The murderer

# data[].attributes.body
Always a dreamer. He had always said he’d be an astronaut. He’d go to the moon and pick one of the stars to prove he’d been there. Since yesterday, his room is darker than usual. The sky finally asked him to give it back. Now, nights are brighter than ever.

No sooner had the witness entered the courtroom than he immediately recognised the murderer. He recognised his icy eyes and the same white hand that had shot the poor black boy. Just then, the murderer, hitting the wooden gavel, spoke and said: Order! Order!. Does the defense have any questions?

I woke up this morning and I climbed the tree. I jumped high enough and I ventured into the clouds until the shore. I dived into the ocean and I slipped away. I crossed the wood and I reached those railings. I opened their door and eventually entered the kitchen...

Jack has a terrible hangover. He crawls to his desk where he finds another chapter of his novel. He doesn´t remember writing anything. Puzzled, he orders a pizza, leaves the door open and falls asleep. The pizza boy comes, puts the box over a pile and sits at the desk.

Her eyes tracked down the darkness through her binoculars. Shifting from here to there, the volunteer glimpsed nothing but deep gloom. Ominous silence. Out of the blue, desperate eyes crossed her soul through the lens...128 aghast eyes gleaming in the murk, standing on a boat, drifting in the sea.

My boss is calling me. I go there immediately. The company´s going badly and he blames me for not being a diligent, open-minded employee. Knock! Knock! Come in! I take my six-shooter off my pocket and I just blow his brains out. Hey boss, now you see what open-minded means!

I remember that warm summer evening facing the sea with the lulling sound of the waves and daylight progressively fading before the sun set. I almost went totally crazy when I saw you and felt the sensuous and ripe taste of your orange skin... You were such a delicious peach!

For seven years you've been the one that never failed me. Whenever I felt insecure I only needed you to feel powerful. You know every single inch of my skin better than I do and now you are leaving me... You know what? Goodbye. Other jeans will fit me.

The lights were off, no noise in the surroundings. The house was empty, no guard dogs nor visible alarms. The man introduced the skeleton key into the lock and opened the door stealthily. The walls vibrated with a loud “Happy Birthday!”. “Bad day for a surprise party” thought the thief.

Overwhelming silence; we are wearing our gala uniforms, forming line, facing each other. No way to hide nor to escape. The instructions are spinning in my head. Hands up! Stay in line! My partner is my mirror; panic in his eyes... A bagpipe starts playing, the muiñeira dance show begins!

Since a toddler, I was taught to put the right waste in the right bin.

The green bin for the glassy-eyed werewolves; hard nuts to crack! The blue bin: the right place to dump cardboard-faced witches.

The brown one? Still waiting for the zombies who have devoured my beloved Ariadne.

It is well known that water is life and you make it more alive if possible.

You, rather hot or cold, will be my dark mate forever. The one who wakes me up in the mornings and the same one who keeps me asleep some nights. I need you coffee.

I had been up there for too long. The desire to run away became unbearable. Like a wild instinct. It was frightfully high, but I decided to jump. And I fell. And I realized that I wasn't alone. We were hundred of thousands, innumerable snowflakes gently swinging into the void.

The kitten was injured. A wound on its paw after playing with a sharp knife. When Alba arrived in the kitchen the floor was covered in blood. She rushed to the vet and once there they tried to stop the hemorrhage. It was a tragedy. She was allergic to cats.

Hatred is what I feel when I hear that repetitive noise. A piercing song that destroys my dreams with its ruthless tune. My head is about to explode. An endless tick, worse than the worst of raps, an unbeatable drill. I curse you, dripping tap! You woke me up again!

-No, I'm not. I'm Li Kequiang... Your glasses are under your chin.
Sorry, I'll put them on... Nice to meet you, Mr Li Kequiang

The road was slippy with rain. From his window he had a good view of the down hill road. He saw the rearless child on a bycicle approaching at higher speed than needed for such a steep downhill. His mouth watering in anticipation... his camera was ready!!

During the Barcelona Olympics, next to the "Sagrada Familia", an Italian car had been fined for improper parking.
The Italian never understood why he had two identical fines at home when back from vacation.
A Spanish driver also parked imprperly and simply put the first Italian fine on his windshield.

Schoolgrounds, cold and dangerous.
Pestie has arrived.
He looked specially green and yellowish. HE TOUCHED ME!!! I was scared, so I insulted him. Everybody laughed. He took my dad's tie from me - I could breath- Then, he gave me his glasses, I could finally see!
I WAS THE SICK ONE!

That day I felt really anxious because I was waiting for it and started thinking it was never going to happen.
My boyfriend got extrimely nervous. Suddenly, he reached out his hand holding a small box.
I opened it and was astonished by what I saw.!

Different cultures, separate ethnic groups. However, best friends at school.
No sooner did they grow than prejudices were meekly assumed. Years of distrust and misconceptions followed.
Then S has a pram.
Now, jump off the barriers.
Go, M, go!
An accomplice smile over the innocence stirred their lost friendship.

He woke up surrounded by darkness.
Silence.
He had some battery left on the phone but no signal at all.
Midnight.
His chest was burning, his clothes were stained.
Blood.
He felt anxious and trapped.
"Let me out!"
A scream was heard from six feet under the ground.
Then, silence.

The virus has been finally cornered. It has been an intense fight and even though it was not a landslide win, after 2 billion deaths this fatal disease has been completely eradicated.
The victims are mainly concentrated in Afruca and South America where the population was more vulnerable.
RIP Famine

The phone was almost running out of battery yet I wasn't able to find out what I was seeking. Amongst the photo philters something was missing, they didn't reflect what my heart was singing.
For though I close my eyes, all I see is la vie en rose.

Everyone in the Seven Kingdoms witnessed the death of every single one of the candidates to sit on the Iron Throne.
But in the end, Queen Daenerys Targaryen was able to reach her goal, only to end up dead.
It was a pity that Coronavirus also got to her.

I needed to see a dentist. I saw her name and I remembered her. We were schoolmates.
With this physical appearence, she could not be the same appealing girl I remembered. When she finished, I told her she was in my classroom.
She asked me: What did you teach me?

First, the screeching tyres, then the breathtaking scream and finally the thump.
We heard the bones cracking and the body hitting the asphalt. And then again the engine roaring, the raging multitude dragging the driver through the window, the lynching...
And the end: the rope creaoking over the dog's corpse.
