Twilight's Flash Fiction / Relatos cortos crepusculares

 Wings to Breathe He was born in the silence of a summer night. He spent his childhood unable to breathe. He was blue and in his solitude, he nourished dreams of having a friend with whom to fly through the skies. He imagined flying high, with the air caressing his plumage that would no longer be blue. It happened without expecting it. He spread his wings, and then, in an instant, the alveoli of his lungs opened, and he began to breathe. He breathed so deeply that the abyss in which he had lived became small, small and finally disappeared. His plumage was an intense red and when he began to fly, he ascended and ascended and when he was very high, someone went to meet him and accompanied him for the rest of his days.   Alas para respirar Nació en el silencio de una noche de verano. Pasó su niñez sin poder respirar. Era azul y en su soledad alimentaba los sueños de tener un amigo con el que surcar los cielos. Se imaginaba volando alto, con el aire acariciando su plumaj...

Be Reborn After being reborn, he cherished the companionship of water and air more than ever before. His tears merged with the blue of the sea that had brought him back to life. He embraced the joy of seeing once again the beings who had accompanied him through the ages. His thoughts then penetrated the unfathomable mysteries of life. Thus, after crossing the gates of the Absolute, he was able to die once more... so that he would never truly die.   Renacer Y después de renacer apreció más que nunca la compañía del agua y del aire. Sus lágrimas se fundieron con el azul del mar que le había vuelto a la vida. Sitió la emoción de volver a ver a los seres que durante eones le habían acompañado a través del tiempo. Y sus pensamientos penetraron en los insondables misterios de la vida. Así, después de cruzar las puertas de lo absoluto, pudo volver a morir, para no morir.

    The Old Flesh Suit He was awakened by the familiar shrill sound of the old clock. He got up ready to win that day, which the previous night seemed to him would last forever. At that moment he remembered when he came to Earth with a single purpose: to coexist with humans and report reports to his superiors. It was the time of Cyrus the Great, which is currently thirty centuries old in the 23rd century. And it seemed like he had arrived yesterday. He put on the meat clothes that he had worn since that time and left the house without looking back. It was his last day on Earth. Those meat clothes had worked a miracle: he felt like a human and now it was difficult for him to abandon everything that he had experienced for thirty centuries. He had experienced human history as one of them, although immortal. His metal frame had remained hidden and so it should be until he boarded the spaceship that would take him back home. He did not count on the long spaceship that hit his mini ...

  The Return Trip When I arrived at the inner part of me, there was nothing. I tried to return to my known part, but it was impossible. So, since that happened, I feel being but I at the same time feel am not. I have lost everything except the words. The magic of words.   El viaje de retorno Cuando llegué a mi interior, no había nada. Intenté volver a mi parte conocida, pero fue imposible. Entonces, desde que eso pasó, siento que soy pero al mismo tiempo siento que no soy. Lo he perdido todo excepto las palabras. La magia de las palabras.

Zero Space Theory As a telecommunications engineer specializing in cosmology, I had devoted years to developing the Zero-Space Theory , though it was never accepted by the scientific community. The heirs to Einstein’s legacy dismissed it as incompatible with the Theory of Everything. The Zero-Space Theory maintained that the forces sustaining the existence of space itself could become unstable. When that happened, space would begin to collapse inward until it finally ceased to exist. No one had ever managed to prove such a hypothesis. Until one day. While conducting laboratory experiments on the spatial properties of matter predicted by the Theory of Everything, I succeeded in isolating a family of invasive semiquarks. No particle accelerator had ever detected an anomaly of that kind. After several hours of observation, however, absolutely nothing happened. I left the laboratory convinced that the experiment had failed. Until that morning. Then, in a single instant, it began. As I sipp...

  Encounter And the alien asked the farmer about the crops he had in his fields. The farmer, perplexed by the stranger's appearance, thought he was someone going to a costume party. He hesitated for a moment about the answer and in the end decided to explain the details of the crops. He did not know that his abduction was very close. Absorbed in his detailed explanations, he did not notice the spaceship that was silently approaching the vicinity of his winepress. Everything happened very quickly. He felt nauseous and had the sensation that the ground was opening up at his feet. When he woke up, an endless expanse of unknown plant crops awaited him. He was wearing a kind of space suit and on the distant horizon he could see the incredible image of two enormous suns, each one illuminating that immense space with a different light. But, what was far in front of him? But, what was far in front of him? In some way his winepress was there. Someone had brought to this distant planet his l...

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. When I reached the height of the shadows, I looked at the ground and I could see my shadow going through them without any impediment. When I left the cemet...

Cuando cada instante lo saboreas sin que el tiempo disfrazado de obligaciones te esclavice, eres el rey.
