Twilight's Flash Fiction / Relatos cortos crepusculares

Silence Among the secret folds of your silence, there are hidden words that you did not let escape. The mirror in which you looked at yourself broke your image, and fleeting thoughts, captured in white canvases, sketched your present, which is the absence of my future. Because of your unreachable state, the roses bleed, the aquamarines weep, and the emotioned waves break over your narrow receptacle. Black habits encircle your inert body, and the lilies around you, like an insurmountable border, keep you alone, unattainable. Silencio Entre los secretos pliegues de tu silencio, se esconden palabras que no dejaste escapar. Rompió tu imagen el espejo en el que te mirabas, y pensamientos fugaces, plasmados en blancos lienzos, esbozaron tu presente, que es la ausencia de mi futuro. Por tu presente, sangran las rosas, lloran las aguamarinas, y rompen las olas emocionadas sobre tu estrecho receptáculo. Negros hábitos ciñen tu cuerpo inerte, y los lirios en tu derre...

Pluto The spaceship crashed into Pluto's ground. Someone cried on Earth. Someone who had put his dreams in the hands of one of the crew. Someone who went to Pluto to recognize the corpse, and there stayed with him to fulfill his dreams. Plutón La nave se estrelló contra el suelo de Plutón. Alguien lloró en la Tierra. Alguien que había puesto sus sueños en manos de uno de los tripulantes. Alguien que fue a Plutón a reconocer el cadáver, y allí se quedó con él para cumplir sus sueños.

Spectrums A good breakfast always helps to face the day with courage. Especially if the coffee is of good quality. The waitress greeted me kindly, and as every day she served me a coffee with very hot milk and a freshly made croissant. That morning I was entertaining myself looking at a lady who had sat close to where I was. Suddenly a spectral image just like hers began to take shape. The ghost rose from the chair and went to where I was, sat next to me and said: "I'm in love with you, and I'm not leaving you for anything in the world." It is a wonderful spectral figure. We are living together and from that day on never we have lived separated. When I see that lady at breakfast, I wonder how she'll live without her spectrum. Espectros Un buen desayuno siempre ayuda a enfrentarse al día con ánimo. Especialmente si el café es de buena calidad. La camarera me saludó amablemente, y como todos los días me sirvió un café con leche muy calient...

Lake Garda A few months ago I bought a mansion near what was Lake Garda. It is a superb mid-seventeenth-century building, but some of its outbuildings did not meet the conditions of habitability, so the foundations of part of the basement had to be revised. During the first excavation, the workers found a small metal box in which some initials had been engraved. After trying to open it unsuccessfully, there was no choice but to break it. Inside there were several objects among which were discs about 10 centimeters in diameter. I didn't know exactly what it was about and I mentally asked the World Library. Immediately, all the information concerning those disks was reproduced in my mind. According to the information stored, these were memory systems that were used in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. I visually reviewed one of them and sent it telepathically to the World Library. Again, the images and sounds on that disc were immediately reproduced in m...

Extrasounds Katy, recovered from the shock of seeing and hearing Tom, didn't know where to start looking for his mates. As they fed on the darkness, she tried to remember places where they could have taken refuge from the light. When she was a child, her uncle confessed to her that tiny beings detected ultrasound signals that humans can generate. In order to generate these signals it is necessary to adopt a certain body posture and emit a sequence of intense guttural sounds. Thinking it could work, Katy did it so. That same night, when she was getting ready to sleep, she was alerted by a tap on the glass in the bedroom window. Extrasonidos Katy, recuperada de shock que había supuesto poder ver y oír a Tom, no sabía por dónde empezar a buscar a sus compañeros. Como se alimentaban de la oscuridad trató de recordar lugares en los que hubieran podido refugiarse de la luz. Cuando era niña, su tío le confesó que los seres diminutos detectaban señales de ultrasoni...

Her Eyes That morning I went to the garden to meet her. When I arrived at the greenhouse, the large leaves of the cove concealed most of her anatomy. Even so, I could see her eyes of intense gaze, inquisitive and sweet at the same time. Slowly I surrounded the cove and saved the space that separated us. I caressed her head, and her eyes, staring at me, became damp. I believe that at that moment she was saying goodbye. It had only been a few days since I had saved her life, although I could not prevent her from being badly wounded by a crazy sniper. She closed her eyes, and I cried heartbrokenly. For a few days she had been my panther, and her eyes had expressed it all. Sus ojos Aquella mañana me dirigí al jardín para encontrarme con ella. Cuando llegué al invernadero, las grandes hojas de la cala ocultaban la mayor parte de su anatomía. Aun así, podía ver sus ojos de mirada intensa, inquisitivos y dulces al mismo tiempo. Lentamente rodeé la cala y salvé el espaci...

Antigravity Waves When Tom and the wolves moved from Letha to the planet Gorga with the intention of rescuing magical beings kidnapped by the inhabitants of Gorga, they had to activate their shields against the antigravity waves coming from the planet. These waves were preventing them from approaching its surface. The shields were actually antigravity waves of greater intensity than those emitted by the planet and generated by the group through an effect of synchrony in resonance. This allowed them to reach the surface of the planet and follow the spider that had as destiny the centers in which the kidnapped beings were interned. Ondas antigravitatorias Cuando Tom y los lobos se trasladaron de Letha al planeta Gorga con la intención de rescatar a unos seres mágicos secuestrados por los habitantes de Gorga, tuvieron que activar sus escudos contra las ondas antigravitatorias procedentes del planeta. Estas ondas les impedían acercarse a su superficie. Los escudos eran r...
