History

I only can plug the wound so that he won't lose more blood. Nobody can hear my shouts: "Help me, help me!. Relax Kevin, don't worry everything will be OK!" But I don't believe my own words.
I only hear shots and booms. Kevin closes his eyes and.....RINGGGGGGGG

I don't understand

I don´t understand how I could remember my life in pictures in just thirty seconds.I never understood why I decided to do parachuting.
Now I don´t understand how I could write this story and how you can
be listening to this now, two years after my fatal accident.

The Race

A madman escaped from the asylum and began to circle around the building. The security person ran and ran behind him and when he finally caught up with the madman, he took him to his cell.
From then on, he would hear the madman crying from his cell every day, You couldn’t catch me! I was two laps ahead!

What does she think?

I wish I knew what Africa thinks when she closes her eyes, snaps the fingers of his right hand, bows his head down and drops a lock of blond hair on the cheek when she smiles to herself for no apparent reason breathing deeply, as if she was remembering something unexplainable... but that is impossible… two hours ago a nurse told me that the Africa body had stopped breathing…

Enough is enough

 So much pain, suffering and control. She is unable to stand it even one more second. She denies; it is unnecessary, she doesn't deserve this. How long does she have to endure it? She makes a decision: she manages to stop laughing and yells “Stop tickling me!”

Delay

She was at the airport. Her flight had been delayed. She wouldn´t arrive in time. She felt panic. 

“What shall I do? “She asked herself.

He wouldn´t expect her, he would think that her answer will be no and he would leave without her…

She must think quickly or she would be alone again...

Victoria

“Victoria? – he called her.” Nobody answered. He couldn’t turn on the lights. What was that viscous substance? Who was lying on the floor? Victoria was standing in front of him, however she was on the floor surrounded by blood too! Hands were choking him. He struggled to get away from them, until he saw his attacker… His own face?

Farewell

Finally came the day when she left. She had decided to go and live away, far from here. I always wondered if I was responsible for that decision. I will never know the answer. I only know that she vanished like the smoke of the train that was getting away from me.

Distraction

She was there, paralyzed with terror. She wanted go away but she couldn’t because something prevented her. She could remember a very handsome man saying something, but what would it be? Now she listened to his voice and her family, they told her open your eyes but she couldn't wake up.

Dream Travel

Everything is dark on this train but a crack in the trunk let me see medieval villages with fun minstrels, circuses and enchanted forests filled with mythological animals.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

My owner fell asleep while I waited full of clothes that bothered my zippers. With whom would I dream this time?

The Alarm Clock

Damn, 7:00. And again I have a hangover, the taste of cigarettes, vodka and lipstick.
I turn off the alarm and continue sleeping.
I curse again. It is 12:37, Wednesday.
Another interview that I have not arrived on time to.

Do you believe in luck?

John exclaimed, "We've won the lottery, we've won the lottery!"
Mary woke up frightened. "What?"

 John showed the lottery ticket, and explained that they had the winning ticket, they were millionaires.

John quickly dressed and went with the ticket. When John went to pick up the ticket, Mary went to buy bread at the bakery.

John was very nervous, he looked at the ticket all the time, when suddenly...oops! The ticket escaped from his hands, and went out for the window of the car and went flying and flying…

John couldn't believe it, he had lost the ticket. Back home, he was thinking how to tell this to Mary.

John came home very disappointed, Mary asked him what happened; he told her what happened.The surprise came when John saw that Mary smiled and showed him the winning ticket.

A Bad Dream?

I woke up feeling something strange, some soreness. I could not move, with scratches and a headache that didn’t let me think. I suddenly started having flashes. What had happened last night? A bad dream?

I turned on the television to relax, just bad news came, one of them surprised me the most, it was a weird one that happened near my house. Another flash came to me suddenly, streets, shops, bars,... amazed by the coincidences with the event, it scared me. A bad dream?

She

A strong shock, obscurity, confusion. There! Lies in that deep dark pit, her beautiful golden hair now is stained, his stiff torso as ever, now she has only one of her thin and shiny legs, her arms are amputees, her elegant dress ... Oh! Yes, I will have to ask my mom for another doll.
