The woman from Zagornaya
Half a year of headaches the doctors could not explain, gone in one evening. The woman said it had to be repaid in a year.

How it works
The help genuinely worked, which is why the price is not up for discussion. The time 21:15 is named twice and turns the story into an appointment.
Every story here is fiction. Any resemblance to real people or events is coincidental.
