Days passed slowly, consumed by the repairs of the security system and covering Camila's various activities. I was always looking for gaps to fit in my exercise routines and smoke my tobacco. The interaction between Camila and me was quite cordial, respectful, but she always made it clear who was in charge.

One night, after the day's activities, I headed to the pool and decided...

Miami, 2012.

A close friend of mine told me that you're the best when it comes to personal protection. You will be responsible for safeguarding my most valuable asset," stated...

My SuicideGirl:
it's been a year since your absence, a year since you left this plane to join the stars, watching us from above in another dimension. A year since our last kiss, our last hug, our last "I love you".
You were torn from my life in the most unexpected way, with a ticket for a journey with no return.
I still wait for...

Two days ago, I underwent my chemotherapy session. My oncologist communicated that it was merely to maintain my ability to eat normally and to mitigate pain, but it was not curative. Yesterday, the majority of my day was spent in rest under the vigilant eyes of my children and caregivers. It was only today that I returned to the studio to revisit my memoirs and...

It's 5 pm, the pain in my abdomen has been increasing over the last few days, but the morphine seems to be working. It's raining outside, so I won't allow myself to head to the bar. I move towards my study and settle into my desk chair. I review some papers I have here and spot my journal. Over a month has passed since the...

At 9 o'clock in the evening, I sit at the desk in my study, selecting from among the many empty notebooks I have there. "This one is ideal," I think. I pick up a notebook with a leather cover, embossed with the title "Notes" in golden letters. I take a fountain pen, take a sip of whiskey, and start to write:

Hello, I hope you enjoyed the previous story. I'm venturing into writing, and although I'm more skilled in scientific writing than in literary endeavors, I'm eager to improve. I welcome any constructive criticism you may have.

Soon, I will start a series of short stories that I hope you'll find appealing.

Best regards.
