Magic blue eyes

Complaining about his life, the young man Mark was sitting in the couch of his house, looking outside and sighing. Suddenly he heard the bell ringing. “Unfortunately, he had visitors”, he thought. His mother answered the door; the visitors were the couple Gya and Charlie. They brought a beautiful girl together with them, the lovely Cindy. This young lady had the most beautiful eyes that Mark has ever seen. They were blue and splendid. Mark fell in love with this girl at first sight.

It was almost dinner time, so they all went to the kitchen and waited to be served. The young man, who was really depressed, started to look at Cindy’s eyes non-stop. His body started to shiver and he was really hot. Suddenly he penetrated into Cindy’s eye, traveling in an amazing trip. It was really unbelievable, there is not an explanation to describe this voyage. Cindy’s eye attracted him to a strange place, through this crazy enchantment. During the trip, he fainted. Mark woke up one day later.

Mark got up in a strange spot. He noticed this place was chaotic and insane. The time in this dimension passed three thousand and sixty hundred times (3600) faster than in the earth. The sun rotated too fast, so He couldn’t see the night. Creatures were born and died almost at the same time. Mark couldn’t talk to anyone, because he couldn’t follow the velocity of this dimension. People move too fast and he was getting older and older. Mark was very tormented, considering that he has never seen anything like that. Actually, he couldn’t do anything, but watching his old age coming. After seven days in this inexplicable spot, he died.

He woke up when his mother was calling him at the table. It was dinner time. His mother was worried and she asked him what happened. He was asleep. The trip only took 2 minutes in reality. Everybody was staring at him. He couldn’t explain anything, he was really terrified. So they forget it and started to eat, since they all were friends and they wanted to talk about their lives.

After the dinner, Mark called Cindy to talk in private. He really wanted to tell her what happened. So Mark said:

- Cindy, I would like to say…

Cindy interrupted him:

- I know what happened to you.

Frightened, Mark asked:

- Do you really know what happened? But…

Cindy interrupted him again:

- Yes I know. I just wanted to show you, through this enchantment, how valuable is the time. We can not waste our time, because it is really precious.

Mark said:

- But……..

Cindy conclude:

- No buts, Mark. Don’t waste your time. Just kiss me!
