During the end Soviet Russsia, businesses began to boom, the economy rose and all seemed well. Advertising became a big deal and firms competed against each other in several ways. Yuri Pertikoff, a high school graduate during the time, saw the world around him burn with the hot flame of success as he was left behind to decay in his own filth. His siblings became successful, his friends became successful but he stayed in the street selling cotton candy. The park where he sold his candy was due to be transformed into a high rise complex. He couldn't bear the thought of living homeless, jobless, and hopeless. He loved to see the children race towards him; he'd watch them play all day ad that would've been enough for him to mellow down his pain. He had to sabotage the complex or die trying...


For the childreno ¦


By battling through court, with what little money and support he had, the high rise complex project was moved several blocks away from the park, saving, his job and the joy of children. Yuri's employer saw his strength and was promoted as a factory worker that gave him double his pay. He didn't enjoy this life style, the sun was replaced by a warm lamp, the laughing child was replaced by loud and intolerable humming, and the toys were replaced with tools and machines. He stayed for a dull two years till he could no longer bear the life. He ran to the office and demanded his pay check before quitting. Then he ran with all the joy out of the factory.
But to his dismay, he slipped and fell into a pool of toxic, non-purified cotton candy solution. He struggled to escape and many of his former comrades tried to pull him out, but there was nothing anyone could have done. He sunk into the mixture and was lost forever...

To this day there was no man sold cotton candy in the park, yet there wasn't a single child without cotton candy leaving the park...
