When she got her gift, she felt really excited to hear the meowing coming out of the box; her boyfriend had given her what she wanted: a cat!

Feeling excited, she took the animal out of the box, raised it in the air and, after hugging it and kissing it, she put it down and read the note that had come with the package.

"I really hope you enjoy the gift, although it is the last one you'll receive from me, because I don't want to be a part of this relationship anymore; I love you very much, but I cannot stand your jealousy and your scenes; I hope that one day you'll learn how to control yourself and stop being such a stalker and obsessive, so you can find someone to love you because, otherwise, this small little cat I am giving you today will be the first one of many that you'll end up having when you get old and single."

792 - The iron statue.

2015-12-28T04:00:00.000-08:00

When I came out of the school, I saw one of my weakest student sitting in front of the iron statue of the founder of the school, he was staring at it with a sad and empty look on his eyes. So I, worried, approached him:

"Looking at the statue, uh?" I asked him in a friendly manner.
"Yeah." He answered with a sight.
"Is something wrong?"
"Nope, it's just that sometimes I would like to be made of iron like this statue" he said with melancholy.
"Why?"
"So no one could make me bent down to my knees and I could just remain on my two feet, standing strong."
"Oh, but I can make bent down this statue to its knee."
"How?" he asked me, confused.
"Look" I said, taking a lighter and a key-ring of a miniature of the statue out of my pocket. Then I put the mini statue in the ground in the same way the real statue was standing and, afterwards, I lighted the lighter and put it close to the knees of the key-ring.
"I don't understand."
"Look" I repeated, and after a few seconds, the fire started to melt the knees and legs of the mini statue and it fell to the ground bending down to its knee. My student looked shocked. "Get it?" I asked him, thinking that I had showed him something that didn't need an explanation.
"Yes, yes, thank you!" he told me with a big smile and shining eyes as he grabbed his things and ran out of the school.

The next day, you cannot imagine how much I regretted not explaining my point to my little student, when the fire alarm ran off because he had locked all the student that had bullied him in the gym and had set them on fire.

790 - The mask.

2015-11-30T04:00:00.000-08:00

That day I was tired, so I don't know if this story I'm about to tell is real or if it was just a prank of my imagination; but the other day, while I was in the dinning room of the witch waiting for my best friend, who was getting a tarot reading, between all the images of saints, the crystal balls, masks and the dream catchers that were hanging from the walls, the one that called my attention was one mask made of brown skin, with long black hair, two rounded holes for the eyes, big cheeks and a fine red line that represented the mouth slightly smiling.

When I saw that mask, I was so astonished by it that I couldn't take my eyes off of it during the whole time I was there, in the silence of the dinning room, where one could only hear the tick-tock, of the clock every time a second passed; therefore, you cannot imagine my surprise when, out of the sudden, the fine red line of the mask split into two finer red lines and said with a cold and deadly voice "Hello" but just in that moment, before I could even react to what had just happened, my best friend came out, pissed, of the room where the witch was reading her the tarot, and we left immediately afterwards.

Then, later on, when I told my best friend what had happened to me, she assured me that she hadn't seen any mask, in the dinning room of the witch, like the one I had told her about, and she also told me that I shouldn't worry about it, because it must have been just a cheap trick of that liar and fake witch.

The end.
