Red Shoe
ReplyDeleteWhen I woke it was night, I was lying down on the shore of the lake, the moon was shining brightly and I could see that my clothes were stained with blood, but I knew it was not mine because I did not feel any pain, why I was there? What had happened? Why was blood on my clothes? And most importantly why I could not remember anything? Something serious had happened, I sat down, try to remember, but nothing came to my mind, when I looked around I could see that on the other side of lake something shining, I was curious, and I headed there while walking, I try remember, I closed my eyes and for a moment I could see the image of a beautiful woman dressed in red dress and shoes. Who was she? Did I know her? He kept walking, while I look into my pockets and realized I had a ring and a piece of paper, I was married? Did I have family? Was the woman in red, my wife? So check the piece of paper that had the name "Marc Thompson" written in, was that my name? Kept asking much more, I suddenly tripped over something and fell straight to the ground and what I saw was really scary, right in front was a bloodied knife, I sat down and my hand felt something else that was a little wet when I look, my hand had blood then I turn my head slightly to see what it was, it was a red shoe, I was surprised even more. What does it all mean? First I was covered in blood, then the image of the woman in red, then the ring and piece of paper in my pocket, and now the knife and the shoe covered in blood. I began to breathe very fast I was very afraid, what happened? I got up and started running wondering, whose was the blood that was in my clothing, on the knife and on the shoe? Then I felt dizzy I fell on my knees to the floor, suddenly all the memories came to me. The Woman in Red was my wife and Marc Thompson was the man she was cheating on me, when I discovered the betrayal I went straight home, I enter through the back door, she was in the room working, I take a knife from the kitchen, and I approached her from behind, and with the knife I cut his throat, the blood splattered up the wall, I stare as he lay dying, she wore a red dress that I liked so much I always knew that the red paired well with her. then I raised her body in my arms and left the house, it was fortunate that we lived in front of a lake, for there I throw his lifeless body, I still had the knife in my hands I turned around, and saw that one his shoes had fallen, I take it and I started to walk, I had always enjoyed my walks around the lake.

ReplyDeleteVioletta was a woman who was always sad, her boyfriend had committed suicide recently he jumped off a building and she dreamed with him every night, she thought was a real dream, so when she woke up she was depressed so much in addition she hurt herself. Violetta was a woman who was changing very fast her temper, when she was very cheerful talked a lot about her boyfriend and she liked much makeup and when she was sad she was depressed and stuck to the walls and cried all the time.
ReplyDeleteShe dreamed that she was going to jump of the building, but always every passerby saved her to die. She was happy because she only wanted a boyfriend, so she began to harass them, then they left her alone, and she was very depressed.. Therefore she decides to imagine a building very tall, and she wanted to jump but at that moment the person who stopped her was her boyfriend who had died, she thought that it was a dream so she jump with her boyfriend..
The next day in the local newspaper said: woman with schizoaffective disorder, she loses the sense of reality and commits suicide from the highest building in the psychiatric hospital. She lived there for 10 years, she also had an imaginary boyfriend, doctors say that the illusion of an imaginary boyfriend was her excuse to try suicide every day, also they said she lived in a different world that she called sleep, where she believed to control everything.
FEMALE LOGIC
ReplyDeleteA girl called Rebecca was trying to find her true love but she did not know how to do it, she was a beautiful woman but had a defect: she was very intense. Her ex-boyfriends left her because they did not want to be with a person who watched over every single movement they did. Also she had the habit of upload photos dropping hints in order to get something .
One day she shared a photo online which said “in search of love “she thought that this photo would bring her a lot of boys, and effectively it did. The next day she met a guy, the next day another one and the next day another. But none of these guys met her expectations, until she met David. He was really interested in her, he gave him a bunch of presents, he was loving, kind, gentlemanly and funny. They spend so much time being friends and sharing the best moments, she erased the photo because David was the perfect guy. They had many things in common. Definitely she had wasted so much time with the other guys and David was the man that she always wanted.
But suddenly the photo “in search of love” appeared again because she loved him, but only as a friend.
Park Stories
ReplyDeleteThis story started with one man who was in reading in the park, suddenly one girl sat down beside him, he saw her and thought that was so beautiful so he thought of a way to get their attention, or at least talk to her, and he had a conversation beginning with a question that…, well, It was very silly question since the time when he had his watch on his left wrist, she looked at him and laughed at the attempt but for did not feel bad and uncomfortable answered that attempt. From there began a very nice story, but ultimately ends up making them enemies for life.
They met that afternoon more than you usually do in a day; they snapped an appointment and began dating, weeks passed and each time the mutual feeling grew and grew until and after leaving for a long time he asked her to be his girlfriend, very happy and excited she said yes. They were very much in love and their parents to see them so they felt very happy. But something happened a while after, a fact which gave beginning to the end of this story.
Told his girlfriend he was going to his house, but actually going to a party with his friends he had not shared moments (obvious reasons). She didn’t call him that night, but the next day she saw some photos posted on social networks and he was very angry about the lie that made her boyfriend; she called him, asked for an explanation and had a big fight, they didn’t speak for three days, but then they managed to solve their problems.
From there began the intensity of it to know what he did that, she called all the time and he had to answer the phone no matter where or with whom he was, inclusive, used to follow him without him noticing, until once he found out and decided to end the relationship. She didn’t like so began to bother more and more until the law had to intervene, he sued the stalker and from there the story that began in a rather comical way finished with having to use the law on their side.
Now seen, but not spoken, because he hates and she and because if she speaks could go a couple days jail for not complying with the offense.

