Insanity / The dance of life

Un día en el college St. Giles hablamos acerca de mini-sagas (historias de exactamente cincuenta palabras). Leave-taking fue la primera que leímos a modo de ejemplo. También nos dieron una que expongo a continuación, llamada Insanity.

There was no letter that day. Joe felt all-alone. For the last six months, Joe had received a letter everyday. Today, there was no letter. Joe felt miserable throughout the day. Just before dinner, the mystery was solved – he remembered that he had forgotten to mail the letter last week.

Y por último, la que yo misma escribí en clase y titulé The dance of life. Lamento que tenga cincuenta y un palabras, pero la palabra que está de más es completamente esencial en la historia.

She went to a ball, she was asked to dance. He seemed to be the perfect man, he had chosen her as one of hundreds. They were dancing, she closed her eyes. The song came to an end and she opened her eyes to see the love of her life leaving.
