3. a nutshell, your story is about a girl
who was left home alone with her
sisters and a pervert neighbour, at
night, by her parents, who usually
forgot to turn off the TV in their
bedroom, and went on a drinking
spree instead of picking a crazy
grandma, on an overnight pass, up
from the asylum, so the grandma
had to walk her way -5 kms- to
their house and broke into it
through a window to look for some
odd pills to take and ended up
almost choking on a 3-year-out-of-
date cookie before vanishing into
thin air. So, they looked for her in a
godforgotten room upstairs where
the girl bumped into a book that
reminds us of Alice in Wonderland
and then..." The teacher stopped it
there and looked at Mary in the
eyes, inquisitively. "Am I right,
Mary?"
Mary blushed, she felt unbearably
ashamed. Feeling her teacher's
eyes piercing through her so
intently was so disquieting. She
looked down and in a whisper
4. answered, "Yes, that's it, Cheri!"
Cheri patted Mary's head gently,
Mary looked up and smile and
Cheri smiled back at her, "Yes, it's
a bit too much for my liking
but,...so what? Who cares? It is
perfect, it is just fiction. Why
should anyone expect fiction to be
logical? Fiction is fiction and
anything is possible, the writer is
The Maker in that world, it is the
writer that sets the rules in that
world, you may like it or not, but
that's another story. Don't forget
that, and keep it in mind whenever
you read fiction."
Mary thought about it for a
moment and couldn't help saying,
"But there must be some kind of
logic in everything."
Cheri turned back, gave her the
same look again, clapped her
hands and said, "Things may not
be what you think they are in the
real world either, Mary. Never take
things for granted. There is more
to things than appearance." Then,
raising her voice a bit she shouted,
10. an excruciating headache.
"I won't repeat it again! Tidy your
bedroom at once!", she yelled. "Oh
gosh, I think I had one too many
last night..." and having said that,
she left the room and left our little
princess in a warm plush pyjamas
to a story that could have well
happened to herself.

She was silent for a while, stunned.
Then she went upstairs to her room
and turned on the computer.

The door creaked. She was
trembling, but finally when the
door was open, she could check
that the room was empty, nobody
inside. What a pity! She thought
that she was crazy, and all the
events of that night were created by
her imagination, or maybe, it was a
nightmare.
Suddenly, she noticed that there
was an open book on the floor. She
got close, fear turned into
curiosity. She loved reading, as her
grandmother, who read her a book
every night when she was alive.
And indeed, it was her favorite
book, that so often she asked her to
read it again and again.

"Granny! ... Granny!...", Pauline
screamed again and again, while
the grandmother was choking and
becoming blue in her face.
"Call the ambulence", finally
wispered the grandmother.
Shivering and trembling, Pauline
picked up the phone, but... What is
this? There was no signal.
"What shall I do? I don't know.
Help!"
The grandmother was lying on the
floor, practically breathless,
moving her arms and legs
frenetically, as if that was going to
help her get the cookie out of her
throat. She was trying to say
something to the girl, but only
strange voices came out of her
mouth.
Suddenly, Pauline remembered
she had left her mobile phone
charging in her room last night.
23. here?"
The old lady explained that, once a
month, in the asylum they
organised a contest and the first
prize was the chance to get one free
night and, against all odds, she was
the winner this time. The problem
was that no one was waiting for her
when she came out from the
asylum, so she had to walk five
kilometres to reach the house. It
got dark during the hike.
Once in the house, she was not able
to find the keys and the doorbell
didn't work, so she tried to enter
through the window and she fell
and hit her head. She was trying to
find some medicins when she
found her. "Could I have a cup of
tea, darling?", she asked, and both
of them went to the kitchen.
They were enjoying the
conversation, remembering the old
times when, suddenly, a piece of
cookie stuck in grandmother's
throat. They were in trouble again!.

Once their friends gave her the painting,
they were surprised because Paulina’s
reaction. Paulina ran away from the
house. Pauline’s parents, Tom and
Claudia followed her, but Pauline
disapeared in the forest. Pauline,
Pauline! All of them were shouting…but
she didn’t answer. One hour later,
Paulina hadn't been found yet. They
were worried. The night was falling, it
was dark. It started to rain, and they
couldn’t see anything. Eerie sounds were
being heard around them, it was a
horrible landscape… and Pauline was
still missing…Suddenly, between the
high trees, they saw a tiny light. They
thought that likely Pauline could be over
there, but…

But it was even better when she ventured
inside the woods. She could spend long
periods of time there, just sitting under a
tree watching everything around her.
That world was completely new for her.
When she left her city, she was really
sad. She thought that it couldn´t be
anything better than her old
neighborhood, but now she knows she
was totally wrong. She spent all her life
at that place. That neighborhood used to
be her world, she didn’t know anything
else.

