ChatGPT’s answer to the question: Could I have your opinion about this flash fiction piece?: Title: Shadow During the night, I went to the cemetery to accompany the spirit of my recently deceased wife. Sitting at the edge of the grave, I talked to her and remembered the last moments we lived together. At first, I thought I saw something moving in the distance. Intrigued, I tried to identify it. A few moments passed and that began to take shape. It was a shadow. It was a shadow cast by the moonlight. Suspicious and maintaining distance, that black shape greeted me timidly with a wave of its hand. For an instant, terror seized me. Slowly, I tried to walk away toward the exit but to increase my despair, two other shadows blocked my way a few meters away. I plucked up my courage and ran to the massive iron gate that I had left ajar.

 We Are Made of Time Time is the only thing we have and don't have. When you understand that time is yours, you start to control it and not allow it to control you. When you savor every moment without the time disguised as obligations enslaving you, you are the king.   Estamos hechos de tiempo El tiempo es lo único que tenemos y no tenemos. Cuando comprendes que el tiempo es tuyo, empiezas a controlarlo y a no permitirle que te controle. Cuando cada instante lo saboreas sin que el tiempo disfrazado de obligaciones te esclavice, eres el rey.

The Constest He was very fond of contests. So he participated in one and won. The prize was a trip into the unknown. The destination did not matter to him, he had an enormous desire to travel. When he arrived on the day of his departure, he appeared at the address that those responsible for the contest had provided him. He waited in a gray room for a while, until a man dressed in black appeared. He told the contester to follow him. The contester took the suitcases and the man in black turned to say to him that he could leave them there, that behind his mask of a human in a black dress he was real death and that for this trip to the unknown he did not need luggage.

Cuando llegó el día de su partida, se presentó e, la dirección que los responsables del concurso le habían facilitado. Esperó en una sala ...

Movement Today I have verified what I had been intuiting for a long time. Light does not propagate in a vacuum. It's instant. The first attempts to measure the speed of light, Roemer's experiments in 1676, when measuring eclipses of Jupiter's moon Io, did not take into account that space is not empty. The same happened with the Michelson-Morley experiment, in which the non-existence of the ether was demonstrated. If they had carried out the experiment in a space filled with water, simulating the movement of the Earth, they would have obtained the same result. The problem is that the experiment cannot detect something that is undetectable: movement. Or put another way, light ignores what we understand by movement. For light, movement does not exist. Movimiento Hoy he comprobado lo que venía intuyendo desde hace tiempo. La luz no se propaga en el vacío. Es instantánea. Los primeros intentos de medir la velocidad de la luz, los experimentos de Roemer en 1676, al medir los ecli...

The Hole 1 As the spacecraft approached Saturn, onboard instruments detected the presence of thoughts created by someone outside of the crew. Thoughts that were subtly transformed into concrete actions. The commander interpreted that those thoughts came from the hole. An idea that, like in The Odyssey, in which the sirens tried to convince Ulysses to lead him to a fatal destination, they tried to convince the crew to approach the hole. The event catcher system detected the way in which thoughts acted on certain crew members to promote a mutiny. El agujero 1 A medida que la nave se aproximaba a Saturno, los instrumentos de a bordo detectaron la presencia de pensamientos ajenos a la tripulación. Pensamientos que se transformaban sutilmente en acciones concretas. El comandante interpretó que aquellos pensamientos provenían del agujero. Una idea que como en La Odisea, en la que las sirenas trataban de convencer a Ulises para conducirlo a un destino fatal, pretendían convencer a los tripula...

 The Hole A thousand years had passed since astronomers discovered it, and that hole had always been there. It was a black cavity on the surface of Saturn. During all those years, they had seen that the hole devoured everything that appeared in its vicinity. In addition, he changed position with extraordinary ease. Finally, an expedition to the planet, equipped with all the mental force measuring devices, including an event trapping system, was going to discover its secret. El agujero Habían pasado mil años desde que los astrónomos lo descubrieran, y aquel agujero siempre había estado allí. Era una cavidad negra sobre la superficie de Saturno. Durante todos aquellos años, habían visto que el agujero devoraba todo lo que aparecía en sus proximidades. Además, cambiaba de posición con una facilidad extraordinaria. Por fin, una expedición al planeta, provista de todos los aparatos medidores de fuerzas mentales, incluido un sistema atrapador de eventos iba a descubrir su secreto.

Neglect He was careless for an instant and a feeling fell to the ground and broke. It wasn't just any feeling. He knelt down and began to pick up the countless bits scattered on the floor. A day passed and another day. A year passed and another year. And it happened to pass by the one who sees everything, and knowing that he would still have to be many years to complete his work, he took pity on him and asked him. "Is that feeling that has broken you so important?" "It is my mother's, which has been with me since she died and is the food of my soul to continue living". The one who sees everything gathered the pieces that were scattered on the ground and gave them to him. -It is my wish that this feeling continues to be part of you and that your soul feels protected until the end of your days. Descuido Se descuidó un instante y un sentimiento se le cayó al suelo y se rompió. No era un sentimiento cualquiera. Se arrodilló y empezó a recoger los incontables tro...

The D ream of Time You think you exist but you know very well that you are not, and you have never been, nor will you be. Your existence is not real, because you are nothing more than an instant in the dream of time. El sueño del tiempo Crees que existes, pero sabes muy bien que no eres, ni has sido nunca, ni jamás serás. Tú existencia no es real, porque solo eres un instante en el sueño del tiempo.

Elysium Mons The ship came to rest gently on the arid soil of Elysium Mons, located at the coordinates 25 N, 213 W, of Mars. The duration of interstellar travel required entire families to embark to ensure that young crew members could replace the older ones in due course and thus ensure the success of the missions. On an experimental journey through the galaxy, the ship approached the solar system and established contact with the Interplanetary Brotherhood on Earth. In fact, there was a close collaboration between the different beings that inhabited the planets and satellites of the galaxy to preserve harmony and proper functioning between them. In collaboration with the Near Space Unit of Planet Earth, they managed to find out that the little boy, confusing Mars with Earth, tried to see his friend, whom he had met on his previous trip. They found his little green body in one of the folds of the ground. No one could explain how the little boy had left the ship without anyone or the se...
