing materials for manufacturing our products in bulk.


TATIANA

What do you mean?


BOSS FREDDY KRUEGER

You mixed up debit with credit yesterday, withdrew cash from the company's credit card and paid for the order, and now my company is suffering losses due to the high interest rate.


TATIANA

But the client himself set such a condition that cash payment would suit him. Otherwise, our products would not have hit the store shelves.

BOSS FREDDY KRUEGER

Couldn't you have consulted with me or with my wife Glafira Akakievna and the company's chief accountant?.


TATIANA

So I turned to her. And she didn't inform me about what kind of card it was, and I thought it was a debit card… That's all. I asked, and she said it was as usual.


BOSS FREDDY KRUEGER

I am not going to figure out who is to blame, but all the interest from the unauthorized transaction will be deducted from your salary.


TATIANA stands dejected.


TATIANA

Perhaps the reason is not at all what I did? And personal animosity is to blame?


BOSS FREDDY KRUEGER

Perhaps so. All pretty blondes are dumb. And you shouldn't have turned down my invitation to a business lunch.


TATIANA

And what would Mars, your son, say? After all, we have already set a date for the engagement with him?!


BOSS FREDDY KRUEGER

Stop making excuses. If you are guilty, admit it. Stop wriggling like a snake.


TATIANA

Moreover, you are married, and I didn't want to deal with the chief accountant's problems either.


BOSS FREDDY KRUEGER

Just so you know, we have a family business, and you haven't been fitting into it lately.
