LEFTOVER OF GHOST The almost wide and well light room ____besides the window on a wall there was a window on the ceiling___was furnished with a bookcase, with a wardrobe, with a bench. At the desk, in front of the window, Dora usually sit to do her school homework, and also to draw. When her schoolmates and her friends came to see her, it was in this room that she spent time talking with them. A room with nothing special, with white walls and worn floor tiles. The house where Dora lived with her parents an...

THE MURDERED APPLE_____MURDER WITH APPLE “ But look, it seems this apple has been stabbed” Mark tells me, showing an apple, which he has picked up from the ground. In the apple, a Plumpgum apple, full, so pot bellied that it looks like the apple is about to burst, a knife blade is stuck. Mark tries to extract the knife from the belly of the apple, but he doesn’t succeed in it. The blade is so deeply stuck, indeed sunk into the apple, as if it were gotten stuck into the apple. Mark and I came picking apples in Harold’...
YELLOW LEAVES I walked a long time after I came out home. I started my walk towards….I did not knew where, passing through the park. Walking across the park, I felt the grass still damp under my feet, but I should say under my shoes. Feeling the grass you step on, walking on it___and your feet are inside your shoes___(feeling the grass) damp, wet, still drenched in rain, it is a sensation which I have never been able to explain myself, since I have always worn waterproof shoes. After leaving the park I walke...

Joan was forty years old and that was her first pregnancy, which had not caused her partcular inconveniences. The birth, instead, was complicated. After three days of labour it was decided that the baby would be born with a caesarian section. Joan knew that the newborn would be a little boy, so she had already chosen the name for him: David. It was when the baby was about to be extracted from her belly, and she, exhausted by the long labour, was feeling more dead than alive, that she had that...that kind of vision. On a white page, as lar...
I'm here, curled up on my knees, keeping on looking at the two halves of the shell which I'm holding in my hands, turning them under my nose. They are intact. I put the two halves very close, side by side, as if to reattach them. The walnut kernel is gone, but the one in my hands still looks like a walnut, an intact walnut. My kitty comes close me, he stretches his snut over my hands, sniffing the nutshell. " What do you say, darling? Doesn't it seem that this is an intact walnut? And instead it is only a walnut shell. Inside the shell there...

+ THE WANDERING DOLL When she was about sixteen, her mother had started to say: “ But what now do you do of all those toys piled up in the cellar ( under the stairs) Now you’re a girl….” Indeed her mother had said: “ Now you’re grown up” And Sara had felt her heart trembling at those words. How? At not yet sixteen, would she already be an adult? “ You should give them to your cousins, who are still children.” And her mother had come back a lot of times to the matter, pressing her to giv...

For reedsy 2. THE BLOODY FOOTPRINT____by Mara Masolini A woman, all disheveled, her face scratched, a woman without arms, sunk, rather than sitting, into one hole of that kind of lava haze which is all that remains of what the earth was, she, spitting saliva, was barking that the sun had fallen on the earth, that is why the catastrophe, the hecatomb which destroyed animals, plants , buildings, and which exterminated much of the human race. Indeed it exterminated most of the humans, but, it seems, not all...
