Don't expect crazy results with very little effort

FLO TALKS 

In this story, a piece of toast named Buttersy has an uncomfortable bus ride to work. How will she deal with the terrible smell? This is Part 3 of 5. 

The bus kept going as the morning sun rose higher and higher. The candy passengers begun to seem uncomfortable. They wiped sweat off their foreheads and fanned themselves using their wrappers. The temperature was rising. 

Buttersy had a painful look on her face as she sniffed. “What’s that smell?” 

She scanned the bus and found the offender. 

In the middle of the bus was a middle-aged piece of cheesecake. He sat at the window and almost took up two seats because of his size. He was sweating, breathing heavily and groaning. The passenger next to him left her seat and decided to stand at the front. 

“Ugh, it’s disgusting,” said Buttersy, now holding her nose, not worried about what others will think. “How can he be so inconsiderate? A thing like that shouldn’t leave the house without a wrapper!” 

Choco laughed, knowing that Buttersy wasn’t serious, but only expressing her frustration. He said, “This is public life. Just keep breathing through your mouth; we’re not far from our stop.” 

Buttersy held her nose, getting angrier and angrier. She noticed the bus was equipped with a huge air conditioning system, but it was only blowing a tiny breeze. 

“What’s going on!? Are these candies all crazy?” she said, noticing how the others just tolerated the sour smell that filled the bus. “I’d prefer to have a bird peck out my eyes than this.” 

As the journey continued, the smell only got worse and worse.

Un detto italiano dice: "Non si può avere la botte piena e la moglie ubriaca", applicandolo al tema di oggi, è molto difficile avere un salario alto e molto tempo libero. Purtroppo spesso è anche difficile avere del tempo libero pur non avendo un salario alto. Ma in genere, se è vero che il tempo è denaro, più ne vendiamo più si guadagna. Quanto vale la nostra libertà?

🌌 La Sombra del Espejo 🪞

Marta siempre había oído decir que los espejos guardan secretos, pero nunca lo creyó… hasta aquella noche. Estaba en su nueva casa, una antigua mansión que había heredado de su abuela. En el pasillo principal había un gran espejo enmarcado en madera oscura. Esa noche, al pasar frente a él, notó que su reflejo no imitaba su movimiento. Se detuvo, asustada, y vio cómo su imagen sonreía de manera siniestra.

Aterrada, retrocedió, pero su reflejo se quedó allí, mirándola fijamente. De repente, la imagen levantó la mano y señaló hacia la puerta del desván. Marta sintió un escalofrío, pero su curiosidad fue más fuerte que su miedo. Subió las escaleras y abrió la puerta crujiente. En el centro del desván había una caja polvorienta. Al abrirla, encontró una nota escrita con letra temblorosa: "No mires detrás de ti".

Su corazón se detuvo. Sintió una respiración helada en su nuca y escuchó un susurro que decía su nombre. Cerró los ojos, pero el miedo la paralizó. Al mirar nuevamente al espejo, su reflejo ya no estaba. En su lugar, una figura oscura le susurró: "Ahora tú estás al otro lado". Marta gritó, pero su voz quedó atrapada en el cristal. Desde esa noche, cada vez que alguien pasa por ese pasillo, jura escuchar un golpe suave que viene del espejo… como si alguien pidiera salir.
