Final round: vote!

 Geek Love
“ I-I lo-love you, Amy”, I whispered. I couldn’t belive in my own words, I was declaring my love. I’ve always avoided people. But it was something about her. Love. It never meant anything to me but a stupid feeling. Genius don’t fall in love. But there I was telling her these words. Praying for her to say it back, “I love you, too, Sheldon”. I knew nothing about love, and she showed me the most important thing that I could’ve learned: it’s a feeling, not a subject, the most beautiful and magical of them, and I learned it from her.



 The Power of the Apple
“She deserves to die. After all, I am prettier than her." The Queen thought. "Magic mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?". Poor mirror, broken into pieces at the moment it said "Snow White". But the Queen would get her revenge. She hired the only man in the whole world who could poison that apple. And so he did, and they both got what they wanted. Snow White was gone and unexpectedly, the Queen and the man fell in love. Steve Jobs and the Queen got married, named their kingdom “Apple” and lived happily ever after.

Thriller
A little girl was sat closer to a lake. She was dressing a gray dress and she had a mysterious look. It was around midnight and then she stood up and started walking in lake direction. The water was pretty quiet, but suddenly began bubbling and a hole appeared in the lake. The girl disappeared into the hole. Then a boy begins crying, the mother comes and turn the tv off - thriller movies are too strong to a 9 years boy - She takes the boy in her arms and bring to his room. - Good night son -

The Breathtaking Morning
From the time Angélica woke up, she knew something was wrong. The kids were too quiet and Luciano wasn’t there. As she went down the stairs, she got more frightened. The lights were off but she could hear strange noises coming from the living room. She glanced at the kitchen’s clock. It was 7 am, which could only mean one thing: there were burglars in the house! “Has my family been hurt?!” Just as she dialed 911, her dad rushed through the door and everybody yelled: “Surprise!”. Since it was her birthday, her loving ones had prepared a special breakfast.

Deep Wet Fire
“HOLY SHIT!” someone screamed. That was the third victim of the day. Suddenly, there were nearly a dozen cases like that in only one week during the summer: people went to the sea, and when they returned to land, they had several burns in their skin. But the most recent victim saw something. Ian Gillan was swimming when he felt something nearby in the water, and saw what he thought it might be a fin. Ian said that the only thing he saw after that was smoke on the water. Nobody never found out anything about that fire spitting shark.

Mistake
Paul Sheldon is inside his car. While passing through a boulevard he sees a woman fighting a man. He runs over to save her. He punches the other man’s face, who says “You will regret this”. “Thank you for saving me. I’m Annie, would you like to come over to my place?” They smile at each other and then go to her house. She brings him a drink. They are talking about life when Paul starts to feel dizzy and collapses. Annie laughs and says: “You should have listened to that man, because now you are really going to regret saving me”.

Alice in snowland



It was Christmas. The streets were covered in snow. Alice was singing when she saw something hopping towards her. "Follow me" said the rabbit and she did. Church bells were ringing, like there was a funeral somewhere near. She got home and saw her family gathered together. "The bells. It's time to go to Alice's funeral" someone said. Suddenly, everything became dark. There only was a colorful umbrella. Its colors soon turned into a rainbow followed by a bright light. “Alice, wake up” her sister opened the curtains, revealing the brightest sun in the sky, and Alice saw the umbrella by the Christmas tree.
