Submitted to Contest #41

The animal certainly had no name.It was chubby, brownish and furry.Was it a dog.That is the problem, because it was not a dog, as I got mistaken about his origin, because he was not a real dog, or, let me say, I thought it was.But it was more than that.U called it a devil.Yes, dear reader, you will give the reason when I explain this story.At the beginning of the writing process, the so called dog, was still sleeping.After four and a half tablets of valerian pills, correctly dissolved in four and a half glasses of water, according to th...

The first warm rays of the day were getting ready to clear the celestial firmament still twinkling diamonds to chase away the frost that slowly moistened the fresh grass of the announced morning.He traversed his shadows to the blossoming trees.Soon the man - a lord! - soft-mannered and honey-sweet looking, wearing a corduroy outfit - always smelling of olive oil! - and he will invariably remove the padlock from the stable gate carrying his smile extended from plump ear to plump ear, erasing the detail of his aquiline nose.Undeterred, he gree...

“Mommy” by Sandra Claros

Submitted to Contest #41

I remember that morning .The snow was covering the land with its beautiful  transparent ice stones.Those tall  pine and eucalyptus trees, along with the roofs of every single house of that steep little  prarie were also painted in that white.From the window of the kitchen of our two-floor house, we could appreciate the barn, with some ten or twelve chickens, two cows, the crops and an always absent cat.- Mom ¡ Have you seen Bill ¿ - I asked my mom, knowing beforehand the answer...

 - - You wash the tomatoes with a brush – the wrinkled - greyed hair woman said to a chubby young man who was accompanying her.- Toothbrush? – he asked, smiling at her. - No! It can’t be a toothbrush if it is not one used just for fruits and vegetables. - and peel some tomatoes disinfect some lettuce leaves together with some onion rings.
