Twilight's Flash Fiction / Relatos cortos crepusculares

Benfold Huntington entered the animal facility and hurried to the glass urn at one end of the huge room. He was pleased to see that Benfold was looking at him calmly. It was a toad of enormous dimensions. When Huntington opened the urn, the huge toad sticked out the tongue and caressed the Huntington's face. A yellow slime impregnated his skin and Huntington experienced a very pleasant sensation. He thanked that showing of love to Benfold and began telepathic communication as they used to do every night. Benfold told him that some strange beings, of small dimensions, had entered his property. They were harmless but had frightened the dog and then they were going to try to settle somewhere else inside his house. Benfond had a gift for seeing the future and knew what Tom's friends were going to do. Benfold Huntington entró en el animalario y se dirigió a toda prisa a la urna de cristal que ocupaba un extremo de la enorme sala. Con satisfacción pudo comprobar ...

Lilith and the Huntington Family After escaping from the box that those thieves had stolen, Tom's friends took refuge in a sort of wooden house, surprisingly appropriate to their size. The joy of being together in a safe place was short-lived. A Great Dane approached the little house dangerously, his little house. Lilith, in an attack of hysteria decided to face the enormous dog and came out of the darkness showing herself openly and shouting strange phrases that made the great dog flee. The dog's owner, Mr. Huntington, saw through the window that something was wrong with the dog, and rushed out, thinking that the dog had reacted to something or someone. He went directly to the animal facility, where he had managed to collect hundreds of batrachians, his greatest treasure. He wanted to protect them at all costs, because he had managed to communicate with them and they had revealed incredible secrets. As he walked through the garden, he thought he was seeing something m...

Night It is the witch's night And I feel you so close That we are burning Noche La noche bruja Y te siento tan cerca Que nos quemamos

Dawn and Twilight Because of you, from the dawn of every day my feelings are dyed with white tears, sweet, sonorous, full of sea. Each infinite twilight, comes to reveal that the shadows, equidistant from harmony and chaos, are the refuge of the sorrows that devour my soul to reach the dawn of the next day, when I find peace, your lap. Alba y crepúsculo Por ti, del alba de cada día se tiñen de lágrimas blancas mis sentimientos, dulces, sonoros, llenos de mar. Cada crepúsculo, infinito, viene a desvelar que las sombras, equidistantes de la armonía y del caos, son el refugio de las penas que devoran mi alma por llegar al alba del siguiente día, en el que encuentro la paz, tu regazo.

WF-98765 and Light I'm going to try to explain what happened to me a few days ago while walking in the park. I was wrapped up in my thoughts about relativity, and a basic experiment came to mind. Let's imagine two extraterrestrial observers traveling in their interstellar spaceships and moving relative to each other. The ships have dimensions of three hundred thousand kilometers and in their ends they have installed some electrical devices. These devices, located at the ends of the spaceships, are designed in such a way that when they touch the respective devices of the other ship, they emit wave fronts in all directions. One of the spectacles that light offers us is the contemplation of inertial systems. But light and matter are beings of a different nature. If it were not for light, we could only discover an inertial system when we hit it. But light, by illuminating objects, allows us to see them and to know their position. And that is the problem. Let's see it: ...

Tom and Lilith Ever since they started their adventure, there was a girl in the group who made Tom nervous. When he talked to her, he couldn't find the words to express himself, his pulse accelerated, and he couldn't think. He looked like a fool in front of her. Although they were always living in darkness, when he had the chance to see her, everything was transformed around him. Her big eyes to see in the dark, a tiny mouth, a perfect nose. The moments when he could see her were moments of sugar. But now, at an unimaginable distance from her, something told him that she was in danger, that he had to save her from some imminent danger. Tom y Lilith Desde que iniciaron su aventura, había una chica en el grupo que ponía nervioso a Tom. Cuando hablaba con ella, no encontraba las palabras para expresarse, el pulso se aceleraba, y no podía pensar. Quedaba como un tonto delante de ella. Aunque siempre vivían en la oscuridad, cuando tenía la ocasión de verla, todo se ...

Smile I was going down the subway stairs and someone disguised as a Joker offered me a card. I hesitated for a moment, but his wide smile convinced me and I took it. I began to read it and was struck by the first sentence: "I'm sorry I have to do this". I couldn't read anymore. A painful sting made me bring my hand to my abdomen, as I felt a thick, hot liquid slide between my fingers. I woke up in the operating room and something on the surgeon's face looked familiar. I had seen that smile before and it made me experience a strange sensation. It was him. I waited for him in the parking lot where he left his car and killed him. Days later, the postman brought me a certificate home and his smile had something... I had no choice but to murder him, because I was sure it had been him. Then the same thing happened to me with a bus driver. So I've been chasing the Joker for several months and I don't know when I'm going to find the real culpr...

The Alchemist The alchemist, in a moment of rest, was walking quietly through the garden. Seeing the beauty of those flowers he thought that his work of turning metals into gold was a trifle. He would never know how nature manages to create so many wonders, and how it has created us so that we can contemplate them. He was working in a multinational company that was in charge of many things. Heiress to the old Google, she had extended her activity to the manufacture of electro cybernetic components that used gold profusely. The robot industry, present everywhere, was being one of the main activities of the company. Suddenly he realized that one of the robots was watching him. A cold sweat ran over his body. He knew that the reports sent by the robots could lead to his being fired, and being fired meant dying of hunger and loneliness. The robots had long since taken control of almost everything. Worried, he returned to the workplace wondering what would happen. He was not al...
