For 17 years, Yaid has proposed to his wife to travel to mercury
at the end of each year, to which his wife answers dubiously:
"And how long will we stay?"
Yaid was born in a hot place, located on just a planet in the
middle of the sun and Venus, more precisely on Mercury
Yaid lives on earth with his wife and daughters, but his birth
family is 80,000 kilometers away. So every year they travel to this planet
almost turned into fire, but after a couple of weeks his wife feels that she
cannot bear the heat, she disagrees with some food practices that go against
her environmental ideals, the inhabitants of mercury They steal animals from
planet earth through a night extraction system and feed on them. Before making
each trip at the end of the year, Yaid and his wife agree with the times, it is
always two weeks because she and her two daughters are Earthlings and cannot
bear one more day of such strong changes in the environment. She knows that if
she does not put these conditions, Yaid would stay to live permanently in that
place and they would die a short time later.
There was a very particular experience a few years ago because
Yaid had not been able to travel for a long time due to different situations,
so when they decided to travel, the happiness of the man to see his parents and
brothers were so great that time passed and he did not want to return, the Very
worried wife insisted that they return, but he did not, he told his wife to go
alone with the daughters, because he wanted to enjoy the new one that Mercury
had, among which was a very modern satellite that they had sent from Jupiter to
start interacting with other extraterrestrial beings.
The wife by obligation had to return to Planet Earth with her
daughters, it was a really long time and she was honestly calmer not having the
obligation to go to that planet every year. But she could not hide her
husband's lack and without a doubt, despite everything, he also loved his home.
On that occasion, Yaid returned to earth and with great sadness said goodbye to
his mom and dad, but with great emotion to return to his beloved wife and
daughters.
Seeing this absurd separation, the wife received him with all the
love and promised that they would go more often to visit her family but keeping
with the times.
As usual, the family traveled a year ago for the four of their
vacations, which coincided in December. Every millennium the sun turns three
more times in a customary rotation, and they did not remember this, which is
why Yaid asked his wife to let him stay one more day, leaving the limit of the
exposure of his wife and daughters and in actually it was three more days.
The couple's annual discussion is over ……. And Yaid stayed to live
permanently on Mercury
The wife and daughters died after fulfilling the wish of their
loved one.
This family ended after struggling for 17 years with this
permanent situation of whim or real feeling.

Lupe's Experience
¨The life can be luminous, except when the subconscious
speaks to you so as not to fall into a trap. ¨
Lupe was a very happy and cheerful girl, who went with her mother
to a town where they have a house very close to a river, where one day walking
along the shore she found a large stone with a shiny material, when she came to
her to pick it up, I hear a low voice saying continuously.
Lupe, don't do it, don't pick up that stone, it's dangerous ...
When Lupe surprised, she wanted to find out where that voice came from, she
discovered that near the ground she heard that voice, she discovered that it
was a cricket and she looked at it shocked and asked.
Who are you?
The cricket replied, I am Rasputin and I am here to help you.
Lupe responds: how to help me, from what or who?
Rasputin: of the curse that stone has if you pick it up.
Lupe says: OH yes why ?.
Rasputin says: that stone has been there for years and it shines a
lot to attract children so that the river can take them away, because several
years ago a child was taken by the river and was never found, which people say
the river loves take the child to replace the one who died in the river.
Lupe says: I don't want him to take me what I should do to end
this curse here in town. Rasputin says: There is only one way to end the spell,
you must look for a red rose and pinch your finger and let the blood fall on
the stone and then you must put fire on it to end the spell. Lupe says: that
must be painful!!!! Rasputin says:! you must do it but it will keep taking
children !!!.
Lupe: the next day I got up early to get the rose in a nearby
neighbor's garden and went to the river to do the ritual and being there about
to do the ritual of what I had to do, I heard a roar that seemed as if the The
river was going to overflow, which she ran to her house and the faint of the
road passed out, after a long time she woke up at her mother's house with a
stone in her hand dark and gray, because the metal had disappeared. The mother,
a little worried about the facts, has decided to prepare an apple pie for her
daughter so that she can enjoy it in the company of her friend Rasputin and
thus invite him to her house whenever Lupe goes on vacation to the town called
Valle Hermoso.
