The Hundred Tales
Still confined to the four walls of his classroom, Alex writes and draws in a notebook with his deceased father's ink pen, which he has used for three years now. For the past two years he has been seeing a psychologist because of nightmares about his death. His father was a writer and inspired his son. The only thing his father gave him on his deathbed was one of his books, a pen and a journal so that he could become a famous writer and said to him, "The world of writing is bigger than you think. The day you enter this world of divine beauty you will understand these words. ". Every day he looks at this pen and reads what was engraved on it: "Writing with emotions, this is the power of a writer. ". The day his father left this world he promised on his tombstone to become a great writer of renown as he would have wished. The bell for the end of the course rang. When he got home Alex went to his room and continued to write. Every night he tries to finish the book with the hundred tales that his father used to write but he didn't have time to write the end of the last tale. These tales are precious to him because the last story in the book was a story of a father and son. Their stories. An unfinished story. Taken by surprise a discreet tear ran down a part of his right cheek and fell onto the pages of the book. Completely distressed by this situation he picked it up and blew on it. But the letters touched by the tear began to glow and those around them too in turn. Filling the room with a golden and sparkling light. This light shone much more brightly as it went on. Blinded by the light he closed his eyes. However after opening them. Alex found himself in a forest with a golden appearance. A place he had seen before. But it was not a place he had visited, but a place he had read about and imagined. Alex found himself in his father's book of a hundred tales. In the moment of panic he noticed that the book of a hundred tales was still in his left hand with the pen. To check, he compared the forest in the book to the forest in front of his eyes. Every detail was present. Surprised by the realization that he was actually in the book, he saw for a moment that the writing on his pen began to glow for a short time. He also heard a voice coming out of the forest that led to the forest path where Alex was.
-Who are you? Said a girl of the same age as him coming out of the forest.
-Who are you? he replied suspiciously.
-My name is Elizabeth. Answered and smiled the girl with pointed ears and the face of a gentle and kind person.
