He walked out of campus holding his head. The throbbing headache didn't seem to go away. And all that growing noise didn't help,either. Where did it come from? He looked around. Dark,grim features on people's faces,distorted pictures,as if out of one of Goya'a murals. The Black Paintings....

The morning found him,as any other morning,taking care of the Bonsai Tree. Trimming,pruning,shaping the delicate plant,a tedious occupation made bearable,pleasant even,by the breathtaking view of the sun rising from the sea in front of his inn. It was that spectacular view that had made the...

He smelt it as she passed by him while joggng. That lemony,fresh smell that came out of her hair as she was running. The same smell that came out of her lingerie drawer,the one contained in the shampoo and lotion bottles in her bathroom cabinet. Ah! How he loved going through her...

She knelt by the river and closed her eyes. The smell of jasmine peered her nostrils and soothed her pain. She opened her eyes to the moonlight reflected on the river,to the eternal dance of light,shadow,water and darkness. She started tearing up the photos into small pieces,and watched them...

Every night he went to bed, he made the same wish. That everything would be different the next day. And every morning,when he woke up,he knew that,yet another day,his wish hadn't come true. The same breakfast,the same ride to school,the same fixed smile on his face. And then the iron door...
