    On a cold winter day in Moscow, there was an alchohol spill in house, the candle fell on the floor, and flames blazed. The house was on fire instantly.

    Assasinated
    I knew there were many people who hated me for being too wealthy, but I never knew they wanted to kill me. One morning in my farm, I got shot by someone 50 yards away using a 1861 rifle. The wound was close to my heart, and I had no chance of surviving now. At age 30, I have died young, but lived a very happy short life.
