Twilight's Flash Fiction / Relatos cortos crepusculares

 Iguanodon One rainy day, an iguanodon stumbled across a Higgs boson. He was surprised by that coincidence, especially considering that their universes were very different and that time passed differently for them as well. As both had the gift of communication, the iguanodon paid its respects to the boson by bowing its head, to which the boson responded by taking off his hat. Everyone knows that on rainy days the bosons are prone to getting cold. Our iguanodon, who inhabited the Earth a million years after humans had disappeared, had studied their behavior and knew that they hadn't behaved well with the bosons. In the particle accelerators, they had been isolated so they couldn't communicate. In fact, the disappearance of the human race was a consequence of the revenge of the bosons. For all this, the iguanodon felt a certain sympathy for the bosons and expressed it to the Higgs boson. The boson thanked him for his gift and invited him to visit his world. At that moment, the do...

 Caged in My Feelings It was at birth when it happened. My mother gave birth to me at sea. When I slipped through her vagina, the image of being among aquamarines and a strong taste of the sea penetrated my consciousness forever. That sensation of the sea, of salty air, has not left me, until today. My father grabbed my feet and turned me face down. My brain protested, and at that moment my conscious self shared the Oedipus complex with my subconscious until my father died. I had to fight many wars afterwards in a hostile and ruthless world. Years after my father's death, my loving mother succumbed to a long and painful illness, and she left me alone. The aquamarines and the taste of the sea came to comfort me, as always happened when events conspired to destroy my little energy to survive. At the bottom of the sea, in the turquoise waters where I was born, I found the peace that denied me existence. Until today. In moments of despair, I learned to sneak into the past to talk t...

Tenderness She was happy, until her daughter was born. She loved her more than life itself, and she doted on her and cared for her until she was a little woman. However, she did not allow anyone to see her in all those years. From now on she will no longer be able to protect her. Sweet and sensual lips reveal her immaculate and perfect teeth. Her skin, made of silk, inspires in her mother an eternal tenderness. A pleasant face if it weren't for that incomprehensible anomaly. Nature made a mistake and she came to decide that her eyes, of infinite blue, were born on her forehead. Two thick skin cloths covered the empty eye sockets and a recurring question invaded her soul.  Why? Ternura Era feliz, hasta que nació su hija. La quería más que a su propia vida y la mimó y cuidó hasta que se convirtió en una mujercita. Sin embargo, no permitió que nadie la viera en todos aquellos años. A partir de ahora ya no podrá protegerla. Unos labios dulces y sensuales dejan ver sus dientes inmaculad...

Time and Eternity I wandered through Eternity, and without realizing it, I came to the place where Time lives. When I entered, Time asked me about her friend Eternity. Eternity has always been separate from Time, but Time adores it. He spares no effort to get her attention, but Eternity, undaunted, ignores his claims, knowing they will never be together. El tiempo y la eternidad Deambulaba por la eternidad, y sin darme cuenta, llegué al lugar en el que vive el tiempo. Cuando entré, el tiempo me preguntó por su amiga la eternidad. La eternidad siempre ha estado separada del tiempo, pero el tiempo la adora. Éste no escatima esfuerzos para que ella le preste atención, pero la eternidad, impávida, ignora sus pretensiones, sabiendo que nunca estarán juntos.

Other Worlds World Government laws were very clear on this: any accident resulting in death would be sentenced to link the author to the family of the deceased, for whom he would work for the rest of his life. The driver got out of the car and was horrified to discover the limp body of someone, most of whom remained under the car, a tenth-generation Tesla. The torn suit was revealing part of the arm that protruded from under the side of the left front wheel. A small puddle of a green liquid spread slowly soaking up the tire and advancing towards the sidewalk. He had run over an alien. He still did not know that the alien was a diplomat from the 2A System, in charge of negotiations between the World Government and the representatives of his System to establish an economic collaboration agreement. Panic seized him. He walked a few steps and lost consciousness, falling into the puddle of green liquid. He woke up in the hospital. A Government Delegation was waiting to explain his situatio...

Alexius, annoyed, asked him for time to inform his people of the new world order.