There wasn´t an exam, there wasn´t a brother, there
wasn´t a cruel friend, nor family, nothing....just a cold
fierce inmense empty sapce right in front of her eyes. She
was about to make her dreams come true. Anxiety had
taken its toll. All the memories, all she went through to
get there passed over her mind in a second long glimpse
of her entire past. But the time for her had come. Now she
had to face the fear, the unknown feeling. Become the
first woman doing that....So she took a deep breath, let it
all go and....jump

But there it was, the moon again, looking intently at her....
She wished it would stopped staring at her. And she
started to wonder....
I'd really like to travell that far and check by myself what
is so intriguing that catches all my attention....I should do
it.... I have to do it.... I want to become an astronaut!
Wouldn't it be great to go up there and be close to the
stars and grandma?
So she resolved to study science hard and pass her exams.
After that the road wouldn't be easy. She still had to go to
university, pass her exams with flying colours and apply
to NASA. No, it wasn't a piece of cake, but now that she
knew what she really wanted, she resolved to get her goal

50. -It´s Wednesday and you have to pass your Science exam.
-Pauline, what´s the matter ?Are you ok?.
She was quiet a while. She didn´t know the answer. She
couldn´t remember anything.
-Wait a minute, Daddy!
She decided go up to her room and dress up.
When she returned her father had disappeared.
She began to cry......

-"Come on in, sweety! " Her father called from the car.
Pauline rushed at the sound of her father's voice, heart
pounding so fast inside her chest. At last something that
seemed familiar and safe.
Why did her feet feel so cold? She stopped for a second,
her little hand holding the car door. She looked down and
could only gape when she saw she was barefoot.
-"Pauline, let's go, your mother can't wait to see you"
Trying to ignore all the questions in her head, she jumped
in the front seat of the car.
Only then she realized she was wearing her bees and
teddy bears pyjamas....

Suddenly, I saw myself wearing a lab coat, latex gloves,
and carrying some tubes with some unfamiliar liquids in
them. “What am I doing with these clothes and these
instruments? What is going on?”, I wondered. A man in
his thirties came towards me and asked me, “Dr. Pauline,
what is the next step in our experiment?”. I was confused.
“Is he talking to me? why? who is he?”, I thought.
Surprisingly, I was able to explain to all the information
he requested. I felt strange; I thought I didn’t know
anything related to Science. However, the man seemed to
be satisfied with my answer. “Am I a scientist?”, I
wondered.
Seconds later, I realized what was going on…

And then a far soft and familiar voice brought her back from that nightmare (or
had it been a travel?). Pauline felt thousands of insects boozing in her ears.
Her mouth was craving for a drop of water and she felt like a hammer had
smashed her forehead. The darkness gave way to a blurring face and a some
blinkings later a well known (and nervous) smile appeared.
- Darling, are you OK?, Miss Williams said. She explained to Pauline Mr
Atkinson and some peers had taken her to the principal's after she fainted
during the Science exam. She had been unconscious for a short while and
murmuring nervously intelligible words, miss Williams explained while getting
off the wet cloth from Pauline's forehead.
- Don't worry honey. Everything is going to be...
And darkness returned again....

Then a girl came into the room, she was sad, disheveled,
with old clothes and holding a tray. - Come on girl! Hurry
up! We're thirsty! - A man shouted. But, wait, who's that
girl? I know her... yes... is... is it me?? What?? The girl
whispers something : I should had studied hard, I don't
like this work... I always wanted to be a teacher... But,
where am I? what's that? Is this my future? Where's the
girl or me? Where is she going? I'm going to follow her, I
want to know more about my future...

she could not find her cheat sheet. It was not in her pencil
case, not in her pockets, not in her sleeves... The teacher
was starting to look at her suspiciously. She realised she
was moving too much. She started sweating and her
whole body was itching. She needed a miracle. Maybe the
fire alarm...Maybe she could pretend she was ill, she was
not feeling ok, she was feeling a little bit dizzy...
-Boom!-her head hit the floor. She did not remember that
the high school floor was so hard...and cold like stone.
Stone? Why was the floor made of stone? Where was she?
She lifted her head and she felt her grandmother caress.
She was wearing strange clothes and a crown. Someone
said:"is she ok, Queen Mother?". She opened her eyes and
she saw her enemy, Caroline, dressed like a servant in the
middle ages would. She had just said "Queen Mother",
hadn't she? "I think she's coming back"-her
grandmothers tender voice said. "Grandma?" said
Pauline. "Yes, Princess Pauline, here I am. But remember
that now you are 18 , and you are old enough to call me
"Queen Mother". "Yes, grandm...errr Queen Mother" said
Pauline. Princess? Princess...Princess at last!!!

