Twilight's Flash Fiction / Relatos cortos crepusculares

Ruhn The wolves anticipate events. And so they gathered at the top of the blue hill to welcome Tom. The atoms of the universe in charge of transmitting the future are embedded as in a puzzle between the atoms of the brains of the wolves, opening the door to clairvoyance. This circumstance only occurs in the space near that moon of Cron, called Letha, and Tom, when it materialized in Letha acquired that quality. Rhun, the leader of the herd, was waiting impatiently for Tom. Ruhn Los lobos se adelantan a los acontecimientos. Y así, se reunieron en la cima de la colina azul para recibir a Tom. Los átomos del universo encargados de transmitir el futuro se incrustan como en un rompecabezas entre los átomos de los cerebros de los lobos, abriendo la puerta a la videncia. Esa circunstancia solo ocurre en el espacio próximo a esa luna de Cron, llamada Letha, y Tom, cuando se materializó en Letha adquirió esa cualidad. Rhun, el líder de la manada, esperaba con impaciencia a Tom. ...

Cron's Moon In the same planetary system to which the dark planet belonged, there was a huge hybrid planet, Cron, a mixture between planet and star. The great mass of earth and fire had adopted an irregular form, and the incandescent part of cold combustion, of trillions of tons, rose majestically, thousands of kilometers, and like an enormous obelisk, illuminated from eons the black sky, and thanks to the curvature of the rays of light, the opposite part received the heat and radiation necessary to lodge living beings that beat at the same rhythm as their planet did. From one of Cron's moons, wolves with black fur and blue eyes waited for Tom's arrival. La luna de Cron En el mismo sistema planetario al que pertenecía el planeta oscuro, giraba un descomunal planeta híbrido, Cron, una mezcla entre planeta y estrella. La gran masa de tierra y fuego había adoptado una forma irregular, y la parte incandescente de combustión fría, de trillones de toneladas, se e...

Robbery Katy remembered when, when she was very young, her uncle told her about tiny human beings. She had always thought it was her uncle's invention to stimulate her imagination. Now she had encountered the reality of their existence and could not ignore them. Not knowing how, she was responsible for their lives. That was what she was thinking as she made her way to the post office to take home the tiny beings. She was near the bank when, suddenly, she heard the sirens of several police cars approaching. The cars stopped in front of the bank. She approached one of the policemen and asked him what was going on. The policeman explained that the post office had been robbed and all the boxes had been looted. She was stunned. She thought of the little ones and wondered in whose hands they would be now. Atraco Katy recordó cuando, siendo muy pequeña, su tío le habló de unos seres humanos diminutos. Siempre había pensado que era una invención   de su tío para estimu...

Handkerchiefs Those handkerchiefs had been left in a trunk for a long time. Someone opened the trunk one day and found them there, immaculate. When they were picked up, a small piece of paper the size of a business card fell to the floor and could be read on it: P.O. Box 212. Code: poppy. When they opened the locker they found a very worn notebook and a small metal box. The first impulse was to open the box, and the surprise was to find some tiny beings in human form who euphorically greeted their saviors. The notebook was a diary, and its author had described in great detail when and how he discovered these beings, who fed on darkness, and his relationship with them for years. Pañuelos Aquellos pañuelos habían estado abandonados en un baúl durante mucho tiempo. Alguien abrió un día el baúl y los encontró allí, inmaculados. Al cogerlos, un papelito del tamaño de una tarjeta de visita cayó al suelo y en él se podía leer: ‘Apartado de correos número 212. Clave:...

Handkerchiefs 12 And that's where Tom discovered unstable space. Regions of space that suddenly was disappearing, taking everything in them. Also, and suddenly, regions of space were created and brought new forms of universes, new fauna, new cities with new and different inhabitants, and new physical phenomena such as transition, whereby an inhabitant of one region of space could instantly travel to another, making use of unstable space. The new physical laws also made it possible to travel within beings and discover living micro universes. Pañuelos 12 Y allí descubrió Tom el espacio inestable. Regiones del espacio súbitamente desaparecían llevándose todo lo que había en ellas. También, y de modo repentino, se creaban regiones del espacio y traían nuevas formas de universos, nueva fauna, nuevas ciudades con nuevos y distintos habitantes, y nuevos fenómenos físicos como la transición, por la cual, un habitante de una región del espacio podía viajar instantáneamente a otra, ...

