Loneliness

During dinner at an expensive restaurant she, without saying a word, was listening to her future husband talking about his business. "My mother says he's the perfect man for me" she thought. A few hours later, she lay in her bed. Finally, she felt affection, warmth, comfort, welfare and protection. He was hugging her pillow.

The Great Match

He had trained so much for that match. It was being difficult, but he needed to win.
Suddenly, everything turned off. There had been a short circuit and the match had disappeared. Angrily, he took off the Wii remote control from his right arm. Then, the one from his left arm, and went to sleep.

Smells

And in the bakery where I am, I start to get a delicious smell of freshly baked muffins, I am hungry...now smells like chocolate croissants....I want to try....A guy comes into the bakery, He looks at me, I look at him...I close my eyes...I lose my jelly bean buttons, my legs melt in your mouth...

The Mode

10:35 AM: " Number 196, table 8 ", the beginning or the end of a way. There is only sad people and an amazed silence.

I go towards the table in search of hope.

I find a civil servant with little desire to work. He says to me: 

"Sorry, the schedule was only until 10.30 AM."

The Subway

A pregnant woman enters in the subway. Everyone keeps their head down and pretends to be sleeping. Finally I decide to get up and offer my seat - then everyone wakes up. 
"I'm not pregnant!" she says.

It's decided. From now on, I'll always pretend to be asleep.

The Book

Robert Stenson was a young Southern Californian, computer science student, book lover and sportsman. He was also a bit weird: his whole life revolved around a book. 

The book was known to have a curse.

It was known that Robert had spent years looking for it.

It was known that Robert found the book.

It was known that after that nothhing else was heard of Robert.

Living without you

I hate you. I’ve lost my family, my friends…all, for you.You only have been in my life when you’ve wanted and now…you’re gone. I miss you. I thought I could live without you, but I realize that’s impossible.

I can’t any more. I know that you’ve hurted me but I need you. I don’t know that I must do. Sometimes it seems very easy, other times… it’s very difficult. I'm ashamed of myself because you have never loved me and, however, I’ve always been crazy about you.

These words have been my thoughts until now.No more -  I’m a new person, I can breath, I can smile, I can walk, I’m independent. Now…I can be happy.

At least I can move forward without looking back. I have hope. I have changed.

I can live calm ‘cause I’ve defeated alcohol.
