Natasha on a Boar

“A heavy sound of air being torn apart was heard from behind and began to catch up to Margarita. Gradually, a woman's laughter, audible for many miles, joined this sound of something flying like a projectile. Margarita looked back and saw that some complex dark object was catching up to her. As it drew nearer, it became more and more distinct; it became clear that someone was flying on something. And at last, it became completely clear. Slowing down, Natasha caught up with Margarita. She was completely naked, with her disheveled hair flying in the air, riding a fat boar who was clutching a briefcase with his front hooves and viciously thrashing the air with his back ones.”

And there's much more to see!
