Witojcie!
Mam dzisiaj dla was opowiadanko, które zostało docenione w konkursie We Are Writers in English i zostało wydrukowane w książeczce, która potem do mnie dotrze. Z góry mówię, że jest w języku angielskim. Miłego czytania, albo raczej... Enjoy!
Do you know
how it is when you see something that makes your outlook on life go upside-down
and boosts your heartbeat so much you think you’ll fly away like on Red Bull
ads? That’s how I felt when I saw her.
It was a
cloudy day. I was coming back home from school, lost in thoughts as usual. My
neighbourhood is a calm and friendly
area with everyone knowing each other. There is quite a rotation of people,
though. Some families move out while others take their place. Still, every new
face is always warmly welcome.
That day I
saw someone moving in a few houses away from my place. I remember a fancy car
on the drive, making me curious who the newcomers were. One part of me was
saying “It’s none of your business. Go home!” while the other one was encouraging “What if they
are fun people? What if they have kids around your age?”. My imagination got
stirred. “Hm… A girl my age living close to my place… Just look at that car. They
are obviously rich, so their daughter must be well-tended. I won’t know if I
don’t check”, I said and approached the house. Not brave enough to ring the
bell, I started walking around the place, trying to find some hints to prove my
presumptions. I was creeping around, trying to spy on those innocent people. “What
am I doing …?” I whispered but continued my small “investigation”. I noticed an open window at the back, took a
quick look inside and realized that was the kitchen. I looked around, making
sure it would be safe enough to come closer. I took another look and got
stunned. There she was, sitting on the worktop with her legs crossed, staring
at me as if expecting I’d come. I could sense her smell from the distance. It
was so tempting I didn’t even
notice when I jumped inside, approaching her as if spellbound, not able to
resist. I could see her moving her finger seductively, asking to get closer. I
approached her neck with my lips, hearing her breath and my heartbeat. Her
aroma was so intense I couldn’t hold myself anymore. I bit her, closing my eyes
with delight.
Then, I heard
a fragile voice from behind. “Um… I’m sorry, but that’s my dinner…” I jumped,
realizing I’d just taken a bite of a porkchop. So, these were only
hallucinations caused by not having eaten anything since morning… Turning my
head, I saw a thin long-haired girl. Too
ashamed to take a closer look, I jumped out through the window like a wild cat.
I hadn’t realized a human can move that fast. I rushed to my room without even
taking my shoes off. So I got into a passionate romance with a roast porkchop
that day! How embarrassing! Surprisingly, the girl that saw me didn’t call the
police. She even wanted to get to know me better. We’ve arranged to meet tomorrow…
