Mãozinhas

Demorei algumas horas até perceber que as chamas afinal eram fogueiras, centenas provavelmente, no núcleo da cidade. Era uma vista tremuluzente e aliciante, não só viviam ali pessoas como também haveria comida. Pensei com humor inexistente em meses que não havia nada como uma boa caminhada para despertar a fome. Mas a cautela refreava-me a passada, algures naquela cidade deambulavam assassinos,…

The bad man

Hey people, today it’s a short short, being a adult occupies most of one’s time. So I thought giving you a glimpse of the bad guy. Hope you enjoy it. He hug up the binoculars away and left the walkie-talkie slowly and deliberately on the floor, with slightly shaking hands, those things were hard to replace. Why did they resist? He just wanted security and prosperity for the city, nothing more.…

O homem mau

Hoje não tive muito tempo, então decidi criar uma short short sobre o vilão. Espero que apreciem. Guardou os binóculos e poisou o walkie-talkie no chão, lenta e deliberadamente, de mãos tremendo ligeiramente, aquelas coisas eram difíceis de substituir. Porque resistiam? Ele só queria segurança e prosperidade para a cidade, nada mais. Não viam que o lado dele era muito melhor? Até produziam a…

Back home

He woke up. A wave similar to pure electricity flowed through his body, infiltrating muscle and bone, settling in the brain, where it caused a chaotic whirlwind of old and new memories. Then he woke up, a wave of pure electricity flowed through his body, infiltrating muscle and bone, settling in the brain, where it caused a chaotic whirlwind of old and new memories. Strange, he thought. WAKE UP!…

Retornado

Acordou. Uma vaga semelhante a pura electricidade corria pelo seu corpo, infiltrando-se em músculo e osso, instalando-se no cérebro onde provocava um caos de memorias novas e velhas. Depois acordou, uma vaga de pura electricidade corria pelo seu corpo, infiltrando-se em músculo e osso, instalando-se no cérebro, provocando um caos de memórias novas e velhas. Estranho, pensou. ACORDA! Sim, era…

November 8, 2234 Sarah was swimming vigorously down stairs, running away from me. And I begged and although being submerged I could hear my voice as clear as day. Until she stopped moving. She died but not without first telling me to leave one last time.And just like that I woke up, with my hands pulling viciously the dead grass and letting out a dry cry. I wandered for quite a while, without…

Estrada para a desgraça

8 de Novembro, 2234 Sarah nadava vigorosamente escadas a baixo, fugia de mim. E eu suplicava e embora estivesse submerso conseguia ouvir a minha voz clara como o dia. Até que deixou de se mover, não sem antes dizer para me ir embora.E foi a sim que acordei, pela sei lá quanta vez, de mãos repuxando erva morta e soltando um grito seco. Vagueava já há bastante tempo sem nunca sair propriamente do…

Back to square one

For someone of adventurous spirit who lives on a partially unexplored planet, one would expect that the will to escape the natural 1.7g would be scarce, but you would be wrong.It was then with desperation, capable of leveling a mountain that Joseph Conrad knew he had failed the admission tests. Fucking Mother Earth, even here you screw me! The sentinel’s approach woke him up from the rant and…

De volta ao início

Para alguém de espirito aventuroso que vive num planeta parcialmente inexplorado, seria de esperar que a vontade de escapar aos naturais 1.7g fosse parca, mas estariam enganados.Foi então com um desespero capaz de nivelar uma montanha que Joseph Conrad soube que falhara os testes de admissão. Porra da Terra Mae, até aqui me fodem! A aproximacao do sentinela despertou-o do desvaneio e…

An important announcement

It is impossible for me to create more short stories at the moment due to Codvid-19 because I have a strenuous schedule. As soon as it is reestablished, I will dedicate more attention to what I always wanted, creating more content for you. I also want you to know that English is not my native language, so feel free to make any grammatical correction, with manners of course. 🙂

See you around,

Wander through the past

Wander through the past

20 of August, 2234

Another day’s work was over and no one was home, which was a good thing, I needed a moment alone before going into another war. It is sad how others’ problems consume us, taking away the ability to resolve our own conflicts, and- “John! JOHN!” I left my wanderings, startled, it was Sarah, smelling horribly of cigarettes. I even miss that disgusting habit. Quickly she walked…

A minha segunda estória curta, daqui a pouco a versão em inglês. 20 de August, 2234 Mais um dia de trabalho chegava ao fim, ninguém estava em casa o que era bom, precisava de um momento a sós antes de entrar noutra guerra.
