I INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE MICRO-STORY COMPETITION
Part Two: "A Grand Finale"
ADULT CATEGORY – IN SPANISH:
ALL THIS HAPPENED, MORE OR LESS.
8 .Of mine only I am missing. But I will go without pain or discomfort, just chiseled by life with the imprint of love.
9. I was left alone and not knowing what to do. Lonely in the middle of the night, unaware of the mysteries he hid in the unfathomable darkness of him.
10. The day expired sinking into a deep silence: it was the silence of the sea and the land, of the cosmos, a silence incapable of being altered.
11. I got off the platform with all my possessions (a simple suitcase). What will the future hold for me? For now uncertainty. May fate guide me!
12. He put aside vengeance, the eternal eye for an eye. She forgot the past and shook the hand of forgiveness. Then her soul was filled with peace.
13. Who said: “human happiness is not lasting”? Let's get rid of the ego and take love as a flag. Let's spread peace beyond borders.
14. From the past I keep the best memories; I live the present fully. And the future? The future is inscrutable, known only to God.
15. And I say "more or less" not to tell you the truth: that it happened only in my head. If I had told you earlier, you wouldn't have listened to me.
ADULT CATEGORY – IN ENGLISH:
IF YOU SURRENDERED TO THE AIR, YOU COULD RIDE IT.
3.Really? Could ya? 'Cause I sure don't think so. Oh, I see, you call that being “poetic”. Well I call it being “pretentious”. Who's with me?
CHILDREN/JUVENILE CATEGORY – IN SPANISH:
FOR ABOUT TEN SECONDS, NO ONE MOVED.
CHILDREN/JUVENILE CATEGORY – IN ENGLISH:
IT WAS ALMOST DECEMBER, AND JONAS WAS BEGINNING TO BE FRIGHTENED.
