This book consist of three brief tales that I wrote with varying emotions, and it was only through their creation that I realized they all convey the same adolescent anxiety in distinct contexts.

Reading them in order, we discover a voice, almost a scream, of a boy who is first forced to look reality in the face., then, a small dose of horror was used to defend himself, and finally, calm returned. The conclusion distends from the teenage boy’s sentiments, gracefully metamorphosing them into a whimsical tale infused with a touch of horror. I’m not certain it’s a way to recovery. I know it was a way for me to not sit still at sixteen. If our adolescence was tough in this challenging world, and if grandmother’s saying ‘things never change’ is correct, then this book is yours.

The first story is true, “I lived alongside my discomfort”, it’s all true. In this story I could only express the sensations with a few metaphors. I have in fact described the events as I experienced them inside and as my flesh suffered them. It was the hardest story to write, and that’s why I put it first, and not to take courage, but to tell those who will read it: I’ve been there.
