Honesty’s a fool

Eva was running after that man so fast, as if her life depended on that. “Can you stop running for a second?” She shouted.
But he didn’t even look back. She kept trying. But that man ran as fast as a jaguar. Suddenly, she found herself in a dark and empty corridor. The man finally stopped, Eva shivered from head to toe. The man turned and it was no longer human. He transformed into a terrible monster that looked like a wolf and said: “What do you want?”. Eva answered crying: “Your wallet fell from your pocket, Sir...”

Blood Relations

A long time ago the lords had been command our Kingdom. They are the face of shadow. But now the conspiracy against the actual king is about to win. Walter set the bomb in the cushion and gave it to the royal servant who helps us. It all is planned; when the king sit on his armchair, the bomb will explode and reduce him into dust. The seconds pass slowly. Each ticking of the clock are the sighs of the revolution. My burnt heart waits to this moment for a long time. But if it does not work? If someone betrayed us? It can be our elimination. I had run to research the black list, but I found no names. 5 minutes more and the revenge will occur. A revenge for all the years we spent in jail, me and my comrades, but also for my wife...
The explosion resounded, I entered the room, saw the men who was dying and said to him “long time no see... brother. Remember the last time, remember the 5th March...”
