The Hidden World Behind This One
Not all of us are presented with an opportunity to enter into the truly dark world that lies hidden just out of reach of what most people consider normal. It could bee 20 miles away, 100 miles away or just down the street — but I can assure you it’s there. It’s an entirely different world with rules of conduct that do not in any way whatsoever resemble the everyday world most people know.

Dame
Swept into the barn by the wind lay leaves that were christened into the engineered wood flooring. Christened into almost a pile like that of holy water in a font. He does use it to bathe and that’s the issue according to everyone. I wouldn’t let her die. Knowing what I know, you wouldn’t sweep away your barn leaves, either!

The Black book
Beep! Beep! Went the horn of the car behind me as I sat in shock completely oblivious to the traffic that surrounded me, my life was changing right before my eyes. I could not believe what was happening to me, how did I become so lucky? Why me, what did I do to deserve this? Startled by the horn I proceeded to the nearest parking lot. So many questions filled my mind I was overwhelmed with excitement but riddled with guilt at the same time. It did not belong to me, I should have turned it in I thought to myself. I should have never opened it, I would have never been this tempted the thoughts became endless I finally pulled myself together after a brief moment of many emotions. Surely that black book belonged to someone, buzz! buzz! I starred down my watch as it vibrated, the time read 7:15am.

Ask and you shall receive.
It has been a big year for me at work and I finally got the chance to take a vacation so I decided to go to Easter Island in Chile. I always wanted to see the moai. It was a wonderful sunny day and I was in front of this giant human carved rock then suddenly the sky became pitch black and then a huge dark hole opened on top of my head a mini tornado just came down in front of me and deposited a black notebook and a white and black cat. I was astonished by what just happened. I could’n believe that everyone else was not aware of what just occurred. Well I have always been a curious one and it seems like the beginning of an adventure to me. I took the book and the cat and ran to my hotel room. The receptionist looked at me with a surprised face that I was back so fast but didn’t stop to chat with her. I was back in my room 137, put the cat and the book on the desk that was in front of a window with the most beautiful view. I felt like the cat knew me somehow from somewhere, I took a look at the book that strangely I didn’t pay attention before this moment that it has my name on the front page I got goosebumps but I opened the book anyway. The next page has my birthdate on it, I keep turning the page and the next page as this words “ Ask and you shall receive” I just hears the cat whispering the same words, it scares me for a moment and falls out of my chair. I ran and locked myself in the bathroom. It took me a while to come out of my fright state. I looked at myself into the mirror and for a minute I thought I was dreaming. I slapped my face so hard that I left my hand marked on my face so obviously to me it wasn’t a fantasy. I washed my face with cold water to ease my pain and opened the door slowly, looked around and saw the cat in the same place I left him. I went back to the book and continued turning the pages but every other page was blank. The day passed fast in front of my eyes and I couldn’t think about anything else. It wasn’t the mysterious black book and this strange tuxedo cat that stares at me all the time. Well I decided to turn on the tv and there was this add off contest and the final price was twenty thousand dollar, I started to imaginate what I would do if I won that money. Suddenly the cat whispered to me “ turn the page number 3 of your book” I don’t know why but every time Mrs Tuxedo whispers to me it gives me goosebumps but this that I didn’t ran I got up off my bed and opened the third page of me personalized book and their it was in front of my eyes $ 20,000. I touched the money to see if it was real and yes it was real I jumped up and down like a kid in christmas after opening their present. But I could understand how this happened, I tried to imagine what I would do with a million dollar but this time Tuxedo didn’t whisper to me but I opened the 4 page and nothing was there. I looked at all the pages one by one to see if this book came with instruccion but nothing was blank. It was very late and I fell asleep after a long meditation about this weird situation. Next day when I woke up Tuxedo was staring at me he started by “ you want to know why the book and me are here and why your the choosing one” so I replied “ I knew you could talk why you did speak to me sooner” He said “ well I did and you ran like a chicken” Me” well you have a point” me again “ so tell me Tuxedo why you and the book came to me” And he begin to tell me “ well you see this book belong to you but to your future version, but she has made a huge mistake and dark forces are looking for her. The only way to save the book for now is to bring it to your timeline” Me “ wait what there's another me from the future how do I look like can I fly do I have super power” Tuxedo “hey calm yourself their something important you should know” Me “ I knew there always a catch in everything now what” Tuxedo "the book have some rules that you shoud get familiar with Firts rule you can only materialize money once" Me " I should kill you right now why you didn't talk to me before I turn on the tv" Tuxedo " second this book will help you whit situation in your lifr that are quite difficult and it will help people that you want to help but only those with true heart will be helped" " third, once your you from the future had fixed the situation this book and I will desapear from your life for ever until your next life" " also every thing that you do that needed the book help will have a consecuence so use this book wisely".

Under the light of the sun and the moon.
Under the light of the sun and the moon, under the glorious clouds and embraced by the gentle mountains, caressed by the softness of the grass that shakes my spirit; I find myself lying down listening to the melodious movement of the powerful air, which, in turn, is always calm. Isn't it beautiful? The shelter of the fantastic world surrounded by the wonder of the simplistic reality that surrounds our lives. Isn't it wonderful? The walk of the human being, the gait of the monkey and the mewing of the cat, the flapping of the wings of the majestic bird and the song of the owl. You only need to observe your environment, you only need to look in all directions and allow yourself to feel perplexed by the beauty of everything that lives and sleeps near us.

A New Day
This morning was different for Cora, as she walked to her second job at the neighborhood bookstore. Just a few weeks ago, her normal walking route through her neighborhood in Minneapolis was filled with familiar sounds of birds, cars, and pedestrians. Now, the streets are filled with people. People everywhere, stretched for miles. Some businesses still smoldering hot ash from fires set to them by outsiders who attempted to fuel hatred towards her community. Other businesses are mere remnants of their former selves, and now reflect the pain felt by her and so many people.

Celebration of Life
Mother always told me that your closet is not complete without a little black dress. That is what I was wearing on the very dark night that it happened. To say the night was surreal was like saying the blizzard that was raging outside was a snow flurry. Working as a waitress in a diner prepares one for dealing with all types of people and situations. Tonight, I felt I was in a five-star Michelin restaurant where the chef decided to serve fast food burgers and cold French fries to billionaires.

Scavengery
Elizabeth examines her sallow complexion in her bathroom mirror, “Vitamin D deficiency and I’m out of toilet paper,” then wraps two bandanas around her face, covers her eyes with dark sunglasses and slips on a pair of yellow rubber cleaning gloves, “Safe, so far.”

Verity
Her own audible sigh is the only human voice she is used to hearing anymore outside of her office building. Anne is lonely. As she unpacks yet another box this thought hits her like finally remembering the word that is on the tip of your tongue. “I’m lonely.” She says out loud. She is not sure how this thought actually makes her feel. It is true, but what else is it? Sad, annoying, empty? 'Well, this is getting dark,' she thinks as she dumps the pile in her hands back into the box she is working on and gets up to make some tea.
