Once... in a big city...lived a little girl who was afraid of every thing and everyone. Her big darkened eyes were always alert for any (un)usual thing. Every simple thing was a big; tremendous problem to her, even go out to buy grousers or even to take a bath, lunch, brush her hair,... Well, in the end, she was petrified of doing anything. She grew up to become a fair young woman, although she hadn't left her childish fear of everything. Surprisingly, she had found a way (don't ask me how) to live a "decent & normal" life as she was relatively successful in her professional life and home life. She was lonely though, as that "way" off disguise her wasn't strong enough to mask her terror for men... and women. Life of this scared girl continue without no unusual thing besides of her usual fears.
One day, because of her job, she had to travel to a very far away place. In another country, in another continent... (to her was the same as another planet or even universe). She was afraid, petrified, terrified for the idea (as expected). Then came the day, the D day, and the girl was white as a dead body. She was shaking, she was having almost a hearth attack and yes she was in panic. When she gain conscious of her self again she was already sited tightly and the plain was about to lift.
The journey was going "well" with her sleeping (can you belive that?!), when something went terribly wrong. The plain crashed, suddenly, without warning, leaving in the impact zone dozens, hundreds of lifeless corpses. In the middle of all that horror was She laing with her bely to the sky, immobilized , in peace.
Then with a blink of eyes, she stood up. She then had a strange and new looking on her eyes. She escaped from almost certain death! She wasn't hurt, not even with a scratch. How could this be?? Lucky?? Divine intervention?? What ever was, she was alive when she was spoused to be dead. Then she saw, that all those years of her scary life, was waisted and now if she had died... yeah if she had died she would never fulfill his wishes.
From that moment on, she faced her fears, step by step, until she was brave enough to jump from rooftop to rooftop. During that time she felted completely free, she started makeup her self, doing shopping,... From a fair and scared woman, arisen a completely new and exuberant woman full off life and feminism to share. She felted so happy, so light headed that she laugh for anything, without care for what the other people might think of her.
She was with such confidence in her self that she would do anything.
Weeks passed by, has the charming new woman was living paradise, when she went to the church to pray for the god (she thought that the most logical explanation for her survival was a divine intervention... what ever) and she noticed that there was a funeral. As she was a good citizen, she approach to feel sorry for the family, also to see the face of the corpse.
She stopped friezed, shocked, as the corpse was her own, staring at her. Smiling.

Wolf Boy

Once... not long ago... in a distant land, one new born child was left in the middle of the immaculate and dim forest. The reason for that unthinking act (if it was through the eyes of the Nature) was that this child had an horrible and ugly face, as it had a strangely animal body aspect. So it was... the poor and execrable child should had met his fate, when a pack of hungry wolfs went there to take him away to the darkness.
Weeks had passed, months... and even years... and the humanity continue his life without knowledge of what had happened. Until, one summer day, when a team of biologists decided to follow the wolfs to better understand them (same useless story if you ask me). Why, the most fortune (or not) and the most coincidence, to find that in the target pack there was one element that was strangely abnormal. They soon capture that experiment. It was some kind of a bald, four legged animal, with some fur in the head, face and across the entire body. They spend some minutes to examine the mutant "thing", that same thing that was running, jumping with an inhuman agility around the cage. They finally concluded that it was a human being (can you believe that?!)!!
The news spread globally in a few hours, thanks to the power of communication. Every person willing to see the news in the TV or radio or even in the newspaper, stood shocked by the figure of that detestable creature. But, of course, as some of our human hearths (or should I say emotions) are week, so was of one millionaire old couple. That couple adopted the frightened beast and educated him to become one of us, one human being. Although, his education wasn't easy, as he showed reluctance to learn anything. However, he had no other choice, and the beast became a man (such a shame if you ask me) and the man became a legend because of his origins. Time went by, the couple had left the wolf boy a millionaire testament.
In an interview they asked him about is childhood. He then answer that he didn't remember a thing: "I was still among the nature you know, how can I possibly remember a thing..."said smiling, though that sentence had had a strange and perturbing meaning to him.
In the next few months the wolf boy (that is what the press called him) closed him self in his house, not to show up to anyone.
As months passed by, with no word of the wolf boy, the people forgot him. Suddenly, in one cold and sunny day, the press announced a worldwide interview in request of the wolf boy. This generated some excitement in the people. The day of the interview came, all the world tunned to see what the wolf boy had to say.
"Ladies and gentlemen, man and women. As you know, I came form the wildness, I was a beast, yes. And during that time I was just that, no more, no less. I wasn't neither a human nor a wolf, Not even my... pack were wolfs. They were that, beings.
I admire your... culture, your way of living... but during my time among you I've seen, heard, spoke and felt many things, many concepts, so many... Illusions. I've begin to wonder, what is beauty? There's nothing beautiful as there's nothing ugly in this world. The Beautiful isn't real, it is you that put things to look beautiful. Why??? As I say Beauty, I'm referring to all the things that you speak or do.
During my time among you, I'd experienced pain, sadness, joy, happiness,... but there is one thing missing in me. Me. Since you'd taken me away from the Nature I left myself exist.
Now my objective is to take back my existence, that means I have to go back to the forest...
...
All my possessions belongs to the wolf protection now..."
Saying this, the wolf boy disappeared with the agility of is beastly form.At night, the wolf boy was in the same spot that his parents had abandoned. He was waiting for the Nature to accept him. Then he heard a howl, it was his pack, they'd came for him. The pack surrounded him and, with a whisper for no one, he said: "Mother... I'm Home." With just a few seconds to breath , the pack jumped over him. As they pull out his flesh, the wolf boy looked to the dim horizon and saw six newborn wolfs waiting anxiously for their next meal.
(Although you may thing that the wolfs did this by evil, they where only doing that for instinct, for protection of their newborn and of course for feeding them)
