Il Gatto
A Cat’s decision “Mrs. Babu, it’s your turn to speak.” “Thank you, Woman- Chief of the Parliament of the People. I have a question for Mr Svanzoni, a rhetorical one. Why we should help those people? Do we have to do it because they’re human beings? But they’re not,...
Il Parlamento
The Parliament’s vote A buzzing room The 30 Members of the Parliament of the People create a buzzing sound in the small hall. It seems like many bees are working on building a wall of honey. There’s no more honey, though, but only a vast wall. A solid barrier...
Una camminata a Tokyo
This is part 4, read first part 1, part 2 and part 3. Sunday morning in Tokyo I walk through Tokyo’s quiet and coloured streets, with the typically exposed wires dancing in the wind from one window to the next. I notice families passing by, directed to different places of...
Japan in un hotel- capsula
Capsule hotel! This is part 3, read first part 1 and part 2! It doesn’t take long to reach the small street where my hotel will host me for the night, but it’s long enough to make me feel lost. It isn’t the worst sensation ever, since I feel...
Mimi giapponesi
Lost in metro This is part 2, read part 1 first! This time, I have an excuse, and a good one: I’m super tired, and in this metro, they write only in ancient Japanese writing. And as you can guess, I know about the Japanese language as Japanese people...
Uccidi gli Alieni!
The aliens matter “Gentlemen and ladies.” Started the Head. The whole Parliament got quiet at once, for curiosity more than out of simple fear or respect for him. You could listen only to the purring of the Head’s cat. “We are here reunited today to speak about the aliens’...
Il Capo va in Parlamento
What the Head would say? “We shouldn’t have to check the news, first?” “Check, you said? Which news do you want to check?” “Come on, did you really believe that story about the explosion…” “Shush!” The two members of the Parliament seemed like two scared crows. They hide behind...
Cancellate quel messaggio!
Can a message change everything? The woman seemed touched but this answer and jumped a bit behind on the chair; a few seconds later, she was back on track, ready to show one of her famous smiles. “So, what are you asking us? What do you want from us?”...
Intervista all'alieno
An interview, that’s all we need to know them Don’t think even for a moment that all of this went fast. No, the red button of fear needed to be touched softly and the fear to grow slowly inside you, like a flower or the grass in a garden....
L'esplosione
A sudden explosion, like a shot That was a shot, a big crash. If you have never heard an explosion, it seems more like a shot, but its sound wraps you completely. Furthermore, the air flicks and the floor starts shaking terribly. You feel like a pawn, a lost...
