The trial of Hecatia
The world of Xibalba was different from everything she ever saw in Earth. No sun beam reached there, but it never lacked illumination; the lightbulbs glowed brightly in the buildings of the city, bioluminescent plants grew through the walls and lanterns illuminated the sky emitting a searing green light. It was the eternal night, but some would say it didn’t make justice to the title “land of the dead” of that place.
“So, you rule this entire district, Maxahama?” she asked, taking a good look at the entire place with her green eyes. She wore a yellow strapless dress, black shorts and brown boots. Her red hair wa

The Mirror of the Moon
A. N.: This is a draft of a short story. If you read, please tell me what you think.
Long ago, the people of the forest lived in their huts. With houses made of straw and wood, they fished and hunted before they learned how to plant. Life was harsh, but they endured with each other. In the new moon nights that didn't rain, they made a huge fire to share their stories. In the nights of full moon, they took advantage to hunt, but not before taking the time for a ritual named moon-viewing. They believed the moon had people who watched them. They tried to wave in hopes of one day one of the moon people would reply to them.
The day came but not

Day 1
I am one of the last of the medusas. I saw the rise of the human civilization, I saw Greece being parted so many times that I still wonder how they managed to preserve their culture and creations. However the age of heroes and monsters has ended so much time ago. It’s been millennia. I still remember the stories of the first medusa. She was the one who gave our kind our name. She died, slayed by Perseus. Our great mother’s story always made me wonder if the only fate of a monster was to be killed by some human. My fellow medusas warned me that those were dangerous thoughts and that the natural order of things shouldn’
“I remember this photo.”
The photo showed a group of nations yelling at France, the timestamp displaying May 8, 1954. Vietnam was the most active in the uproar: she picked a chair and bashed at the blonde Frenchman, whom tried to protect himself with his arm. He looked like he was near tears.
“France lost most of his colonies after second World War. He had great family, but everyone went off to their own place. Now he has just French Guyana. He loves his rockets.” China had the photo album in his lap. Vietnam sat down beside him, her hands firmly on her knees, while she looked down with a stern expression that was ch

The Three Snakes #9
“Gosh, what was that?” The man in a hoodie said, after stopping a while to take a breath. He placed one hand on the wall of a building. “I lost the galloon… who cares, the place is already burning… I just wonder why he wants to-”
HISSSSSSSS.
The hooded man made silence to hear what he just heard. “It’s nothing.” The hisses continued. “It must be a snake,” he turned on a lantern on his cellphone, “better be careful to not startle her.”
He pointed his cellphone-lantern at a corner. The light revealed a white snake, with red eyes. As soon as the light hit the reptil

HiaS - Chapter 10
They arrived in Trifna. The city was much bigger than Ilead; they were still at the gates, but the fact it had gates and walls was already something. Only Etrus’s personal carriage entered the gates in order to pay taxes, while the convoy went to a clearing close to the wall, where it was used to camp and to act as a base to the activities. However, Marcos and Rebecca didn’t enter in the city yet.
“Marya, what did I tell you?” Marcos asked. Both Marcos and Rebecca were back in her usual combat outfits.
There were two arcanods holding Marya’s tiny arms, one holding each arm. They didn’t seem amused, as nei

The Greatest Evil in the World (CCC)
Do you know what the greatest evil in the world is?
It is neither war, nor savagery.
It is neither murder, nor rape.
Neither hypocrisy, neither slander, neither hatred, neither any of the Seven Deadly Sins.
All these things are byproducts, carrying the essence of evil, but the leaves rather than the roots.

Herodias: Who Are You
Who are you
to tell me what to do?
Who are you
to interfere?
Who are you
to think you know better,
to think you can save me,
to think I'd ever change my ways?
You say repent -
I won't.
You say God cares -
I don't.
You say it's a warning -
I'm warning you.
You have a big mouth -
I'll silence it.
See what your God does now.
Who are you
to think you can stop God
by silencing voices you do not like?
Who are you
to think you know better
than the One who made you
for better things than this?
Who are you
to think your choices right,
blind to the fact
that they're destroying you,
defacing what God meant you to be?
Who are you
to turn your back