University, the uni, ... again she started to dream. She
knew next year could mean a time full of wonderful
chances and new experiences. She really wanted to get
older and leave behind that small and boring town where
she had been living all her life. She had been said those
years at the uni were the best ones in anybody's life.
Pauline had always been an excellent student, getting
high marks at school, except in Science. However, she
needed to change something in her life and university
would mean the key to meet new friends, to live on her
own and get rid of her annoying brother, Terry. What's
more, she could stop standing Caroline - her worst
nightmare at school in the last two years-.

... but she didn't listen because she was staring at the
stars and she was remembering the story her mother
always told her when she a child. When a very dear
relative died, part of him stayed in the sky looking at us
and guiding us in our lifes. She remembered her granny,
she had died one year ago and she missed her a lot
because she was the only person who knew when she was
depressed.
Suddenly, she could hear her granny’s voice from the
bottom of his heart saying ‘Pauline, you need to pass the
exams! I’ll always be near you, loving you. You can talk to
me whenever you want, but right now, you need to study
to go to university’.
And Pauline…

She stared at him, waiting for him to go. But nothing
seemed to change. He was still looking at her with that
annoyingly conceited look on his face.
'Ehem', he said, 'Perhaps we could have some more light
and discuss it for a minute? You are in a cave up here. Are
you still studying?'
'No', was the curt reply.
60. Paulina felt distinctly umcomfortable. She knew that
Terry was clearly satisfied to render her speechless . She
was eager to know what happened but she was not going
to budge an inch. Terry was too proud for that.
'Well, well. Don't you wanna know?', Terry continued...

And suddenly the door opened and there he was, her great
nightmare, her brother Terry staring at her with his deep
blue eyes and with a grin of pleasure that he couldn't take
off his face... -"What the hell are you doing here Terry?"
Paulina was really mad, her brother was the last person
she wanted to see at that moment. Terry was a handsome
youth of 17 who always was fighting and competing with
her. - "And you? You should be studing... or do you Know
your exams yet? -"That's not of your business Terry"
Could you please get out of my room and leave me alone?
- "Oh my sweet little sister, believe me if I say that nothing
would be better, but I'm afraid that we have a problem..."

Suddenly Paulina woke up feeling dizzy and exhausted,
she realized she had fallen asleep and she hadn’t even
opened her Science book, the exams were close and she
wasn’t ready for them.
She was going to take her book when the telescope
61. attracted her attention, something about it was different,
and she couldn’t work out what. She walked to it and
grabbed it with both hands and just, out of the blue, a
sparkling light appeared… it was a shooting star!!!
Paulina couldn’t lose the opportunity to ask for a wish,
she had a very clear idea about what she wanted: ‘I wish I
were a
princess so I wouldn’t have to study and I could party
everyday’.

She sat down again in front of the telescope. She laid
forward putting all her weight on to her right hand and
she was asleep. She did not dream of her exams but
instead of the moon. She saw herself as Bella playing her
part in The Twilight Saga, falling in love with vampire
Edward, a teenage girl risks everything when she falls in
love, and forced to choose between her attraction for the
vampire and her friendship with the werewolf. It was her
18th birthday and accidentally she cuts herself. Soon, She
was surrounded by some bloodshot eyes who saw her as
something edible. .. For God's sake! She wanted to wake
up...

Pauline had never worked out whether it was better to
wear glasses to look through the telescope or not. First
she tried with glasses. She couldn’t see much. Then she
took her glasses off and tried again. I took her a while to
realise she hadn’t taken the telescope lid off. Once she
sorted that out, she put her glasses back on, her head
before the telescope, closed her right eye, and through her
left one, she felt a light so intense that made her jump
back to her unmade bed. She blinked her eyes several
times before standing up and walking towards the
window, where the telescope waited in silence.

Her brother, Terry, was sleeping. He had had a week full
of exams and he was very tired.
It was Saturday night and Pauline's friends were at the
bar. But she had to study because she had failed her
Science and Geography exams. She was 18 years old and
her next step was going to the university.
