The secrets and wonders of life


«It was within the boundaries of that secluded and protected realm that the first steps toward his emancipation were taken. It was there where he gradually unveiled the secrets and wonders of life and, where he safely returned when his heart was broken by his first love or needed to lick his wounds after a lost battle.»
                                       
                                                  By Raquel R. in Short Story number 8

«I was twenty. I will let no one say it is the best time of life. Everything threatens a young man with ruin: love, ideas, the loss of his family, his entrance into the world of adults. It is hard to learn one’s part in the world.»  
                                                                                                    Paul Nizan

Enchanted territory


«In the midst of the silence that reigned in the house, she could not help thinking that behind that closed door, once existed, a kind of magical territory, inside which, a new life, her son’s life, slowly bloomed.»

                                                              By Raquel R. in Short Story number 8

«Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.» 
                                                                                               Virginia Wolf
