"All we could do was stand there, frozen in horror, our voices lost in the screams of Ory's agony. Wounds from the flogging on her back, looked like the chrysalis of a butterfly, from which the wings were about to break out, crushing its shell to fly away as an angel and emerge into this world with newfound freedom."

A cross cultural unfinished romance
"For the first time, I noticed that the winter trees had shed, and only the souls of the trees were seen. They had been lush green in good old times like me. Still, I let slip the reality that they had begun shedding their foliage to souls a few weeks ago without considering the calendar's insistence on changing seasons."

A humorous cultural clatter in Catalunya
"His micro-managerial skills were boosted by mixed emotions: .
Happiness - the front door, though torn apart, was wide open with the keys from inside.
Anxiety - How much would the insurance company pay back?
Potential orgasms - Both the phones were back in hand."

A mid-life crisis that awaits new hope
"The reality of human grudges, egos, jealousies, and temperament was that, they always grew with age like bad wine. Everything started at this strip club, the Doll house, where the euphoria of loneliness was triggered, and the rhapsody of coitus ended."
