314 - The strongest.

A long time ago, the outer space was full of comets, which were divided in two big teams, the leaders of each teams were the strongest comet of them, which were praised by the other comets.

One day, to see which of the two leaders comets were the strongest, they decided to attack the planet Earth, even though they knew it was very dangerous, they agreed that the comet which could cause more damage at crashing against the planet, and come back to the outer space would be the strongest comet.

So the two comets, very excited about the challenge, and motivated by their peers comets,  ran at high speed  towards the planet Earth, and when they started to trespass the atmosphere layers they started to erode, leaving a trace of dust in the air behind them, so when the crashed against the Earth, they were not bigger than a nut.

Meanwhile, in the outer space, the rest of the comets saw, very disappointed, how their two leaders had lost the challenge, and they went back to their regular life as if nothing had happened.

305 - Stereotypes.

While I was sitting on the back of the bus, I started to watch the people around me, whom, maybe, would be going home just like me, then I started to wonder about what they were thinking, so I created all this hypothesis in my mind according to their physical appearance:
"That smiley fat girl must be thinking about hamburgers an cake."
"That black guy must be waiting for the right time to rob us."
So I did, with all the passenger on the bus, and now I think that if I would had  been able to watched myself in that moment, I would've thought: "And that quite guy, who looks so shy and lonely, must be thinking about withdrawing the gun he has in his pocket, kill us all and then kill himself."

Once a year, all those decapitated heads with candles inside of them lighted his path, which was always full of horrible monsters carrying bags of candies.

That was the only day he felt alive, because even though he was afraid of the monsters, he felt guided by the heads, and didn't feel he was lost nor was loosely wandering between worlds.

Here it comes my friend George, it's so good to see him with an smile on his face, It's been ages since I last saw him smile, since his depression attacked him, I think, I'll say hi to him:

"Hey, George!"
"Hi!!!"
"How are you?"
"Fine, I'm doing fine, you?"
"I'm great! I just noticed you were smiling, I'm so glad to see that you are a little happier than before, you know, because of your sickness and stuff, I thought I'd never see you smile and happy again."
"Thanks buddy! And you know what? I promise you that you'll never see me sad nor depressed again."
"Awesome! It's so good that you have such a positive attitude, so you better keep your word, uh?"
"Of course! You know I am a man who keeps his promises. Oh my god! Look at the time! I'm sorry but I gotta run, I have something very important that I gotta do."
"Mkay, George, It was good to see you this happy."
"Thanks man! Bye!"

I am so glad George is getting better, but I still don't understand why such an intelligent man like him had to suffer so much due to a stupid illness.

I cannot believe George is dead! I saw him yesterday and he was doing so good! Could it be that the very important  thing he had to do was  that? But... but how I could not notice what he was planning to do? He looked so well!! Goddammit!!!!
