L’ENVOÛTANTE MÉLODIE QUI A CHANGÉ SA VIE

Le soleil brille sur les rues de la ville, illuminant les sourires des passants. Parmi eux, un homme avance lentement, les mains dans les poches, perdu dans ses pensées. Soudain, il entend une mélodie envoûtante qui le tire de sa torpeur. Il suit le son jusqu’à un petit café, où une chanteuse ensorcelle le public avec sa voix envoûtante. L’homme est hypnotisé, et il sait que c’est là qu’il doit être. Il commande un café et s’assoit, écoutant chaque note, chaque mot, jusqu’à ce que la chanson se termine. C’est alors qu’il se lève, s’approche de la chanteuse et lui dit : “Vous êtes l’ange que j’attendais”.

PAPILLON BLEU

THE FINAL

It was the final, I was so nervous, my team was also nervous. The ninety
minutes of the match were finished, and the result was 1-1. My team’s
goal was from a penalty and the other team’s goal was from a corner.
The most important moment of the night was the penalties. The captain
of the team (my best friend) shot first . Unfortunately he missed. The
other guy of the opposite team also missed. It was my turn, I was so
nervous. It was my moment to win the trophy for my team mates. Epicly
the alarm rang and it was time to go to school.

OLVIDO Y TRAICIÓN

Trabajaba de sol a sol con la sonrisa en la boca, nunca a sus hijos les faltó de nada, crecieron, estudiaron, uno se hizo abogado, el otro cirujano, se casaron, se fueron y aquella madre callada al verse sola, se fue muriendo de pena poco a poco, ni al entierro acudieron, simplemente la olvidaron.

Esta es la historia de una madre que como tantas y tantas se mueren de pena al quedarse solas.

EL POETA Y SU PERRITA

AHIR, SEMPRE

No podria alimentar-se sempre a base de nostàlgia. Ho sabia prou bé, però els records es presentaven com les menges més suculentes, les més deleroses, les més plaents.

Devorava els records com aquell que ha viscut una postguerra, amb l’ansietat que provoca el saber que la cartilla de racionament té ja tots els segells.

Intentava allunyar-se de la nostàlgia resant una i altra vegada el mantra que li receptaven: Ara i aquí. Només Ara i aquí.

Però el passat era més tenaç, més persistent, més eloqüent… i sempre tornava. Apareixia de sobte amb la millor gala i li deia, amb contundència:

– Demà serà un nou dia. Però l’ahir vindrà a buscar-te.

TROIA

NIÑITA, NO TE ME MUERAS

Era un día de diciembre, había nevado, hacía frío, iba como cada día paseando por la calle cuando la vi, pocos años que tendría, pidiendo por caridad, todos pasaban de largo solo unas pocas monedas en su mano brillaban, me acerqué y le deposité un billete, ella me miró con los ojos llenos de lágrimas, me dio las gracias y salió corriendo. Yo extrañado seguí a aquella niña, la vi entrar en una juguetería y comprarse una muñeca, al salir me vio y reconociéndome me dedicó una sonrisa, esas sonrisas que dan los niños pobres mezcla de esperanza y de dolor, la vi perderse en una esquina y pensé que se iría a su casa donde sus padres la esperarían.

A la mañana siguiente leí en el periódico que una niña había sido encontrada muerta abrazada a su muñeca Era ella, por fin encontró una amiga y se fue con ella.

EMOCIONS

Un manyoc d’emocions et recorren l’espinada, pràcticament barallant-se per provocar la primera reacció física. Els ulls se’t neguen de llàgrimes i la pell se t’eriça pràcticament a l’instant. Aguantes la respiració. Les parets comencen a giravoltar al teu voltant, però et continues aferrant a la teva realitat, tot i que no ho sigui. De real, vull dir. No et pots permetre parar en aquest moment, no mentre el temps segueixi passant dins de la història. Els ulls recorren amb avidesa les paraules tintades sobre el paper. La tensió creix, el cor batega amb força, les llàgrimes t’ennuvolen la vista i les mans… Intentes que no tremolin massa. Rellegeixes l’última frase, l’última línia, exhales. Agraïments. Passes la pàgina i et trobes amb només una última fulla en blanc. A poc a poc, amb cura, tanques el llibre i el deixes davant teu. Llavors, amb els ulls encara molls, la pell de gallina i l’ànima sacsejada, atanses la mà per tornar-lo a començar.

THE FEAR OF THINK

Humans are obstinate with our beliefs of what we know. We are by nature questioning beings. Sometimes when something that doesn’t correspond to us or to our thoughts happens, being perfectionists, we overthink about that and even become obsess with fix those even though deep down we are denying it, until we get tired and stop trying that when really, is just a wrong idea. Sometimes we are slaves of our thoughts and ideas of what we have to. But the main thing is that the root of these, are the nature of our good inclination and we also aren’t obligated to follow them. Only one by himself has the decision of the actions through his life. Don’t be perfectionist and don’t analyze too much, just believe in yourself, you can do it!

As she arranged her books and roses, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. Suddenly, a handsome stranger approached her booth and struck up a conversation. They bonded over their shared love of literature and before long, Maria found herself falling for him. As the day drew to a close and the crowds began to disperse, the stranger presented Maria with a red rose and asked for her phone number. It was a St. George’s Day she would never forget, as it marked the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in her life.

PERICO DE LOS PALOTES

A DAY IN THE FOREST

It was a day in a very dark forest, gloomy but the truth was that it was very modern and new.

We were three friends in that dark forest, the three of us wondered what we are doing here, as soon as we wondered that, a very tall, old witch appeared to us and with many warts and wrinkles. We asked her what are you doing here and she said this is my forest I have all the years of my life waiting for someone to, then he took the three of us and took them to his house, he said that he wanted to eat us all because he hadn’t eaten for a long time, between the three of us we took the witch and burned her.

We finally found our way and went home.
