The house of void

Luiz Felipe Martins

- The room is so unfamiliar to me, I don’t know how I got here. - You are where you must be. A dark figure responded to Lewis’s concern with the most sharp and contemptful voice. They were in front of each other, breathing audibly among some wrinkled clothes, but there was no color nor light present inside the cramped wardrobe. All of that seemed off, unfamiliar… and familiar at the same time. Lewis knew deep inside he was where he should be. Just a dream? A terrible nightmare he was getting used to? It was so strange to think about anything...

A hard family's day

Luiz Felipe Martins

I can’t stop, if I stop this man escapes, and if he escapes, God knows if I’ll die or he’s just a psychopath looking for random people to kill. Everything started when I was leaving the alley nearby my old school, which now is closed and vandalized. As I was by myself waiting for that sour ammonia smell to go away, the reflection of my cell phone screen revealed a hooded guy, walking with light steps. I was totally alert but it was when he pulled his hands from his pockets with a dripping syringe that I could really act. First, a block with ...

The twinkle lights don't work anymore

Luiz Felipe Martins

Peter parked his car in front of the lightless house, his fingers slid carefully over the keys and rested on the steering wheel. While a lonely rose lay down next to him on the passenger seat, wrapped in plastic, his head was like a medieval statue, facing the horizon of immensity with digression. But there was nowhere to go, wherever he looked, the darkness of the night looked back, and it was enough for him to live with that. It was Christmas night. A few flashing lights made the street look like a post-apocalyptic scene without power, but...

Christmas in paranoia

Luiz Felipe Martins

First thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was how cold the room was. A simple breath of mine produced a little current of white air. My legs were destroyed, my mouth asked for water incessantly, and during the full minute I stayed in bed, I knew that this was the smallest of the problems. When my feet touched the carpet I had a headache worthy of a professional drunkard, a typical unusual thing that doesn’t happen to me so often, but it happens. The way downstairs was a wild crossing, but it revealed to me that my mother always had a littl...

Letters that cure

Luiz Felipe Martins

Enormous yellow, green and red rings intertwined in the entrance of the university, tens of people walking with different tones of skin colors, bushes better trimmed than an aristocrat's beard and red walls that holded a real fortress of wisdom and knowledge. Jimmy had an intense morning of a road trip from his friend’s house to his new home, where studies and shelter are side by side. Guided by the bright sun, he walked towards his new roommates. It was a lovely tour through the campus and his accommodations. Jimmy documented the minimum de...

I ARRIVED ON TIME

Luiz Felipe Martins

The sun was obstructed by skyscrapers that emitted tiny beams of light from their glossy windows. Horns in the streets around polluted the air more than the dense fog, but the reinvention body’s building was unaware of the city chaos. Darryl had to walk for ten minutes until he reached what looked like an alley; only two old-fashioned cars parked, full garbage dumpsters and some dogs gnawing on bones at the end of the street. The man had no time to waste judging the landscape or the futuristic aspects of the waiting room. He went straight to...

A CHRISTMAS FLIRT

Luiz Felipe Martins

Jane was paralyzed when the walls of her university rose up before her, in all their glory and mythical vibe of Hogwarts. Melissa had told her how incredible people were there, how they were happy and respectful, and that Christmas was the best part of the year: snow, food and students who wanted to love without longing for anything in exchange, something that was way more difficult to get throughout the year. She rolled down her shirt sleeve to cover the purple marks on her arm and entered the building, Mel would be waiting for her in the e...

WHEN THE LIGHTS TURN OFF

Luiz Felipe Martins

My name is Tom, I live in a pretty safe town where most of the neighborhoods are constituted by people of different colors and races, hobbies, shapes, sizes but it seems like everyone likes each other. At least in my circle of friends and in my family meetings, there’s no unnecessary gossip, we don’t have anything bad to say about our acquaintances, but they do have many good things to say about us. My mom and dad have the tradition to host a Christmas celebration at our house every year. After the morning cult in the church, everyone knows ...

WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO?

Luiz Felipe Martins

- Where did our love go? - Phillip asked calmly, contemplating the mud in front of his shoes. -... Don't do it, it's such a cruel question to ask me, and you know it. - Cruel? - he let out an airy laugh - I think I didn't tell you this... I lost 4 kilos in the last month, my mom thought it was the college and threatened me by saying that I needed to drop my studies or I would end up dead. She could barely know love did it to me, real love. If I had received at least one answer, I might had been much better. So I ask you once again, Lucy, and...
