    Every night from 03:00 to 03:05 a whistle is heard in the empty streets of the city. Quiet, muffled, but at the same time so loud, echoing from the walls of buildings. This whistle was cheerful, spirited, but at the same time so soothing, like a lullaby. There was a belief that if someone, whether a child or an adult, looked at the mysterious creature that made this whistle, they would never be found again.They say that this mysterious figure steals anyone who takes even a single glance at it, and that's exactly what happened. Simon came from a dysfunctional family, with constant arguments, shouting, and fights. His father was a drug addict who constantly bullied his older son, forcing him to kiss a snake or subjecting him to harsh punishments, such as sleeping outside in the winter without any clothes. It was a cruel environment. Little Simon believed that if this mysterious figure took him away, he would no longer have to live in this hell, where his father was a drug addict and his mother did nothing to stop her husband's abuse.So, one night, at exactly 03:00 a.m., little Simon carefully opened the curtains to see the mysterious whistle.