Jasmines Kind night, smell of jasmine. Naked them my skin and soul, the sea breeze and solitude accompany me. Silvering flashes that waves dress them in blue, and the water dangerously approaching my feet. Slowly it climbs up my legs, torso... and reaches my neck. Sirius sends me a signal from the other side of the day, and my eyes become supplicant to the shore. Sirius knows I must. And the same force that cared for me as a child whispers new universes to me, new footprints in other waters.    Jazmines La noche amable, olor a jazmines. Desnudas la piel y el alma, la brisa marina y la soledad me acompañan. Destellos plateados que las olas visten de azul, y el agua acercándose peligrosamente a mis pies. Lentamente trepa por mis piernas, torso… y llega al cuello. Sirio me envía una señal desde el otro lado del día, y mis ojos se vuelven suplicantes a la orilla. Sirio sabe que debo hacerlo. Y la misma fuerza que me cuidaba cuando era niño, me susurra universos ...

Confessions I'd like to tell you that I don't feel bad about anything anymore. I would like you to know that those thoughts that martyred me have ceased. Even, from time to time, I play to be the one I was before, for pure entertainment, because I find myself uncomfortable in the body of this new being. Accustomed to the inertia of things, the new is a challenge, a danger. So, as you can imagine, I'm on a tightrope every time I don't feel bad about anything. Confesiones Me gustaría decirte que ya no me siento mal por nada. Me gustaría que supieras que aquellos pensamientos que me martirizaban, han cesado. Incluso, de vez en cuando, juego a ser el de antes, por puro entretenimiento, porque me encuentro algo incómodo en el cuerpo de este nuevo ser. Acostumbrado a la inercia de las cosas, lo nuevo es un reto, un peligro. Así que, como puedes imaginar, estoy en la cuerda floja cada vez que no me siento mal por nada.

Eternity Hi. I am caming to tell you that today is the first day of my last month of life. I have been diagnosed with a terminal illness here in Paradise, and I have to return to the world of the living within a few days. Today they have communicated it to me with certain mistrust, and for being my first day I wanted to tell you that I am going to miss you, I am going to miss you very much. I still haven't prepared my trip. I just need a few things: intuition, patience, compassion and a good dose of love for the living. If only we could keep in touch. If I could have you close, there, on Earth, how different it would be! I will try to return as soon as possible, and see to it that no mortal disease ever separates me from you again. I will remember every minute with you. And when I come back, it will be so that we will never be separated. Eternidad Hola. Vengo a decirte que hoy es el primer día de mi último mes de vida. Me han diagnosticado una enfermedad terminal...

The wall We set out together, never imagining it would be the last time. It was a summer afternoon. The familiar streets seemed different, and the steep slopes leading to our castle conspired to make the journey gentler, almost perfect. At the top, a kiss awaited us. Then, the pale ghosts that haunted our past appeared. Weeping, they began to build a wall between us. The castle, helpless, did not know what to do. Its ancient walls, astonished, tried to persuade the new wall not to be born. But it was in vain. We climbed together. We came down apart. The wall, stronger than the walls of the castle, had fulfilled its mission. El muro Salimos juntos, sin imaginar que sería la última vez. Era una tarde de verano. Las calles de siempre parecían distintas, y las empinadas cuestas que conducían a nuestro castillo se conjuraron para hacer el camino más amable, casi perfecto. Al llegar arriba, nos esperaba un beso. Después, los pálidos fantasma...

Handkerchiefs 11 It was impossible not to see that slender tower, the place where spirits were welcomed. Its extraordinary structure cast an immense shadow over the walls of the swangdoms, constructions which varied in shape and colour in the wake of the thoughts of the spirits who inhabited them. Thus, a multicolored space created by an endless number of swangdoms extended to the horizon, dotted with infinite colors changing the amber carpet that was the floor. The shadows that the pink light lent to objects and beings, were blurred until they disappeared when it came to spirits, so that his friend was not accompanied by any shadow. Tom entered with some apprehension when his friend invited him to go inside his swangdom, but as his eyes became accustomed to the warm luminosity of its interior, the peace that transmitted that living place reached the deepest of his soul. Pañuelos 11 Era imposible no ver aquella esbelta torre, el lugar en el que se daba la bienvenida ...
