Vapor Blasting Machine

A queridinha de infância do meu marido, a doce e intocável Carla, sofreu queimaduras com água fervente. E, como castigo pelo que ele acreditava que eu tinha feito... Ele me trancou viva dentro de uma câmara de vapor, pequena demais pra eu sequer me mexer. Aumentou o fogo ao máximo. — A dor que a Carla sentiu, você vai sentir mil vezes pior! — Ele gritou, com os olhos cheios de ódio. Presa naquele espaço sufocante, o ar ficou pesado, quase impossível de respirar. O calor queimava por dentro, como se estivesse me cozinhando viva. Eu chorava, implorava por piedade: — Eu vou morrer! Por favor, me tira daqui! Mas ele... Ele apenas segurou Carla nos braços e saiu sem olhar pra trás. — Fica tranquila. Você não vai morrer... Mas só assim vai entender o que ela passou. Meus gritos de desespero ecoavam abafados dentro da câmara. A água borbulhava sob meus pés, lançando respingos ferventes contra minha pele. A dor era insuportável. Minha voz foi sumindo... Engolida pelo calor. Enquanto isso, ele curtia uma viagem internacional com Carla, sorrindo como se nada tivesse acontecido. Uma semana depois, ao voltar, lembrou de mim como quem se lembra de uma encomenda esquecida: — Aquela vagabunda já deve ter aprendido a lição. Podem soltá-la. O que ele não sabia... É que dentro daquela câmara abafada, onde a água já tinha secado e o vapor cessado, o que restava de mim... Já estava sendo devorado por vermes.

Cuando la exnovia de mi esposo sufrió quemaduras con agua hirviendo, él, para castigarme, me metió en una vaporera lo suficientemente grande para una persona y subió la temperatura al máximo. —¡Pagarás el daño que sufrió Luciana, multiplicado por mil! —sentenció. Atrapada en ese espacio estrecho, apenas podía respirar, mientras mi cuerpo ardía y yo le suplicaba entre lágrimas: —¡Por favor, voy a morir! Pero él, abrazando a su exnovia, se marchó sin mirar atrás. —Tranquila, no morirás. ¡Pero sí entenderás el sufrimiento de Luciana! Grité desesperada dentro de la vaporera mientras el agua hirviendo, debajo de la bandeja, me salpicaba la piel. Poco a poco, mi voz se fue apagando. Él se fue de viaje al extranjero con su exnovia, y, solo una semana después, al regresar al país, recordó mi existencia. —Esa maldita ya debe haber aprendido su lección. ¡Sáquenla de ahí! Lo que él no sabía era que en aquella vaporera, que había dejado calentarse cuando el agua se evaporó, mi cadáver ya estaba cubierto de gusanos.

"Honey, the washing machine's making that buzzing sound again. Can you fix it please?" I got up from my desk and walked over. Just as I placed my hand on the washing machine, a wave of numbness surged through my body. My heart pounded wildly before I convulsed and collapsed on the floor. Just before everything went dark, I heard my wife on the phone. "He has collapsed. He should be dead by now." The power outlet continued to hiss and buzz, like the mocking laughter of a devil. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day my wife asked me to fix the washing machine. I then decided to secretly follow her, only to discover she was posing as a topless model for her art teacher.

In the legend she was meant to be cold and unfeeling, a killing machine only meant to destroy and kill and the two races knew this and was more than ready to use her for their selfish reasons. She was meant to be the doom of the whole universe, until she met him…and became his doom instead.

I was Claire Vitale, the lost daughter they forgot, the bride my lover betrayed—and the dying girl they failed to notice. For five long years, I lived like a stranger in my own home. The Vitale mansion was a beautiful prison, where every kind word hid a lie, every promise was false, and even Lawrence, the man I was supposed to marry, cared more for Vanessa than for me. None of them saw how my body weakened each day, how the pain grew sharper. They were too busy watching their precious Vanessa. Vanessa—the perfect adopted daughter, was the girl my parents loved more than me. She came into our family when I was lost, and when I returned, I found my place already taken—by her. Just as the illness was quietly taking my future. Now she was gone, and they all pointed fingers at me, convinced I was behind her disappearance. The machine they strapped to my head would pull memories straight from my mind. "Where is she?" my father roared. My mother sobbed in the corner. Lawrence, my fiancé, stood silent—his accusing eyes louder than any shout. But I knew the truth would shock them—how Vanessa hurt me, how she faked accidents, how she made sure no one ever believed me. The machine would show them everything. As the machine began its work, I trembled—from fear and exhaustion. After all these years of being unheard, would they finally see?
