  The one who remains hidden I was coming back from buying a bouquet of flowers to give it to my wife, when she entered my mind, for an instant, the image of someone with very long white hair, a lost look and a peaceful face. Suddenly, I realized that it was someone immortal who remained uncontaminated and hidden, and that somehow I was the contaminated part of that being. He was remaining pure and made me fight with all the contaminations of each day and assume the inescapable combat of the moments of each day. So I am always aware of my tainted self, but never of my immortal self.   Aquel que permanece oculto Volvía de comprar un ramo de flores para regalárselo a mi mujer, cuando entró en mi mente, por un instante, la imagen de alguien con el pelo blanco, muy largo, mirada perdida y un rostro de paz.   De repente, me di cuenta de que se trataba de alguien inmortal que se mantenía incontaminado y oculto, y que de alguna manera yo era la parte contaminada de aquel...

  The Secret Passage 2 Someone ventured the hypothesis that he was a space traveler. A similar phenomenon had already occurred in remote times. A boy appeared out of nowhere at the constable's house. Space travelers are those who in an instant of time move through space even from one galaxies to another in a universe in which time is the same for all beings, and therefore their clocks all show the same time. However, the desperation of the prisoner was rule out that idea since space travelers do not experience any emotion.   El pasadizo secreto 2 Alguien aventuró la hipótesis de que fuera un viajero del espacio. Ya se había producido un fenómeno parecido en épocas remotas. Un niño apareció de la nada en la casa del condestable. Los viajeros del espacio son aquellos que en un instante de tiempo se desplazan en el espacio incluso de unas galaxias a otras en un universo en el que el tiempo es el mismo para todos los seres, y por tanto sus relojes marcan todos el mismo tie...

  The Secret Passage 1 Then the King decided that the prisoner with the highest sentence in the kingdom be brought before him. Strapped with several ropes around his waist and shoulders and equipped with a torch, he would be lowered into the void. This is how the King would know the mysteries of the cave by the explanations that the prisoner would give him when he was rescued. The prisoner was brought before the Monarch. The prisoner, frightened, expressed himself in an unknown language and did not understand what was happening. No one knew where he came from or what crime he had committed to deserve such a harsh sentence.

  The Secret Passage The King ordered to call the architect who was directing the works of the new palace that was being building on the slopes of the Blue Lake mountain. He wanted to know how and where the secret access would be projected from the royal apartments of the palace located on the mountain of the Green Hills, to the secret room that would be located at the eastern end of the future palace. No one should know of the existence of that passage. The architect explained to the King in great detail the underground layout that this important work would follow. Shortly after that day, the architect requested an urgent audience with the King. In the course of the excavation work, a strange and huge cave had been discovered that seemed to have no bottom. When the workers threw a stone to try to guess its depth, the stone did not return the sound that would be heard when hitting the floor or walls. There was simply no obstacle in ita fall. That unfortunate discovery did not allow...

 Otromn The vines had produced a good wine that year. He couldn't complain, although his chapped and generous hands hadn't been able to improve the sight of a plantation that, at the back of the greenhouse, was his favorite. On one of his trips to Venus, he had bought some seeds from Otromn. The vendor had assured him that if he paid them a visit every night and said a prayer of thanks in front of those plants, they would give him a surprise. Time had passed and only tiny, odorless roses had blossomed from the plants. The gardener, too busy with other chores, neglected the seller's advice. One cold morning, when he was going to the greenhouse, he experienced a strange sensation of danger and hurried to get there as soon as possible. He reached the greenhouse and entered. Several days later, alerted in the small town of his disappearance, and after an unsuccessful search, someone thought of inspecting the greenhouse. The image was gruesome. The small and harmless roses had g...