Rasputin says: Friend, I thought you had lost, you gave us a great
scare, but with your courage and ritual, the spell seems to have disappeared.
Lupe says: Rasputin I owe everything to you. Thank you for being
my friend and I hope to always share my upcoming holidays with you.
And colorin colorado this story is over.

The Unreal Love
“Be careful what you
wish, you don’t always get what you want and you will have to work hard to get
it”, said a lugubrious voice, that was last thing Hanna heard, when she
saw to like she lost her Brand-new husband, well he was facinating, strong as
oak, ljght eyes as the blue of the sky and his perfect smile, that
every time she saw him she felt like dying, she felt to faded with a puffand
when he kissed her it was as if a northern lights appeared around her and fly
over the fluffy clouds, while her heart was beating as hard as the ticking of a
new watch.
Toguether Hanna and
Ray, they lived in a parallel world called Heatrow, where they have everything,
apparently everything they need to be happy, to live as a couple all their
unreal life,already they lived to the surplus of the real world called
Trowhea,because in their livingroom they had a parallel Wall to past to this
real world and all days they saw them do their doubles from dawned until
nightfall, the daily routine, their job, their Friends, the exercise they
practiced, their food and the people with whom they meet, every day Hanna and
Ray wondered what it would be like to go to the other side of the wall, live
like your doubles lived, because they were caught in the unreal world, dark and
monotonous, becasue they were always in the shadow of their peers; Ray prefer
to forget that questions and to live the momento they were Ok, toguether and
happy, but Hanna thought different and for she wasn’t easy foget that questions.
Hanna knew it was
impossible for Ray to do something or it will leave her just trying to move
into the real world and live normal, so she decide with all the pain in her
soul, like when you lose a loved one, she risks breaking trought that wallthat
prevent him from knowing and living something that was not her, she leaves the
love of her life to the one who made her vanish and fly over the fluffy clouds,
for she dicovered the real world in the oyher side of the wall, she knew he
would see her since they always saw their doubles on the other side so he knew
she would be okey. Hanna woke up one day and she prepared for Ray a potion which
he gave it for his breakfast like every morning, he took the drink and then
there was a rumble that Hanna freaked out, but she keep in mind Ray had fallen
like a Stone and was lying on the ground, Hanna gave him a Kiss that lasted
centuries, in his blood red lips and she touched his face saying that she come
back son while a fragile tear fell on her face, as fragile as when you blow a
dandelion.
Hanna dressed, she
stood in front of the magic wall, she took a deep breath and she stood your
hand over the wall, so, in one fell swoop she was sucked into the dark hole,
alone, with a dense fog and she herd several voices, she didn’t know where she
was, she just knew that it wasn’t on the other side of her wall where
everithing was real, because she didn’t see their doubles and her husband too,
so between the darkness, the voices and the solitude of that place she began to
walk aimlessly, trying to find a way out or a light to guide her; Hanna walked
for hours but days had passed for her, until she saw a dark light but shiny
inside of the same darkness, she walked and walked until she got close enough
and necessary to listen with aa glommy and mocking voice “This is what
you were looking for” “ This you wanted to see, Hanna”,Hanna couldn’t see
anything until two large and bright windows opened in front of her and she
began to show her reality.
In a one window, Ray was the love of his life, He had already woke up
because many days had passed and he was desperate looking for her among what he
could, while in the other window showed her doubles in their normal lives doing
what they always did without having any idea that they had a world behind the
wall; Hanna don’t understand what happend, if she was to be in Trowhe, again
the voice spoke and said “ You thought it was just touching the wall
and taking a life that is not yours, because you are wrong Hanna, what you see
in these two windows is your reality”, she entered into a deep and non-stop
crying, she began to hit the windows but only a loud sound bounced off his own
blows, her screams were not heard in the other side of the windows and she was
like this for hours, until her hands were hurt and as rivers blood began to
flow, she sat and she keep crying, while she did questions to the darkness what
happen? Why do not they listen to me?, Why can not enter? Please I want to get
out of here; finally the voice answer “Hanna, you had it all and now there
isn’t way to go back to the past and is not possible send yourself to the
future that you wanted to know, you must see through these windows your life”.

