Welcome to the sanatorium


- Welcome, colleague. As you can see, here is a living area, where our patients can have their activities at will. Each of them has its particularities and needs special care. In a few days, I’m sure you’ll notice they have habits. Do you see that one walking? Every hour she passes through the same place, it never fails. If you look closely, you will notice that she is incredibly punctual, as much as some of us adjust our watches according to this movement. Curious, isn’t it? According to our studies, it must be a type of obsessive compulsive disorder combined with this woman’s other psychological problems. Some patients have extremely beneficial habits and make the most of our structures. Two of them are very athletic and can be found most often on the courts or in the green areas. In our discussions, some theories suggest that they have Peter Pan syndrome and think they are still young and need to spend a lot of energy. Obviously, the physical part cannot deceive as much as a psychological part, and obviously they look as they really are: middle-aged men. There are countless curious cases here. For example, the one in the kitchen. He loves to put apples and other fruits in the salad. An eccentricity disguised as sophistication. You may have seen some big guys here. Poor guys, they think they’re cops. Here in this peaceful place there are all kinds of patients. Some very educated, able to talk about the most diverse and complex subjects. In some cases, they also have several degrees. Which makes perfect sense, after all, they are crazy, they are not stupid. You will find that all people are kind, however, a little confused. Some gossip people ​​often call them barmy, but I think that term is abhorrent. Either way, you will love working here.
- Work? Oh, that’s great, I think you’ll love it, really. But … You still haven’t told me what your name is.
- How rude of me! Nice to meet you, I’m Napoleon.
- Nice to meet you, Napoleon. I’m Ramses II and I can’t wait to help take care of these people in uniform. They really seem to be lost in the world.

City of the werewolves

Image
Few people know it, but there was once a distant city in which all the inhabitants were werewolves. The entire population lived in harmony, just because, unlike what is believed, they were very peaceful and sensitive beings. In fact, there were very talented howling choruses in the place, which were the biggest attraction of weekend nights. Werewolves had their own food processing plant, which made animal husbandry unnecessary. They produced their own protein source which made the balance of their existence with all creatures of nature even greater. Everything was perfect in that place. Werewolves were happy and lived in an ultra-evolved society. Until the curse happened. One of these beings, for supernatural reasons, began to behave differently. Periodically, he assumed a completely different personality from his original one. On every night of the full moon, the cursed werewolf turned into a human and entered the internet to spread fake news, in addition to judging everyone and every...

Late

He woke up a little lost. Where was him? Still in bed, he looked around and noticed countless posters of his favorite band. Yes, he was in his own bedroom. What a hangover! He had a headache, still a little dizzy and his mouth was not only dry, but he also tasted something like shoe soles. He shouldn’t have exaggerated so much. Imagine if he had anything important to do today. Wait, he had something important to do today. It was the day of the concert of his favorite band. The pop that managed to combine simplicity and sophistication. Musicians who were extremely talented and at the same time, able to charm crowds. An epic, sublime phenomenon. He had bought the tickets almost a year ago, he was looking forward to that day. So anxious that he couldn’t sleep at all and had to go to the bar to drink with friends to forget the subject a little. He has forgotten way too much. What time was it? His mobile was out of battery. Great, after all, he was going to have to charge his cell phone bef...

The inventor of the wheel

  The place was Mesopotamia and the year was approximately 3,500 B.C. I say approximately because, at that time, the Julian calendar as we know it did not yet exist. This would only be created by Julius Caesar in 45 BC, of course, at that time without the mention of “before Christ” which was only created much later, by Constantine in 325 AD. But that part of the story or my inability to more precise calculations they are not important to the events that led to the greatest invention in human history. A fertile land supplied by Tigris and Euphrates rivers, that place has attracted diverse peoples for centuries. And fertility was not just about planting, but also about ideas, since it was in that same region that the first known form of writing was created. Returning to the invention of the wheel, everything has to do with a humble farmer in a small city-state. Every day he worked hard on his wheat field with the help of his wife and children. It was difficult, but rewarding work. On...
