Ultraviolet

In a city covered in shadows and marble facades, where the nights seemed longer than the day, lived Leandro, a young poet who knew the weight of love and the pain of mysteries never revealed. He was a man who saw the world in a unique way, as if ordinary colors were just the veil of something more intense, a frequency invisible to most.

On the night of a masked ball, Leandro met Amara, a woman whose presence emanated a particular glow, as if woven by rays of a light that no one else could see. They danced amid the masks and the murmurs of the crowd, and as he touched her, Leandro felt himself hit by a wave of heat and ecstasy that left him blind to everything except her face. And in her eyes, he saw something he had never experienced before: a light beyond light, an aura that only he seemed to capture—a kind of ultraviolet glow, beautiful and untouchable.

In the days that followed, Leandro became obsessed with Amara. Every poem, every word he wrote, was for her. But Amara had a dark secret: she was not of this world, and her glow, her ultraviolet essence, could only be seen by those who stood on the edge of the veil between life and death. In an enigmatic whisper, she revealed to him that her soul existed on a threshold where passion merged with eternity—and that, by desiring her, he risked losing himself in that limbo.

Leandro, overcome by an insatiable passion, ignored the warning and, on a moonlit night, followed her to the river, where she disappeared beneath the waters. That night, he crossed the same threshold, surrendering himself to the destiny she had imposed on him, and together, they were absorbed by the invisible glow that enveloped them. Since then, it has been said that whoever wanders along the banks of that river, under the light of the stars, can feel a presence that shines beyond comprehension, an eternal love—an ultraviolet love.