The Temple of the Prophecies
In 2034 a group of archaeologists, scientists, and engineers came
together to build a high-tech research station on the planet Uranus, called The
Madox Center. There was found a huge cave with engraved walls and humanoid
bones, apparently original inhabitants of Uranus. The researchers who carried
out the excavations, discovered that the cave was actually an ancient temple
and fascinated, they continued with the studies to decipher such engravings.
To ensure the arrival of provisions and auxiliary personnel at The
Madox Center, The Portal was always in operation; a command center located on
planet Earth, where the liaison team operated and supervised a device that
allowed teleportation between both planets.
After 10 years, in 2044 Dr. John Miller, chief in charge of the
investigations and his colleagues, discover the terrible meaning of the
engravings, and immediately, everyone is called to a meeting.
- Thanks for coming so quickly, I am Dr. Miller and I have
gathered you here to inform you that after years of research, we have
deciphered the temple engravings; unfortunately the meaning is not
encouraging...The engravings refer to a prophecy, this indicates that every
4000 years a gigantic rock engulfed in flames hit the planet Earth, we know
that it refers to a meteorite; what is truly alarming is that the prophecy
reveals that this is the year in which such a meteorite will fall.
Immediately everyone panicked and in the middle of the commotion,
Dr. Lucy Evans, a faithful friend of Dr. Miller, entered the room and with
determination she said:
- We must be calm, it is likely that within the temple we can find
a weapon that destroy the meteorite, that is why we must continue with the
excavations.
One of the researchers exclaimed enraged:
- No way! We need to use The Portal and return to planet Earth; it
took us ten years to decipher the information, it is impossible to find a
solution to avoid such a catastrophe, we must return and stay with our families
the remaining time.
Silence invaded the room and after a moment, Dr. Miller replied:
- It is true, I will not force anyone to stay, you are all free to
return to your families, so I will contact the liaison team to prepare The
Portal, but I will stay, I know that I can find a way to avoid this, after
years of research here, I feel that this is my purpose.
After the meeting, the personnel began with the evacuation while
Dr. Miller remained motionless in the room. At that moment Dr. Evans approached
him, and with a smile said:
- John, I won't let you save the world alone, so I'll stay with
you and we'll find a solution together.
Both doctors worked tirelessly for a month in the temple trying to
discover some indication to avoid the catastrophe; they wanted with all their
might to find a way to save all those good people and things that still
remained on Earth. Finally they found a clue; one of the walls had engraved
drawings and signs, these referred to a great blue stone that would be rebelled
on time to be deposited in the sacred scepter; the weapon to destroy the great
red stone.
John and Lucy were exhausted from touring the temple without
finding the holy weapon, so they fell fast asleep. Suddenly, the satellites
identified a huge meteorite traveling at high speed toward Earth and the alert
was issued in every corner of the Madox Center; John and Lucy woke up quickly,
at the same time a strong tremor shook them and they saw a huge door emerge
from the ground.
Lucy exclaimed:
- ¡John, it's a secret chamber, there must be the blue stone!
Both went to the door, immediately they saw a protruding circle
and Lucy pressed it hard, the chamber began to open but it only remained open
while the circle was pressed. Inside the chamber they saw a golden scepter and
a trunk, so John ran inside; when he opened the trunk he found a huge blue
stone and shouted excited:
- ¡Lucy, this is the weapon, we found it!
Lucy replied desperately:
- Now you must place it on the golden scepter ¡Hurry up John!
John tried to move it, but the stone was too heavy and he could
barely hold it. The tremors were getting louder and the alert indicated that
the meteorite was about to hit the Earth. At that moment, John looked at Lucy
and said out loud:
- I know that look, don't do it Lucy, just go and save yourself
before this place collapses.
Lucy exclaimed with tears in her eyes:
- ¡Shut up, I'll go help you and whatever happens we'll save the
earth together. Is this why you and I stay! ¿Right?.
Lucy ran into the chamber while the door closed and she joined
forces with John to lift the stone and place it on the golden scepter;
immediately, an intense blue light was projected on the meteorite making it
disappear. After the threat was totally eliminated, the light faded and the
door opened again. As soon as the alarm stopped, John and Lucy got up removing
the debris from their bodies and together they left the temple.
