July 8th, 2009 § 3

Here we go again with more stories, this time I have two guest writers I want to introduce: Cubber and Ryan Licata, both incredibly talented and prolific! unfortunately Ryan has no blog for his writing… but I think he really should have one, what do you think?

the birdseller#003 (by Ryan Anthony Licata)

The bird seller always wore a white suit with white shoes. The cages too, he’d painted white. To the boys that caught the birds he didn’t pay much; only enough to keep them out of school. He sold doves, pigeons, canaries and love birds. But there was one bird he’d never sell. It was not a rare bird but he watched over it like a hawk. He fed it the best seed, changed its water often and kept it in the shade. Nevertheless every night the dream reoccurred: the small bird pecking out his eyes, blood on his white suit.

granchio mutante, mutant crab#004 (by Cubber)

“Adesso Brušek stava togliendo da una scatola metallica alcune creature simili a granchi (Forse, prima che Brušek le catturasse, erano state davvero dei granchi).

Avevano una sola chela, priva di corazza; una protesi, credo; le altre zampe erano più corte del normale (ma “normale” qui non significa nulla), coperte da una ragnatela sottilissima, secreta dall’esoscheletro. Non occorreva catturarli: si arrampicavano da soli, dentro un mestolo da minestra. Quando il mestolo toccava l’interno della scatola, i granchi vi scivolavano dentro docilmente, con movimenti da orango.

Dopo toccava a me. Brušek aveva già preparato i ferri, in ordine davanti alla mia gabbia.”
