Tiny, forgotten, god

A god? Imagine you’re diving into the water. First, you start a quick, constant descent that makes even the stones turn their necks in envy. The air will leave your lungs, followed by the blood, which changes into a gleaming blue color. One by one, even your lightest thoughts...

How can wine smell like a storm?

A wine called Airen Simon watches over his head, to the clouds reflecting down in his goat milk when a dark shadow appears in his glass; a reflection, so similar to the shape of a big fly, swimming in that small ocean of milk. Simon covers his eyes from...

Water and wine

Wine is composed of 80-90% of water. When watching a wine glass, think that that is the final result of rains or irrigation (mainly in arid areas). In short, wine it's primarily made of water, linked by the roots up to the leaves. These, mixed with sun and nutrients...

Wooden splinter and a cat

They call him the cat Each step is a key for heels. When you go down the stairs, the steps seem all the same. It doesn’t matter if your legs are long or short. What really matters is the rhythm. 33,34, 35. <<Right, here we are.>> You’re never at...

The city

A city for monsters Right, in theory, an advertisement like that was supposed to raise some suspicion. To tell the truth, in the city there were 15 buildings about 70 floors tall, but among them you’d choose only three to live in. And anyway, you’d never moved there without...

The job of a souls’ dealer

What a job! “Why did you choose the oddest job, between all jobs?” They call it a job! You have a job when you knead the bread, make sausages, produce some cheese, or sell and buy something. Working has a sense only if you wake up angry and tired.  Weighting...
