Ari's fear

Ari heard the voice of the woman who warned her fellow citizens from danger. The heat, posture and those words almost made her lose consciousness. She almost shouted and started an attack right in that instant. But she composed herself, she was made composed.

Outside, the singing and cheers were drowning out the sound of the woman’s warnings. And then, they felt the heavy movement of the figure.

He was the first one to come out, the Troyans barely realised what was happening. They fell one after another to the vanguard’s advance. In a few hours the Achaea fleet would have traced back their steps and the city would without a doubt fall to their hands. Finally: a fabulous bounty, becoming a part of history as great heroes. Although, in that moment, the only thing in her mind was finding and killing that woman. The woman who awakened fear in her.

Virtual worlds

He walked through the rickety room; slowly, lighting his way with a flashlight of which the batteries were about to die. The wooden floor creaked with every step, despite his efforts to be completely silent, and he could feel the grim air finding its way to the room through the glassless windows. He had been moving around the abandoned village for hours. Even though he knew about the traps and the lurking enemies, he still wanted to go there. He needed to test himself. His palms were sweating and his heart was about to melt from the effort. And, to top it off, he needed new batteries to maintain at least a cone of light in the middle of that almost absolute darkness. A creak behind him made him look back. He unloaded the magazine. The blood splat everywhere, but it was his. A second enemy was hiding behind the first and slashed his stomach open with their claws. He had only one option left. If he didn’t do that he would be dead and none of the suffering up to this point would matter. H...

The mariachi's song

The mariachi, like the movies, sings by the table: My love, if you give me your valour, if I dare to love you, my sun, I’ll idolize you. Ana plays with the wine glass between her fingers and seems to believe the lyrics. Love is only chemistry, she knows it. She promised time and time again not to get carried away by feelings, much less this one. My love. I’m going to dream about you with cherubs, with you I’m going to take a stroll through the clouds, with you I’m going to take a stroll in the clouds, with you I’m going to take a stroll in the clouds… She thinks that she has to tell him she loves him. That it’s stupid, but necessary. The wine, the mariachi, the song. She looks at him in the eyes and tells him. He liked hearing that. She has seen in his pupils that he has plans. She thinks she has made a mistake, one which won’t repeat itself. Find the original here .

Non-stop

Any day now he’ll do it, I’m sure of it. He’ll wake up like always, he’ll get dressed, have that horrible coffee in that horrible bar, sit at his workplace and listen to everything he doesn’t care about: how smart one’s sons are, how big another’s bed is and how sad is the life of the guy from the table at the end of the office; after that, he’ll balance budgets, prepare payrolls infinitely higher than his own, try to take a deep breath and realize that inside there it is impossible to get another gulp of air; he’ll look at the door and he’ll bite his lip anxiously, get up and walk slowly to the exit and he’ll find the way there endless, but he’ll get out, get out to the street and feel renovated, clean, complete, he’ll start then to roam aimlessly, without any hurry, and each step will be a new and exciting decision.
