La distancia a lo de su novia es incómoda: algo lejos para ir caminando, no se justifica el taxi y la cuerina del asiento, en el colectivo, no llega a calentarse. R baja del 128, da un vistazo a su muñeca izquierda e intenta relajarse ‑Estamos...

Hiya, I’m John‑o. John O’Marr, to be precise. It’s the 11 o’clock tea break, my favourite time of the day. Of the working day, that is. I sit straight but try to look relaxed, a cuppa steaming on the table; not too close, nor too far from my freckled right arm....

Los Inmortales Ax y R se alistan para la noche — volverán a KAL. Aunque queda lejos, es el boliche que pasa la mejor música y atrae las minas más rockeras. Se han turnado para esa ducha con la que sacar la sal de la piel, sobre todo de la cabeza: ambos se han...

Ella R supo al instante que esa noche le costaría dormirse, porque ya soñaba con Ella. Tal fue el impacto, la rápida sucesión de estímulos que le coparon – sin pedir permiso- cada sentido, que sus ojos quedaron encandilados. El perfume de la chica era...
