Free Soul

He ran and ran and ran... Suddenly he stopped and screamed, and from his mouth escaped lots of voices that had been locked inside him. After that he climbed to the highest peak. He spread his arms out in a cross and jumped off. Then, he flew… He was free.

During her first days everything was splendid: she was getting on in the job, her gentle workmates gave her a warm welcome, in short, a job environment desirable for everyone. However, not only had her smile disappeared but her eyes had also lost its glitter. What was crossing her mind?

I was wearing a white mask that hides my “real face”. Suddenly my body started expressing itself in a way I have never felt before. The movements just came from my soul showing all the suffering and joy it keeps. I realized that “false faces” could illustrate   truth through barriers.

He woke up and found himself soaked in sweat. His only wish was to find out what had been in his mind for the whole night and which he could not remember now.

It was wonderful, gorgeous, he thought. Perhaps one of those feelings that just live in our dreams.

The Note

I know it by heart. I don't need to read it again but I do. Her trembling writing, her desperation:
"I'm Jane, your neighbour. He'll return tonight. Call the police. Take care of my children, please"

Read too late. The children sleep. I wonder if they dream.

An Anecdote

Sergio started university and met Pilar. After talking for several minutes, Pilar asked him, “do you have a sister called Maria?” Sergio, surprised, answered, “Yes! How come you know?” Pilar said, “I met your sister last year and your gestures, your way of laughing and speaking remind me of her”.

Farewell

You open your eyes slowly, just to find loneliness. Trying to remember, you discover memories are gone. You dive into darkness looking for hope already lost. A desperate cry echoes while you are swallowed by darkness. No hope, no god, nothing. Only death and oblivion, nothing will change without you.
