Leo punches a wooden canvas painting on the wall and its pieces gravitate on the floor. There goes the sleepless nights. He paces around the office knocking down piles of papers with designs depicted on them. Smacking down fashion portraits from their places like the rage will disappear. I lost everything. Blood leaks from the diagonal cut he sustained on his right palm.I, Leonardo Sal, lost? There is no way. His blood at a boil and the fire in his eyes creates temporary blindness.Has he completely lost his mind?After all the effort I put in this stupid competition? He crumples pages from his design sketchbook and hurls them across the room.Moments later he throws himself on a chair at a corner desk. And reclines his head on the headrest of the modern office chair.So close to reaching the stars! Now this happens. He shuts his eyes and swallows hard. Rocks the chair back and forth with only one wish.Knocking sounds develop, he glares at the door and remains still, in a detached

A week later“Beep, Beep, Beep.” The microwave shakes her out of sleep. She gets up from the kitchen table disoriented. Goodness, the modest kitchen is filled with smoke and the burned smell overwhelms her nostrils, and she coughs with a closed mouth.She rushes to switch off the microwave. How could I have fallen asleep like that? Posing at the open window with her hands clutch on the sink. The haze caused by smoke disappears and she gulps. Relieved, it could’ve gone worse.Abrupt movements from the living area develop. Rose takes big steps to close the window and runs up the stairs. With swift movements she enters the bedroom and locks it. The room is filled with silence and she exhales. Stop being paranoid. Everything is fine. Maybe It’s Demi? Ahg! Nevermind. She poses to close the silk curtain, and the glance of the sky brimming with stars makes her smile. Tonight they are sparkling more than usual.Footsteps accelerate her heartbeat. She walks backward, towards a corner. A pine w

With heavy steps, he strolls around the ocean in silence except for the soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore. And cool air that messes up his hair, when they blow in his face. Soft giggles pacify his eardrums, he swallows hard and turns to follow the sound.A little boy is racing towards the ocean with his mom and dad running behind.“Tommy! Please slow down, darling” His mother shouts.“Come on, bud, listen to mommy, okay.” His dad says.Little Tommy reaches the shore with a grin and a wave washes over him. Soaked. Water drips from his silk hair down to his khaki shorts. “Yeahhhhh..” his soft voice dances with excitement. A spark ignites in Leo’s eyes as he watches the clueless young fella. Little Tommy begins to cross the shallow water to a deeper part.“Get back!” Leo removes his shoes and sprints towards him.With one lift his strong hands pull him out of the water.“Hey, I want to go under the water…” Tommy says with regret.Leo’s pupil cautiously dilates when T

Rose has been in the same position for hours. Frustration bubbles inside her. And to think Alonso is unbearable? She rises to stretch, moving closer to the gigantic crystal white window, she leans her shoulder on it. Wishing it will swamp her in another universe, where loathful Leo doesn't exist.“What the hell are you doing?” His demanding tone taps the back of her neck."Am I not allowed to move?" Jaw clenched, eyes penetrating the impermeable wall in his."Did I say you can move? Much less touch the surface of my window." Posing at the narrow door of the study. Who does he think he is?Her tongue makes a clicking sound at the flat statement."Watch your mouth."“I have had it with you! Honestly, you are very impolite, I have been sitting in that same spot for hours, and you are there pretending like I don’t exist." Releasing the tension biting the softness of her skin."Do you really think you exist?" He moves around the office."I demand that you take me back home right now. Gues
