《I am a Spy》You are au naturel

Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro
After another long day, Vini was finally able to relax in his peaceful apartment. He removed his clothes and stepped into the shower, without locking the door. He turned on the water and the cold tap quickly calmed him down. As he rubbed shampoo into his blond hair, he smelled something strong and unfamiliar, but could not determine what it was and where it came from. But as it turned out, that wouldn't be his only issue.
- The water tastes funny. - he said. Until finally he realized. - Holy shit! Enzo! Enzo!
Luckily he saw that his cell phone was right on the edge of the sink. He reached for it without getting out of the shower. He leaned over to grab the phone and try to contact Enzo. Then he felt a strange wind on his back and a tug, lost his balance, and fell on the glass of the box. Pieces of glass scattered everywhere, some stuck in his skin. Vini felt the blood running down his body and feared for his life. His leg was also immobile and, even worse, crooked. In a clever move, he tried to punch as hard as possible on the sink to make the cell phone fall. After almost destroying the cabinet door, the device fell right on his stomach. He called 911.
- I need an ambulance. - he said, giving his address. - I fell into the blindex door bathroom. I'm bleading as shit.
Then he called Enzo, who quickly answered.
- Enzo, come here. Now!
- Okie dokie artichokie. Do you want a cigar?
- No, I don't want a cigar, you fool!
- All right, easy, that was just a suggestion.
Still, could be worse.
Vini heard the front door opening. He yelled for Enzo to go to the bathroom as soon as possible. When he opened the door, he was stunned by the scene. His friend, naked, in the middle of pieces of glass and blood.

- Holy shit! - said Enzo. - You are au naturel!
- Stop being an idiot and help me get up!
- No, Vini. Don't you know anything about first aid? You should never touch the injured person until the ambulance arrives!
- Enzo, i'm fucking damn serious, if you don't help me get up, I swear I'll use your balls as gumballs!
Minutes after the accident, the ambulance came to take him in a hurry to the nearest hospital. Vini's aunt, stunned by the situation, started to go crazy, but Enzo tried to comforted her. In his own way.
- Hey, relax. - said Enzo, cuddling the back of her neck. - Vini will be fine. He's a strong kid.
- It's not that. I am in menopause and my emotions are heightened.
Enzo smiled mischievously.
- Oh, is that so?
What would Phil Collins do, Enzo thought. Vini would get a very nasty surprise.

Ascend
I stood above a pond, the water as black and deep as the abyss. I started walking but with each step, the water rose, or was it me that drowned? I could only walk forward as the water consumed me. Knees, waist, chest, neck, eyes, and finally, I was fully submerged. It was too late to turn back. Was it all worth it? ----------------------- If there is a "*" after the chapter it is re-written. I do not own the cover and was not able to find the artist, if it needs to be taken down please PM (private message). Source: Pinterest

Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.
