The olympic swimming pool diver

He was on the edge of the swimming pool springboard. In a shining sun, hundreds of eyes stared at him. After seconds of concentration, he eventually jumped high in the air. Suddenly, a wasp bit on his right eyebrow. He was given the worst score in an Olympics diving event. 

The compulsive sufferer

She thought her life was collapsing. At work, everything was against her. In her private life nothing seemed easy. Besides, she felt she was redundant since her children were already adults, so she had nothing to strive for. Definitely, she was fascinated by the idea of disappearing from the world.

The drum player

It was late in the evening. The Easter parade was marching slowly under the resounding large drums. Children with serious faces opened the parade. The rest of the penitents were covered with masks, except a happy young woman who hit her drum rhythmically. She was an innocent down syndrome girl.

Revealing eyes

When she enters the office I always look into her eyes. Those dark eyes have a different meaning to unravel. Some days they look tired, or sad. Today, they revealed a touch of hidden vulnerability, but I saw a spark of happiness. What will her mysterious eyes tell me tomorrow?

The lesson

They were supposed to be studying. Nevertheless, one was reading a novel, another student was talking to his mate, a third one was writing short messages on an irregular piece of paper, two of them were continuously turning their heads back, some were looking at their textbooks pages seeing nothing.

The golden thong

People wandered in shock. You could hear cries and groans. Blocks of buildings here and there had fallen on the streets in disorder. White dust had substituted clean air. Under a cracked concrete bean an anonymous girl lay lifeless, though for me it was the girl in the golden thong.
