《Golden Valley [Español] [Terror/Misterio]》15-Llegando a Casa
Advertisement
Pasaron unas semanas, Abel ya se había recuperado y en estos momentos el viudo se encontraba volviendo del velorio de Clara rumbo a su casa. Fue un día bastante pesado, sobre todo por tener que ver en tan mal estado a los padres de su esposa, por lo que el viudo solo quería descansar un poco en soledad.
Al final, Abel decidió continuar viviendo en su casa, en parte gracias a la insistencia de su padre con que no se rindiera y en parte porque tenía que preparar las maletas para ir de viaje a Italia dentro de unos pocos días.
El viudo decidió ir a recorrer el lugar donde tuvo su luna de miel con Clara con el objetivo de tratar de asimilar su partida y prepararse para tratar de arrancar de nuevo al igual que como pasó con Ana.
—Próxima estación: Museo de Ciencias Naturales.
Abel con cansancio miro al cartel iluminado en la puerta del subte indicando su destino y se quedó mirando el cartel unos cuantos minutos, hasta que Abel se dio cuenta de que alguien había interrumpido su visión.
Se trataba de una anciana de unos 70-75 años, con el pelo blanco y vestida de manera muy elegante y coqueta. La anciana tenía unos aretes de diamantes y un collar de perlas, muchos anillos con piedras preciosas se encontraban por sus dedos y tenía unos anteojos circulares bastante llamativos y exagerados.
La anciana miraba a Abel a los ojos como indicando que le diera su asiento, provocando que el joven preguntara:
—¿Quiere sentarse, señora?
—Le agradecería si me diera el asiento, señor—Comentó la señora con una sonrisa amable.
Abel se levantó de su asiento e intercambió lugares con la señora. Estando parado desde el subte observó a anciana con aturdimiento, Abel juraría que había visto a esta anciana antes en este mismo subte.

Por otra parte, la anciana notó la mirada fija del joven y preguntó con algo de preocupación:
—¿Está bien, señor? Lo noto cansado…
—Sí, sí,...—Respondió Abel mirando a la señora con aturdimiento—Estoy bien, solo acabo de tener un Déjà vu.
—Mire usted qué interesante—Comentó la anciana con ganas de conversar con alguien—¿Acaso le recuerdo a alguien familiar?
—No creo que se parezca a nadie que conozca...—Respondió Abel mirando los llamativos anteojos redondos de la anciana.
—Entonces puede ser que la situación te recuerde a algo que has olvidado…—Comentó la anciana con una sonrisa—O tal vez algo que hayas tratado de olvidar…
—Puede ser... últimamente, quiero olvidarme de muchas cosas...—Comentó Abel con pena y cansancio; el viudo ya estaba cansado de vivir tantas tragedias y desde su opinión: si pudiera olvidarse de todo y empezar de cero sería lo mejor que le pudiera ocurrir.
—Nunca es bueno tratar de olvidarse de las cosas...—Comentó la anciana con preocupación—Uno puede correr el riesgo de terminar recordando las cosas de forma distorsionada a como fueron en la realidad.
—Recordar todo como si fuera una historia de fantasía me parece bien…—Respondió Abel con cansancio—Al menos en los cuentos las cosas siempre terminan con finales felices.
—Pero fingir que nada ocurrió es injusto—Comentó la anciana con desaprobación—¿Acaso te gustaría que te recuerden como alguien que nunca fuiste? No hay peor destino del hombre triste, que ser recordado como un hombre alegre.
—Supongo que tiene razón...—Dijo Abel, aunque no parecía estar muy convencido de las palabras de la anciana.
—Estación: Museo de Ciencias Naturales.
Sin despedirse de la anciana, Abel se dio la vuelta y salió por la puerta del subte. Al salir, Abel miró con aturdimiento como todas las personas se movían como un cardumen hacia las escaleras del subte.
El viudo se quedó mirando a la multitud, mientras se preguntaba si estas personas se movían pensando en sus pasos o todas estaban más preocupadas por sus propios pensamientos como a él le ocurría.
Luego de mirar un rato, Abel se unió al cardumen y comenzó a caminar con pasos lentos y cansados hacia las escaleras del subte.

Breakout: What Did I Get Myself Into?
The world is normal, and I mean completely run of the mill. People do boring things all the time, like controlling wind, moving at mach speeds and becoming able to demolish a building in one punch after eating. What...that's not normal to you? This is a world where the abnormal happens every day, thanks to super powered mutants called "Pathos". Enter: Capital City: An infrastructure with constructed on the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan, the basis for a school system of which the goal was to educate the Pathos on controlling their power in a safe place while also protecting those without power from being harmed. If you graduate, you could even rule the City one day! ...Or you could just take advantage of the free student housing and perfect the art of being a shut-in... Join Reito Usodachi, a lax and jaded, but surprisingly strong 15 year old boy who's in way over his head, on his adventures in Capital City... The only problem is, he may falter a bit when he gets a grasp of how weird the people in the City actually are. Even though he's read his fair share of media and the like, no amount of reading Manga or playing games could've prepared him for this. Amateur writer here! Trying my best on my first Original English Light Novel! (On a short hiatus!)

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
