Separation of Author and Narrator

It is interesting what literature does to the mind, what a good story does. Something well-written or something that captivates the imagination becomes, if only for a moment, becomes reality. The voice of the narrator echoes in the mental ear and suddenly images stream through a space that does not exist in the physical but […]

I Get Bored

I’ll be honest, I get bored. I get bored of doing the same thing over and over again. I get bored of reading the same type of stories, of watching the same things on t.v., of talking about the same thing over and over again. So, what do I do? I try to change things […]

Je n’ai pas un ange

Je n’ai pas un ange avec moi ce soir. C’est la tragédie de mon cœur. C’est quelque chose mélodramatique que je veux oublier. Je veux me résigner à la nuit et sentir les bras de mon sommeil. Esta noche no tengo un ángel. Esta es la tragedia de mi corazón. Es algo lacrimoso que quiero […]

Filter

I was walking home alone, my back heavy with burdens, when I felt the warmth of a sunray. The sun filtered through barren trees, meandered with the movements of the cold wind, until its faint and distant warmth landed on my left cheek. Then I knew, everything would be alright.

I Can Go Home Now

I can go home now. The grating voice of my boss still resounds in my ear canals. I can’t stand that woman. Her lips move with the quiet viciousness she harbors for me. She speaks to me like a dog with rabies. Her teeth show as she words her commands or utters snide comments. It […]

Wise Words

I Held Her

I held her. I took both of her breasts into my hands and I massaged them gently. I waited for her moan, but it did not come. So, I traced my fingers gently around her areolae. There was a sigh. A sigh left her lips but it was not a moan. She had her eyes closed […]

Purple Lipstick

I decided to put purple lipstick on. Adrian didn’t like it before. I used to wear it more often than my pink and red colors, before it was a stupid trend. When it did become a trend, Adrian suddenly liked it. I foolishly did not wear the lipstick when he told me not to, over […]

Beneath the Storm

It all started when she looked over her shoulder. She saw him walking slowly, idly as if tracing her footsteps. He must have been watching her walk, her hips move and her hair sway, because when she turned to look back, he quickly looked away. He made a very small gesture with his lips, almost puckering them as […]

The Note

We came home, my brother, my mother and I, happy and celebrating. I walked up the stairs first, the stairs of our apartment, and I rushed to pick up the pink balloons and throw them at my brother. He laughed as the balloons fell on him. He was surprised, or at least he pretended to […]

Heart Palpitations

There is nothing more beautiful than feeling the rush of excitement when seeing that person you love, or you think you love, or you want to be loved by. Whatever it is. There is something magical about that moment when the eyes connect and nothing is in between, when nothing else matters. I have only […]