Looking for true love
ReplyDelete“I was decided; I was ready to throw me of the tenth floor of the building where I live. I felt alone, I felt without money, I felt without beauty and the most important, I felt without love. I just wanted to die. At the top of the building I saw a person who was walking down the sidewalk. I assumed it was a woman because like all women, she did not know where she was going. I decided to throw a shoe to get her attention. But I thought: What if the shoe falls on her head? Perhaps she would never forgive me. But I did it.
Fortunately the shoe did not fall on her head. That alleged woman looked up. She ran up the stairs while I anxiously waited. When she reached the top, I turned my head and looked at her. She was a guy. He saw me and said: Do not do it! You are too young to die. With these words I woke up. This had been a dream, I turned my body and there he was. He is the man who had saved me. He did not save me to throw me of the tenth floor. He saved me from a life alone.
All my life I waited a princess. But he is my prince and I do not need someone else to be happy. He is my life, he is my everything”. This is just an invented story, I am not so lucky and I will not try to commit suicide to find the true love.

ReplyDeleteEveryone wants to be loved, everyone wants to be in love but we never know what form love will take. This is a story about Alyosha. He believed in the idea about love but he did not know how it was until the moment he saw Maria. A promise from Tennis, respected for her talent but famous for her beauty, and just when Alyosha found it, he felt him change was passed of long; love stories always have a beginning but not always begin as you had imagined.
Sometimes love comes and gives you a punch in the face, and that happened to Alyosha, Maria accidentally hit him with the tennis ball leaving him completely unconscious. Days later Alyosha found to Maria training at a local park and accidentally stood watching Maria, she tired and without another breath she saw Alyosha; he remembered that it was the boy who she was hit in the game and she said: Are you that guy? The linesman I left without sense, sorry, my serve is failing and have tried to improve it, and continues this, Alyosha without thinking just said: You serve is terrible and they smiled, suddenly Mary’s father came and told her why she was not practicing and she responded saying: I totally tired, Alyosha just kept walking.
Alyosha had has some bad days since the blow and people remembered him, Alyosha began to understand while people more recognize you, you feel more alone and at that time Maria was present in his head and so he understood a part of Maria’s life.
Days later Alyosha decided to help her with the serve, something that to Maria was a trouble. He took a doll of cardboard it was the size of him. Then he mentioned how she could improve her serve. After they began to talk, meet, smiled and even accomplices glances they built. They agreed on many things, books, music, artists, they always surprised every time they knew a little more about each one, it even terrified them , sport was the closest I could relate to them.
They walked and talked many hours, Alyosha had found what he was waiting and Maria met who will change a part of her life. A new night he trying to help her with her serve, they decided to draw a mustache on cardboard doll, they could not laughing, those are spontaneous, unique and unrepeatable moments in life.
One day, Mary's father found them talking, he did not like that Mary was with Alyosha, he thought it was going to distracted her and she wouldn’t train Tennis. The day of the biggest game of Mary, Alyosha was walking when he found the cardboard doll without head and his face became very sad, when suddenly he found Mary and he mentioned what he had seen, Mary smiled and she shows the doll’s head and she told Alyosha that she liked the mustache, Alyosha with a smile on his face he hugged her and they keep walked, then when Mary had to go she kissed him.
Sometimes, you just have to trust that love will find its road; it may not be the way like you had imagined. Every day there are many stories of love, sometimes the unlikely pairing form the perfect couple.
A rainy day
ReplyDeleteI was sitting looking through the window in a cold day, those kinds of days which nobody loves, I had nothing to do and suddenly, this way got by walking, my heart almost jump out of my chest because of my emotion. It is always the same thing every time I see him. He was walking so, so slow and the rain was getting stronger little by little. Without think about it, I went out running, opened the door a yell: Hey boy, come in. Do not get wet.
He turned his face, we looked each other and our eyes met. He smiled y get in my house running. Geez, I just could not believe it. I told him my name and he told me his name. His name was Pablo, that is a beautiful name, we spent completely hours talking and talking without getting tired. He was just perfect. I could not buy that he remembered each day he had seen me, he said he always had wanted to talk to me. We liked the same things. I liked his eyes, his mouth, his teeth, his hair, his voice; I loved everything about him. Now, I cannot remember what he said, I got lost in his eyes a few minutes ago. He has no intention to kiss me; I think he has realized that just a “Hey, what’s up?” from him melts me.
All of a sudden, a sunbeam crossed the window, lighted my face up and I woke up. Damn it, I am in my room again, alone. The rain was over, and the boy I like is not there. Ha! It was just a dream. As always, dreams are better than reality.