John looked at Lucy and squeezing her hand said:
- We did it Lucy, the human race has another opportunity to
continue living and although there are people who do not deserve it, I want to
think that we ran the risks only to preserve and the goodness of the Eart.
Lucy replied:
- That's right. Now, what if we take a long vacation, Hawaii is a
good option ¿what do you say?...I know we still have a lot to discover on this
planet, but I think Uranus will not go anywhere.
John said:
- Sounds good to me, now let's go.
And so, these good friends activated The Portal and returned to
planet Earth as heroes.

Lie and Lot
It all started when Lie woke up earlier than usual, he looked
through the window, but he did not see Lot, his neighbor. When Lie was eight, a
family (in which Lot belonged to) from the unmentionable planet moved to his
dwarf planet named “Kaputt.” Since then, Lie used to check on Lot every
morning, it had passed 12 years and Lie had never stopped checking on Lot, even
though they never talked and Lie was not even sure if Lot knew about his
existence, Lot was sure about two things: they were the same age and Lie had
feelings for Lie.
The main reason why Lie was that interested in Lot was because of
his appearance. When Lie first opened his eyes, he started wondering why he was
that handsome, that tall, that brawny, why his eyes were that blue, why his
eyebrows were that bushy, why his nose was that pointy and his lips were that
provocative. Lie asked his parents about it, and they told him that they had
designed his face as they wanted him to be. Since Lie knew that, he started
feeling like he was a lie, instead, when Lie saw Lot, Lie knew Lot was real
since he did not look as perfect as everyone he had met before.
Lie jumped out of the bed and asked his parents if they knew about
the family from the unmentionable planet; however, they did not know anything.
Lie got dressed and went out to find some answers. He started his hunt by
knocking the door, it was a new family living there and they looked exactly
like everyone in Kaputt. Lie asked the new facility about the previous family
living there and they told him that they had not even met them. Lie came up
with an excuse and asked for permission to check on Lot’s him, he said that Lot
had borrowed his Ortipoot that is a tool made of gas that everyone is Kaputt
uses to clean their wings (they have wings on their heads).
Lie went to Lot’s room, but it was almost empty; nevertheless, the
wall was stripped, it had too many lines drawn, he counted them, and they were
over four thousand lines. After some minutes of thinking, Lot realized that it
had been the number of days that Lot had been in Kaputt. Lot was about to go,
but he saw a piece of paper that said, “Run as fast as you can”. As soon as he
read that, everything when dark, Kaputt did not have sunlight but just
artificial. Lot was not able to see anything; he was screaming for help, but it
seemed like no one was listening. Lot stayed there, frightened, it had passed
six hours when he listened a voice asking for him: “Lot, Lot, are you there”,
Lot replied indicating he was in the last room and he saw a lantern rapidly
approaching him. “Here you are”, he listened, it was him, Lot.
Once lot overcame Lie, Lot started explaining to him that the
people who inhabit the unmentionable planet were humans and they had sent him
and his family to look out Kaputt citizens and get information about how they
lived. Lot explained that humans want to attack Kaputt because they wanted to
steal their genes, people from the unmentionable planet were so vain that they
wanted to be as beautiful as them. Humans had discovered a way to intrude into
Kaputt's electricity system and they sabotaged it, so at that precise moment,
one spaceship full of humans was on its way to kaput to start the war. For 12
years, Lot had seen Lie as much ad Lie had checked on Lot, Lot had discovered
people on Kaputt were good and they did not deserve to be punished for his
beauty, besides, he discovered their beauty was artificial.
Lie and Lot began to design a plan to stop their mission and save
Kaputt which consisted of teleporting kaput to attack the humans with Ortipoot
arrows, so they will not be hurt but they could be stopped.
Once they teleported to kaput, they asked all the inhabitants of
kaput to help them to launch the arrows, it was there when the war began. They
fought for several hours; however, when humans were stopped, Lie and Lot stood
in front and explained humans they wanted something that was not real, and that
miserliness was going to destroy a fair planet. Humans understood and they
decided to stop the war.
In the end, Lie and Lot stayed together, now they live in Kaputt
and they go from planet to planet fighting against any kind of evil.
