Microrelat

Ellen gasped in surprise when she realised how dark the basement was where she was still raving after 10 hours. She had never been to Berlin and obviusly it was her first time that she had travelled alone. The music in that moment was utterly deafening, the bass was like a big hammer smashing the dancefloor, people were in trance dancing like as if it was their last time. Suddenly Ellen fell knocked out by a very painful blow. After 6 hours she woke up and the first thing she saw was a doctor and told her that she was found near an abandoned warehouse and that someone had stolen her wallet, jewerelly and her personal ID. Ellen was confused because she didn’t remember anything. She was terribly sad. Soon after that, she realised that the next time she went travelling alone she musn’t go to illegal parties because it can be dangerous if she is foreign and is alone. It was a mix of risky and exiting experience that night in Berlin.

El tirillas

La puerta de aquella oficina estaba igual que hace unos meses. Poco más me llevé de aquel trabajo que la ubicación para aparcar en un sitio estratégico de la ciudad. Al cerrar el coche, me crucé con aquel tirillas andando por la acera contraria. Agaché la cabeza y pensé que no me había visto. Ahorré, así, una conversación de actualización humana que me hubiera hecho llegar tarde a mi destino.

A las dos semanas supe que había olido mi gesto aquel día y me llamaba para ponerme la patita encima. Tendrías que haber sido de esas aves que lanza el hueso desde arriba y no el tipo de ave que decidiste ser

Hoy espero en Gran Vía 2 al Dani para subir a Montjuïc.

Waiting for love

It was around 21:00 when Jack walked into Moe’s bar, to pop in his best friend, the owner of the place. What he didn’t expected was to bump into the most gorgeous girl he had ever seen in his life. She was over a little stage, doing a performance. Around her, they were few spectators amazed by her voice. Jack, astonished, took a place in front of the stage and stayed listening her during all night.

When the clock stroked midnight, the show finished, and Jack returned to the real world. Unfortunately, before he could say anything, the girl left the bar, just like as Cinderella did in her story. The boy searched her during days, but nobody knew about where to find her. Jack, desolate, knew that he had lost the love of his live.

A few months later, while Jack was taking a walk along the beach, distracted by his thoughts, he heard a very particular voice, which sounded really familiar to him. That amazing sound which had been in his dreams during all that time. And, finally, he saw her. Jack was blessed, but he couldn’t lose her again. After the girl’s concert was finished, he went there and talked to her. Surprisingly, the girl of his dreams resulted to be called Dave.

La núvia

El dia del casament dels meus pares, l’any 1948, va costar fer entrar la mare dins del cotxe nupcial. Per la manca d’agilitat, les presses, un vestit emmidonat i una cua de tul de tres metres, que es diu aviat. Un cop aclofada, la mare va sospirar: “Ai, ai, ai que no arribarem!” L’avi, que l’havia d’acompanyar a l’altar, no va fer cap comentari; la situació el depassava. Va ser el xofer qui li va dir: “No pateixi senyoreta Rosa, que tot anirà bé” i va engegar el motor. A l’església, el meu pare -el nuvi- es neguitejava. Capficat amb la possibilitat que la Rosa el deixés plantat, no parava de mirar el rellotge. Els convidats s’impacientaven. La Rosa feia una hora tard quan una trucada telefònica va fer entrar el mossèn a la sagristia. En sortir-ne, indignat, es va mirar el pare amb menyspreu i va dir: “Setmesó!”. I va esclatar l’escàndol.

WHO CAN I TRUST?

On a rainy day in August, one of the coldest days ever, the streets were deserted and dark. The only person there, was walking around an abandoned building. I was at my house alone, because my boyfriend, Tim, wasn’t there. I was looking through a window to the scene, when, suddenly, he took a knife out of his pocket.

The next morning, I turned on the TV and heard “a blonde girl was murdered last night”. I instantly thought  about the man I saw, but I realised I couldn’t see his face. I really wanted to help the policemen find the murderer, but I wasn’t able to. Even though, I told them.

One week later, the policemen came to my house. They arrested my boyfriend for killing the girl. I was shocked. Maybe, I didn’t know him that much…

For Sant Jordi

Since I was little, I’ve always loved dancing. One day, when I was 5 years old, my mum enrolled me in a dance academy. I wasn’t very good at it but I loved it. Two years later, I broke my left leg in a car accident, so I had to leave the academy to recover. The doctor said to me that I couldn’t dance again. Fortunately, when I was 10, I entered the academy again, because I had recovered very well. I remember that first of all, I found it difficult to dance again. At the age of 12, I entered a competition with my dance class. We had to practice every day, but finally we won!
Now I’m 20 years old, and last Saturday I had the world dancing competition. It was very hard to prepare for, but with the help of our coach, we won! Now I can say that I’m one of the best dancer of the world!

Thoughts of a bird

Looking down at the ground was terrifying. It was too far. The slightest breeze made me shake, and it wobbled the thin wire that was holding me, marking the difference between a life of security and the most uncertain future: the fall. What would await me if I jumped into the unknown? There, in the height of my position, I was safe, but I didn’t feel I was living. All I could see was the darkness below me, but it was appealing. Just as the trees look for the sky and the depths of the earth, I wanted to know more of the world. I could even listen to it, taste it in my beak, feel it between my feathers. It was just one little, tiny, leap. And I would be there. I swayed a little, maybe for the last time. Who knows if I would miss my wire and my wind.  But I had made up my mind. I left myself fall to the great and endless adventure. And I flew far away.

Instagram, a dangerous app

In the year 3000 the world was changing; the parents didn’t look after their children, a lot of people died doing a selfie, people didn’t work… And nobody was aware of this but a eleven-years-old girl, called Sophie. The cause of all these problems was Instagram. Everybody wanted to take lots of nice photos to have “likes” in different dangerous places: in the middle of the street when all the cars were passing, on the top of a building, etc. They also were all the day looking at the images that friends and family posted. One day Sophie decided that she needed to stop this; she went to the building which controlled Instagram and disconnected the app for everyone. That was an easy job, because all the security staff were looking at their phone! All the world was without Instagram and it was a disaster. So Sophie connected the app again, but when everyone logged in, they saw a video of her explaining why she did this. Everyone was surprised and Sophie was all over the news. Nobody used Instagram anymore.
