Memento (Second episode)
....
She opened her eyes. She didn't know where she was nor the time it ws. Her arms were tied up. Little by little, memories started to pop up in her mind: she had recently been promoted, her
friend had got married to a famous actor, her sister had had a baby, her husband had died in a car accident and... the bloody murder of her friend. The smells of the place, which ws a 30-year-old closed movie theater, helped her remember all these things.
Unexpectedly, she remembered everything, even what she did on Thursday 6th when she left her workplace fast to solve the murder of her friend. In that moment, she saw a dark shadow coming closer to her and that was the very moment in which everything was clear as the dark shadow turned out to be her boss! Behind his back, there was a man holding a baby in his arms. It was her friend's husband with his son. Christine felt something repulsive coming out from her guts. Her first impulse was to scream Why did you do it?. Her voice was breaking.
Because I had to - answered the man. A strong slap on her face followed this answer causing her to fall onto the floor. Suddenly, a crowd of people started to step into scene and among them, Christing was able to recognize the governor and other very well-known magnates of the business world.

Memento (First episode)
This is something I wrote with the help of my friend Ulises Torres, better known as KawOruTaTy for an English lesson. I just found it while cleaning my room. Hope you like it.
It was a sunny morning, Christine woke up to prepare a cup of coffee. She was very tired but she didn't knew the reason for her tiredness. The only thing she knew was that she wanted a hot cup of coffee. She looked at the calendar hanging on the wll and noticed it was Friday 7th. For some strange reason, she couldn't recall what she had done last night.
Christine works as a news reporter for a very prestigious local newspaper and, as every morning, she decided to go to work. She left her house and she thought it would be a good idea to take a different route and so, she turned towards South Park. While she was walking, a piercing noise was heard, followed by a soft whisper calling her name. She turned her head in astonishment and she couldn't see anything but regular people living their daily lives. She kept on walking until she arrived at her work. Yet she couldn't help feeling a bit disconcerted.
At work, she started to take out all the papers she would need for the day. She had a very workloaded day. Among the bunch of papers, she found a yellow sticker with the word "Urgent" written on. It also had a date: Monday 3rd. Christine opened the file and suddenly, a photo fell onto the floor. She picked it up. It was a naked young woman. The image was very cruel as it showed a woman full of bruises and cuts all around her dead body. She was about to shriek when, all of a sudden, she heard a low noise, it was her computer letting her know about incoming mails. These mails hadn't been read since wednesday 5th. She only opened the last one whose remitent was her boss.
After a long day of work, she went back home and she called her best friend. They hadn't seen each other in a long while. She wondered why. Her friend always answered her calls, but this time she didn't.
Christine was concerned, worrisome and she got into her car and headed for her friend's house. While parking outside her friend's, she saw the mysterious file in the backseat of her car. She grabbed it, looked at it and screamed. In one of the pictures, she could see the wrist of her friend wearing a silver bracelet she had given her not long ago. She couldn't believe her eyes and got down the car and ran towards the door. Her finger was about to ring the doorbell when she felt a heavy sight all over her.
Two green eyes standed out from the window of Sophie's bedroom. No sooner had Christine seen the creepy esmerald-colored eyes, they disappeared in the darkness that covered the room. She ran as fast s she could towards her car and drove away. She arrived at home, she could hardly breathe. She didn't know what was going on.
She decided to take a relaxing shower of hot water. A deaf noise was heard. It was a window being broken. She jumped out of her bathtub and went immediately to her room, got dressed. Sighed and went downstairs. She heard strange sounds coming from the living room. She went slowly to the kitchen and seized a knife. She saw the broken windoe and entered the living room carefully where the silvery shine of the moon was dimly lighting it. She hesitated whether to turn the lights on or not. She did it. Frightened she saw a dead black cat in the middle of the room. Cabalistic symbols made with its blood surrounded the dead body.
She headed for her bedroom, grasped her cellphone and phoned the police. While the phon was ringing, a big strong arm surrounded her neck. The other hand covered her mouth. She fainted as she smelled the sweet odor of a strange chemical substance.....

Unexpected
As tears were rolling down his cheeks, Ringo felt there was nothing else he could have done diferently. He knew he had done everything he could, but still he felt a void in his heart. Why, in spite of all the things he had done, nothing had ended as he wanted? He felt opressed by his own feelings. KnOCk! knOcK!
- Who's that?
Nobody answered. He remained lying on his bed thinking to himself "it must have been mom". Nevertheless, it was strange. Usually, his mother knocked at the door and then screamed his name with her rusty voice that Ringo found so annoying.
He took a dirty napkin he'd used to clean his mouth after eating a slice of pepperoni pizza and used it to wipe off his tears. He stood up and went to the mirror who observed attentively everything that happened in that bedroom and reproduced it with astonishing precision. He took two steps towards the door and stood quietly as if waiting his mom to call him. Silence.
- Mom? Whatcha need? - He screamed with a dubitative voice.
- Yes, son? - Answered his mom
-Oh, nothing. I'll be in my bedroom if you need anything. - He said relieved.
He turned his head towards a small bookpacked desk where he used to prepare his projects. He noticed a little fly walking towards the pizza leftovers. First attempt to kill it: failed. Second attempt: failed. He gave up as the fly flew away. His thoughts flooded his head again and brought him into a state of numbness. He stretched his arms reaching out his bed and fell on the floor. It was cold. Winter was around the corner. Tears wouldn't come. Still, he felt overwhelmed.
If it wasn't mom...then who knock'd at the door? - The question struck his mind. He left his bedroom and asked her if she had knocked at his door:
-Yes, it was me, son. I thought you were sleeping. That's why I didn't say a word, but I'm glad you're finally up. Do you want to eat something?
- No, mom. Thanks. - He mumbled as he walked back to his bedroom.
I don't want to think about the same thing over and over again - He thought. He locked the door and the fly was still there dancing in the air. It was already driving him mad. He looked at his watch. It was 3pm. What could he do? He had no friends and his boyfriend had just dumped him awakening his insecurities.
What had gone wrong? He always thought they were ok. It was the first time he was in a love relationship with another guy, everything seemed so perfect...but it wasn't.
All this crying and thinking killed his energies. He felt exhausted and sat on the floor, leaned on his bed putting his head on the matress. Felt asleep. Slept...slept...and never woke up.

Après avoir expliqué que ses parents venaient de lui téléphoner parce qu’ils avaient eu un accident sur la route sans préciser où, Pierre est parti avec les policiers pour les rechercher.
Peu après, une odeur terrible a émané de la maison. Il était clair que le ménage n’avait pas été fait. Tout le monde savait que Pierre parlait tout seul, chez lui. Il entendait des bruits. Tous disaient qu’il parlait avec ses parents décédés.
