If You Were Here
by Jennie YabroffTess used to be normal--or at least, she knew how to fake it. Then her mother started showing up at her fancy prep school and acting crazy, which turned Tess into social cyanide. Now, her days at school, once almost tolerable, are unbearable. She longs for summers at her grandmother's lake house, binging on old movies and Oreos, and weekends with her best and only friend, Tabitha. Until then, Tess just tries to survive, with long runs through Central Park to keep the anxiety down by day, although her nights are increasingly haunted by strange, dreamlike visions that fill her with dread. Then Tabitha drops Tess without warning, switching her allegiance to the school's clone-like popular girls, and leaving Tess without a friend in the world. Before Tess can even cope with losing Tabitha, a horrific tragedy happens one night at school, and Tess is blamed for it. Now, she must fight to find out the truth about that night, and to clear her name, all the while wondering if her visions were really a prophecy, or if she is going to end up in the grip of an uncontrollable mental illness--just like her mother.

Il Principe Pipì: Scritto e illustrato da PABLO PEREL
by Pablo PerelSe odi "Il Piccolo Principe" tanto quanto me, AMERAI "Il Principe Pipì"! Come raggiungere l'uguaglianza di genere? Finendo con la guerra dei sessi, e incidentalmente con tutte le guerre. Immagina un mondo in cui ci sono 16 generi sessuali oltre a donne e uomini, e qualcuno viene da quel mondo per dirti come viverci, senza confronti sterili. Da quando l'Uomo e la Donna hanno perso il Paradiso agendo insieme e in complicità, l'unione dei generi si è spezzata, scissa in due mondi isolati dalla competizione, dalla sottomissione e dall'incomprensione. Le fiabe insegnavano alle donne ad aspettare pazientemente il principe azzurro, e un ragazzo dai capelli gialli predicava agli uomini che avrebbero dovuto possedere la rosa più bella del giardino. Un giovane sprofonda in una desolazione profonda quando lo capisce, finché appare il principe Pito e cambia il suo cuore, spogliando la coppia, la religione, il sesso, la guerra, il genere, l'amore e persino l'esistenza stessa dell’anima.

by Francois KeyserLa giornata di Russell sta peggiorando. Rapidamente. E sembra che il mondo stia andando incontro alla devastazione altrettanto rapidamente. Seduto davanti a un caffè chiedendosi come sia possibile che la sua vita sia degenerata così all’improvviso, un uomo, all’apparenza fuori di senno, si siede e gli racconta una storia incredibile.

Cose che non potrebbe sapere a meno che lui o i suoi genitori non gliele abbiano dette. E sa bene che non è certo questo il caso. Così alla fine decide di credergli. Di credere al pazzo seduto di fronte a lui. Di credere che abbia il potere di cambiare le sorti della sua situazione. E soprattutto… Di credere che abbia il potere di cambiare il futuro del mondo, che non sembra più avere lunga vita. Come, ti chiederai? Con le bolle. Una sola bolla, per essere precisi. Una bolla perfetta… Un racconto che ci invita a credere in noi stessi e nei nostri sogni. I nostri sogni non muoiono mai, nemmeno quelli dell’infanzia. Un sogno è un sogno per sempre. Dobbiamo solo rispolverarli e fare in modo che accadano. Ora più che mai.
Il giorno del tuo arrivo
by Isabel Komorebi*Amore* Stelle * Poesia * Metafisica ________________________________ «Mi addormento con un pensiero, con una certezza. Per me, l'amore non è sulla terra, l'amore è nelle stelle.» _____________________________________ «In un mondo a corto di fiato, un ragazzo e una ragazza si incrociano, aprono i loro cuori, si amano. Non avrebbero mai dovuto incontrarsi, ma l'universo ha deciso così. Perché la ragazza ha un messaggio per il ragazzo. Un messaggio del futuro, un messaggio d'amore. Accetterà di ascoltarla e di offrirsi alla promessa portata dalla notte?» «L'amore, è il grido dell'aurora. L'amore, è l'inno della notte.» Victor Hugo Il mondo. Lui. Lei. La notte. L'ho notato da molto tempo ormai. Lui, il ragazzo sempre al lato. Colui che non vuole farsi notare. Colui che vuol farsi ignorare. Colui che non vuole parlare. Non guarda mai davanti a sé, il ragazzo con gli occhi sempre a terra. La vita e il tempo sembrano scivolare su di lui come un giorno di pioggia. Grigio, triste, melanconico. *** Mi parla della sua infanzia. Non trattiene neanche le sue lacrime, non è imbarazzato di lasciarsi andare al suo dolore davanti a me. Eppure mi avevano avvertita che gli uomini si trattenevano, che non amano mostrare le loro afflizioni, che questo li farebbe sembrare deboli, inferiori. Che idiozia. In che modo aprire il suo cuore e parlare delle proprie sofferenze sarebbe segno di debolezza? Il cuore ha bisogno di rialzarsi. Ha bisogno di essere riempito, ha bisogno di amare. Non dimentica, non sostituisce. Mai. Ma può ingrandire. Ancora. Ancora. Per accogliere. Per riempirsi. Per fortificarsi. Per esaltarsi. Il cuore cresce. Ancora. Ancora. Per amare. Per amare senza limiti. Per amare fino all'infinito, fino all'eternità. Lui: il ragazzo rotto. Lei: la ragazza delle stelle vestita di colori. La notte: la promessa di qualcosa di diverso, di più potente, di più grande.
