Beautiful imagery in your story @gracielaacevedo. I particularly enjoyed your description of silence:
It was a light silence, like the silence of the past, or the silence that is just before the future opens.
Somehow this is apt for the moment. I enjoyed the careful way the story is crafted. It was a pleasure to read.
Thank you so much for your sensitive reading and comment, @litguru.
At that point in the writing I felt I could describe that liminal space and time where some things stop and the entrance to another dimension begins, but that would have been counterproductive there. I opted to make the silence feel like an expression of that narrow space between different dimensions.
