"I'm sorry. I just wanted to thank you, I imagine you've been taking care of me all this time,” I said with the greatest sincerity that I could show.
The girl’s expression suddenly changed. She looked surprised.
"Ahem, my name is Victoria." She said. Then she slowly was approaching me, and she looked at me in a very strange way.
“Are you really a soldier? I had the impression that you were all the same.” She said.
"Clumsy and shy?"
She let out a smile but then looked back at me with intrigue.
"Violent and stubborn. However, you seem quite submissive but a good person."
"Submissive," She said. That word made me remember something. My head started to hurt very intensely as if my temples were pounded over and over again. I put my hand on my forehead, trying to block the light a bit.
"Does your head hurt?" She asked.
I nodded without saying anything. Then she said, "Wait for me, and I’ll bring y
My eyes could not believe it, and there was Simurd on that threshold. I thought It had been years since I had last seen him, so how could I walk towards him and hug him. He could only respond to the hug with one arm, which was held with a sling."Sergeant." He said as he stepped away from me a bit, then saluted me. I looked at him for a few seconds, then I smiled and saluted back.“So formal, Corporal. Come, let's sit down, Cony. Could you give us a few minutes?" She still wouldn't take her eyes off Simurd nodded and left the room.“What a cutie. Did you try something with her?" I sighed as he asked.“I already knew, hahaha, good Richard ‘no fuck’ attacks again. I'm sure if you try hard, you will achieve it." He said."It's easy for you, the girls hardly see you, and you draw their attention," I replied.Simurd was a tall man with good-looking green eyes, and to everyone's surprise, it was impossible for us to h
"Shhh."“Although this is most suspicious, I am on your side. I should not do this, but be aware and very careful Sergeant, the walls have ears, and for now, I'll just tell you to trust your closest friends." She said.With that, she just gave me a smile and went back to hiding behind the sheet that separated my cubicle from the other.Things just seem to be getting better, I thought.I woke up again in the same desert as before. When I got up from the sand, I could see a campfire. Elein was sitting staring at it."So you woke up already sleepy," Elein said."I guess I've had better days," I replied.The woman grabbed a stick and stirred the burned branches in the fire."Hahahaha, that's true. How long have we known each other, huh Richi?" Elein asked."15 years maybe, maybe a little longer," I answered."Yes, it has been a long time," She said. When I saw her, I could not imagine her as a girl who only was
I saw the doctor without knowing precisely what was happening, and then I remembered the words of Elisabeth. I couldn't trust this man, but I didn't have much choice either."I know I ask a lot of you, Richard, but I need you to get out of this place alive." He said, but before I could answer, he continued, "There is an operation under the ropes that tries to get you out of the road. I don't know who you have bothered, but they want you dead."The only name that came to mind was Julios.“I have someone in mind. How do you expect me to get out of here in a robe?" I asked."Do not worry. Elisabeth."The sheet covering the cubicle fell away, revealing an entire base of operations to the other side. Elizabeth was carrying a commando suit.“Everything is ready, Matías. How are you, Richard?” Elisabeth said as she held up a suit."With this, you will be almost ready for the occasion, handsome." She said as she winke
We were on the first floor, and we progressed little by little. We took shelter behind some columns. We could see the exit door, but there were several men in black robes with turbans over their faces."Well, well, the Squad of six had already set their eyes on you, my dear Richard."That voice was familiar to me, and it was the voice of a man whom I had always admired and had supported me after the loss of Elein."Colonel Alberd?" I said as I unconsciously stepped out of the column, but right at that instant, I felt Matías pulling me back to the column by the arm."Quiet Richard. That man is dangerous." Matias said.“I must apologize. My boys are not as good at talking as they are shooting."I could feel the bullets starting to rain in our direction.The shooting stopped."I apologize for hurting you."I took a deep breath while looking at one of the corridors that were near us. I could see how a shadow app
It had been several years since I had left home, but again things had been twisted at home.When getting off the plane, I felt again the so characteristic climate of this place, always dry and with an insatiable sun. I’m home again.As I approached the migration agent, I could see that the place apparently was still exactly the same as before, so I looked ahead and could see how the guard called me with his hand.“Welcome…”“Josh... Josh Rodriguez.”"Welcome, Josh Rodríguez. What brings you to the country?” He said as he extended one of his arms out to me, it was a very frequent routine.“Here it is.” I submitted part of my personal documentation. “I would say that I am rather an on Return,” I said while showing my most forced smile.After finishing some paperwork, I made it out to the parking lot. According to Frank, he would come to pick me up. It had been fou
When I opened the door, I could feel the old scents, the fights, as well as the fights with dad being drunk.“Who’s there?” I could hear in the background while the cheap whiskey smell went into the nose.“It’s me, dad.”“Joshy?” I could hear how things fell in the background, I closed the door, and little by little, I went closer to the room. I could see my father trying to lift off the ground between many garbage bags, as well as many bottles of various alcohols.I remembered the times I had to help dad walk to the room. I felt like those memories weighed on my chest.Slowly dodging the garbage, I got closer to Dad, put a hand on his shoulder while my other handheld his arm.“I’m back.” I could see how dad looked at me with great sadness while leaning on me to get up. When he finally got to his feet, he lunged at me, hugging me with the little strength he had left. “Jo
I was at the bus stop. In the distance, I could see how Frank was walking, but the funny thing is that he came with another girl, although... it seemed slightly familiar.“Come here, big boy.” Frank came over to me and gave me a big hug.“Hi, Frank... let me go. I can’t breathe.”“Oh, sorry.” When I caught my breath, I got a closer look at the girl.A fair-skinned girl, with short black hair and brown eyes, for a moment, I was distracted by the image of her. Suddenly Frank was between her and me.“Ahem, you may not remember her, but she is-”“I can introduce myself Frank, nice to meet Josh. I’m Marcy.” She said as she made Frank a sided as she extended her hand to me.Slowly I was extending my hand to hers, without thinking much closer her hand to mine until she clasped it tightly.“Yes... a pleasure,” I said, between nervous and scared. I had n
I just sighed and decided to get out of there. He needed to breathe some fresh air. Upon leaving, I could see that the night was beginning to cover the sky.“You don’t like slow movies, Josh?” I was a little startled. I hadn’t noticed Marcy’s presence. Seeing her with melancholic eyes, I calmed down. I approached her and looked up at the night sky.“I guess Stuart’s charm didn’t dazzle us.” I chuckled.“Yes... Can I ask you a question?”“An answer.” She looked at me uneasily. She seemed to be deliberating what would be the exact words for the occasion.“Why did you come back? Frank… he told me that your relationship with your dad is not the best.” I looked at her suspiciously. On her part, she tried to put the most sincere look so that I would not be contained, and apparently, she really wanted to know the reason for my actions.“Because we
