Martin was walking calmly in the crowd of people. He knew that any unprecedented or suspiciously quick movement could give him away. He imagined that he was going home from work, tired after the whole day, hoping to find some rest on the sofa but at the same time worried that he will be flooded by the tasks at home. With this picture in his mind, he could easy adopt the right mindset, the right speed and the right expression, so that he would blend in and people would never suspect anything. Being able to pickpocket successfully always depen...
John was walking along the street, feeling that he was right where he was supposed to be. His belonging to the time and situation was almost tangible. He had left work about an hour ago and was walking in his half elegant, half sportive shirt enjoying the sun rays falling lightly onto his arms and face. It was a cool summer when the temperature didn't get over 25 degrees and you could walk rather briskly without sweating or feeling uncomfortable. He noticed the green trees and pigeons flying in the air. Normally, he didn't like pigeons ...
Her face fell in her hands and she could feel the dry skin of her cheeks and forehead. It hasn't always been so dry. The local weather, her lifestyle or maybe the state of her soul have changed it. Her hands smelled of soap and her eyes rested for a little while finding some comfort hidden from the rest of the world and she became strangely aware of how the eyelid muscles relaxed.

With my heart pounding I check the phone. It is 10am. I let the head fall on the pillow again and try to straighten my thoughts before I start panicking. “It is not as bad as it might seem. I will not manage to clean the apartment, but well, it hasn’t been cleaned for a fortnight, so one more day is not going to make much difference. If I leave before midday, I will still manage ...

“It is her. She is the girl that I will marry. I have been dreaming about her forever and finally she has come. She is beautiful, intelligent, kind, funny ...” Peter knew that he would have to wait for about thirty minutes before George would need to breathe in and would provide a tiny niche for someone else to participate in the conversation. There came the moment. The question had formed itself his mind about five minutes ago and he couldn’t keep it down anymore. “And will you give her the same ring that you wanted to give to Bia...

“Life is difficult. Sometimes you just aren’t in the right place. Leila was there and she understood me. She also didn’t want to separate from her husband. But we were really good together. We just enjoyed the time together.”“Dad, what? Are you telling me you were unfaithful to Mom?”“Yes. Sometimes it happens. She was unfaithful to me too.”“And you knew?”“Everything at the end gets revealed. She told me.”“And you told her too?”“I did and we agreed that we wouldn’t make drama out of it.”Joao was shocked by his father’s frankness and mainly ju...

Katherine could hear her mother screaming in the other room and knew that she must have done something wrong. It was always her who was to blame. Katherine was only 12, but she had passed through this very often. For a second she froze but before she managed to hide under her table where was her safe place, her mother had entered.“What are you doing?” An angry question that never needed a real answer. Her mother didn’t want to know what she was doing anyway. There was the evil green creature in her again. Katherine could almost see its featu...
