CORRUPTED PRINCIPLES
The road was slippy with rain. From his
window he had a good view of the down hill road. He saw the rearless child on a
bycicle approaching at higher speed than needed for such a steep downhill. His
mouth watering in anticipation... his camera was ready!!
THE IMPORTANCE OF WEARING GLASSES
Overcrowded underground
-Keep away from me, please!
-What's the matter?
-You are a giant coronavirus, bad times for
you!
-No, I'm not. I'm Li Kequiang... Your glasses
are under your chin.
Sorry, I'll put them on... Nice to meet you,
Mr Li Kequiang
- Likewise, Mr Trump.
CHANGES IN VISION
Schoolgrounds, cold and dangerous.
Pestie has arrived.
He looked specially green and yellowish. HE
TOUCHED ME!!! I was scared, so I insulted him. Everybody laughed. He took my
dad's tie from me - I could breath- Then, he gave me his glasses, I could finally
see!
I WAS THE SICK ONE!
WILL YOU?
That day I felt really anxious because I was
waiting for it and started thinking it was never going to happen.
My boyfriend got extrimely nervous. Suddenly,
he reached out his hand holding a small box.
I opened it and was astonished by what I
saw.!
VAT is not included!!!
BONDS OF INNOCENCE
Different cultures, separate ethnic groups.
However, best friends at school.
No sooner did they grow than prejudices were
meekly assumed. Years of distrust and misconceptions followed.
Then S has a pram.
Now, jump off the barriers.
Go, M, go!
An accomplice smile over the innocence
stirred their lost friendship.
SPANISH PICARESQUE
During the Barcelona Olympics, next to the
"Sagrada Familia", an Italian car had been fined for improper
parking.
The Italian never understood why he had two
identical fines at home when back from vacation.
A Spanish driver also parked imprperly and
simply put the first Italian fine on his windshield.
SILENCE
He woke up surrounded by darkness.
Silence.
He had some battery left on the phone but no
signal at all.
Midnight.
His chest was burning, his clothes were
stained.
Blood.
He felt anxious and trapped.
"Let me out!"
A scream was heard from six feet under the
ground.
Then, silence.
HOW "YOU CAN NEVER TELL A BOOK BY ITS
COVER" HAS STILL THINGS TO SAY
The phone was almost running out of battery
yet I wasn't able to find out what I was seeking. Amongst the photo philters
something was missing, they didn't reflect what my heart was singing.
For though I close my eyes, all I see is la
vie en rose.
GAME OF CROWNS
Everyone in the Seven Kingdoms witnessed the
death of every single one of the candidates to sit on the Iron Throne.
But in the end, Queen Daenerys Targaryen was
able to reach her goal, only to end up dead.
It was a pity that Coronavirus also got to
her.
THE DENTIST
I needed to see a dentist. I saw her name and
I remembered her. We were schoolmates.
With this physical appearence, she could not
be the same appealing girl I remembered. When she finished, I told her she was
in my classroom.
She asked me: What did you teach me?
PRIORITATION
The virus has been finally cornered. It has
been an intense fight and even though it was not a landslide win, after 2
billion deaths this fatal disease has been completely eradicated.
The victims are mainly concentrated in Afruca
and South America where the population was more vulnerable.
RIP Famine
WE ARE ALL NOISE ANIMALS. OR ARE WE?
First, the screeching tyres, then the
breathtaking scream and finally the thump.
We heard the bones cracking and the body
hitting the asphalt. And then again the engine roaring, the raging multitude
dragging the driver through the window, the lynching...
And the end: the rope creaoking over the dog's corpse.
Voting will be enabled until March 22nd and the
