A Journey of Two Worlds: London and the Life I Left Behind

Florencia Menna

Submitted to Contest #293

The bus to Ezeiza, Buenos Aires airport, left at 1:15 a.m. My brother drove me to the bus terminal, and there, to my surprise, my friend Mirta was waiting for me with a smile and open arms. Her warmth and the last laughs we shared before my departure tempered the excitement of my departure. She shouted to the other passengers, "This is my friend Florencia, and she's going to live in England!" as she took one last souvenir photo. I had four hours of travel to reflect on whether I was making the right decision. Despite having the heater on, th...

Sublime Garden

Submitted to Contest #112

Sublime Garden is a small town where, years ago, everything was beautiful and opulence. It was the envy of the nearby towns since everything there seemed to grow magically.

The meadows had a brilliant green that when it rained, its color became even more intense and when the soft grass moved the wind, it looked like an ocean with its waves.Vegetables grew everywhere and the animals looked overflowing, healthy.

The ugly duckling of history

Florencia Menna

Submitted to Contest #93

We will have a cousin reunion! Victoria said, my cousin and godmother who lived for many years in Spain and now, after her second divorce and being a grandmother, she had returned to live in Argentina. She had always been the organizer (and a bit bossy) in everything and with everyone. I hardly knew her because she left when I was just my first year, but she always wrote us letters or sent the odd gift. This meeting, from the beginning was not very welcome since some of the cousins had to mobilize from another province for the meeting a...
