Stalker-Project Svyatogor, or Way of the Black Stalker

This story describes not so much physical as psychic manifestations of the Chernobyl anomalies. The main character of the story, collectively, at first, far in spirit from the Area, so that the reader along with him began a gradual immersion into an alternate reality. I have tried to reflect what I imagine the gameplay of Stalker, trying not to dwell on a single event, to make a move story such that the reader have the feeling of non-linearity: as if that will read it in next moment, will depend on how he perceived what you have just read. The course of events is similar to the gameplay of future games – each character is independent, and not waiting for it to appear in the field of view of the hero, but with every minute the events are interwoven thicker, then a single thread to join the final. What? And that nobody knows.
