”The shipment has been stored as you have instructed us in the past. The salt crystals were placed in the most visible area of the boxes, that is, on the upper part of these, and the money was placed in its hidden compartments. In addition, I sent a couple of men to patrol the vicinity of the carriage to ensure …
25. The Merchant
”Do not worry about anything, my Great Lord. After all, I, your faithful servant, could never fail to comply with your request. It is impossible. It is totally impossible for me not to give maximum effort to get whatever you ask of me. If I did not have it in stock, I would send requests to trading houses in other …
24. The Visitor (2)
”Chomp; Chomp; Chomp…” Smooth and lean meat, so soft that it melts on my palate with just one bite, creating an explosion of flavors in which the rock salt with which it has been seasoned stands out. In addition, the water with which it has been prepared, one that flows from who knows where since I have not joined the …
23. The Visitor
”One, two; One, two; One, two…” As always, I find it amazing how resilient this body is… no, you know what? I must stop doing this, as creating a line that separates my soul from my body, as if the two were two distinct existences, could take its toll on me over time. Tinny could come back to life inside …
22. The Outside World
It feels so good to know that all I have done so far has not been in vain, that my arduous efforts in enduring the shame and overcoming the shyness with which I lived most of my past life have not been completely ignored, as these, unbeknownst to me, gradually made a favorable impression on the women of the place, …
21. One Step at a Time (3)
”Yaaawn…!” ”Slap!” ”Thump…!” ”Thud!; Ow…!” ”Hahaha…!” ‘I see that today they woke up more energetic and boisterous than usual’ Sitting in the corner of the crib, I watched the babies, nay, the children, go about their daily antics. … Children? Are they really children? That is something I’m not quite sure about since, to my eyes, they look more like …
20. One Step at a Time (2)
Liars. It has been a week since I was reborn, and thanks to that time, plus other small events that have also helped, my control over this body has improved a lot. Of course, actions like standing up or even sitting up in the crib are beyond my capabilities, but at least I can now scratch the itch on my …
19. One Step at a Time
The documentaries I used to watch when I was young on television were correct in saying that the human being is the one who possesses the highest degree of adaptation in the entire animal kingdom. After all, even I, someone who apparently cannot act without hesitation, thought, and fear, opened my eyes immediately upon awakening. Well, although I didn’t do …
18. The Experiment
A door reveals itself, separating the atmosphere of two worlds. On one side, darkness, but on the other, as you pass through the frame that holds it, a pink light greets cordially, while its warm glow, which induces sleep, shows the immediate vicinity of the place. A room is observed that, on both sides, has in its interior two enormous …
17. The Body (2)
‘… Hmm… wow, so I’ve woken up…’ I thought that my life was something like that of a symbiote, that I depended entirely on Tinny to live or die, because considering that since my birth, I have kept a short distance from him, that seemed to be the most logical thing. However, it appears that I was wrong. ‘…’ No, …
