Sindicat Gnòmic

Com que gnoms de jardí?! —xiuxiuejes, indignadíssim. —Com els agrada reduir-nos a simples gnoms de jardí. Com si no existissin els gnoms espacials! I els de piscina! I els de ciutat! Ja n’hi ha prou de tanta desconeixença! —pares un moment a redreçar-te el barret. —I a sobre, el vermell em queda fatal! El proper cop que m’assignin a un jardí, truco el sindicat. A mi, un llibreter! Quina indecència!

Esbufegues, mantenint-te a l’ombra. Ja s’ha vist el que els hi fa el sol a aquests barrets vermells horribles. Que, a sobre de ser lletjos, es destenyeixen! Simplement indignant. Renegues en gnòmic una mica més, eixugant-te la suor. “Hauran de preocupar-se per aquestes coses els humans?”, penses. Qui sap!

Repressió a la Llibertat de Premsa

Recentment, les autoritats russes han aprovat una llei que prohibeix tota publicitat en publicacions catalogades com a “agents estrangers”, afectant polítics, activistes i mitjans anti-Kremlin. A causa d’això, molts periodistes es veuran impedits de generar els ingressos necessaris per mantenir els seus canals oberts, i es veuran obligats a tancar-los. Alguns d’aquests periodistes sempre han ofert una visió imparcial dels fets, i ara la seva absència em deixa amb una gran sensació de tristesa, frustació i desesperació per què son les meves úniques fonts de notícies.
És important reconèixer i valorar l’accés als mitjans de comunicació que ens ofereixen una imatge realista del món. En aquests moments, més que mai, necessitem tenir accés a informació verídica per poder prendre decisions informades sobre el nostre futur.

Les espurnes

Els amics estan asseguts al voltant del foc. És el mateix lloc on es van conèixer ja fa 15 anys en un campament. Entre diàlegs, somriures i riallades, comparteixen un munt de records del passat, mentre admiren el foc, on troben un refugi per a l’ànima. Quan s’entrecreuen les seves mirades, els ulls brillen com les espurnes del foc i, alhora, cadascú reflexiona sobre la importància de les connexions humanes i la companyonia. En el silenci reconfortant de la nit, cadascú s’emporta una espurna d’aquest moment, i recorda que la veritable llum de la vida són les persones que et fan feliç i amb les quals pots compartir experiències com les que brillen al voltant del foc.

QUE NO ET TREMOLI EL POLS

Quants cops t’has aturat en aquest camí de roses i esbarzers?

En el silenci de l’avui que fa més mal que el d’ahir.

Quants cops has navegat amb la barca foradada i no t’has enfonsat perquè la teva voluntat era més gran que un simple raig d’aigua?

Dóna’t la mà i seu en el firmament que et fa més fort.

Les paraules esperen la teva parada.

WHY NOT WITH ME?

I tried, I really tried, but you can’t see it. You can’t see what I was doing, you didn’t see what was happening.

I tried, I really tried to talk, to solve the problem, to be okay, but you don’t see it, you can’t see the problem I want to talk about.

So I can’t, I really can’t do anything else. But I tried, and I keep going after you.

But you don’t see it, so 9 months later I stop and you don’t know how much it hurts. Because I saw you, doing the things you don’t do with me, doing it with others, but… Why not with me? 

EVERYBODY BUT ANYONE

THE BEST FRIENDS ARE IN LOVE

One day, Sunday was helping out in her parents store and, suddenly, an unexpected boy walked in. At that moment, she didn’t know how to act in front of him, but at least she knew his name, Jin, and also discovered that he is in the same school. The next day, remembered that she had to go on a trip with her family but she had an idea, her friend Rose should be a spy when she started classes, so she accepted the plan. Rose had a good idea to collect more information about Jin, to be her friend with Jack, the best friend of Jin. As they became close friends, they realized they liked each other. But, when Sunday came back, she was confused. She told her that this was the boy she fell in love with. When he went to the store where she was, his best friend lent him his school uniform, that’s the reason why the two girls had fallen in love without knowing that they were in love with the same boy.

I NEVER REMEMBER NOTHING

It was a rainy day. I was at home, bored, with nothing to do. At that moment, my dad told me to go to the supermarket. I said that it was raining. He didn’t care. I left the house. I went to the supermarket. In the street there were too many people on a rainy day. I entered the supermarket. I bought all the things that my dad told me to buy. I went home. When I arrived, I saw a group of people at the entrance of my house. At that moment I realized: all those people were my friends and my family and that rainy day was my birthday. I had completely forgotten!

He dodged the snake’s venom and struck it with his sword. After a long and exhausting battle, Juan finally beaten the snake.

The villagers were happy. They thanked Juan for his bravery and considered him a hero. From that day, Juan became a legend.

PIEDRA

La cacofonía del incesante repicar de los cientos de cinceles contra la piedra marcaba los minutos de ese día tan horriblemente húmedo, cada golpe seco retumbando en mi pecho, las vibraciones recorriéndome las venas de arriba a abajo. Un molesto sudor me goteaba por la frente, y aunque intentase secarlo con el dorso de la mano, éste volvía incluso más insistente que antes. El denso polvo se me metía en los pulmones a traición, sus ásperas manos cada vez más cerradas alrededor de mi cuello, ahogándome, casi como si quisiera transformarme en una gárgola viviente.

El grotesco rostro de piedra que iba tomando forma en la losa frente a mí me sonrió. Un grito se me ahogó en la garganta incluso antes de ser proferido. Intenté agarrarme a algo, pero la criatura infernal ya me había empujado. Todo pasó demasiado rápido. Estaba en caída libre.
