     Closed Love

     Sometimes I feel just like I’m dead, or I’m trapped in a bubble, a bubble without any connection with the outside. It’s the same, everyday. Why do I live? Why must I live with this pain? This is not the life I want. I want freedom, I want to know the world, but above everything else, I want to be with her.

     It was a single day, just like the other thousand ones, when I start looking through the mirror, to the outside world. The world I desire. Although there’s no water, I’d love to get out of this bubble, and see and feel all the wonders of that world. But, everything I could do was to look that landscape, along with a beautiful being. A being hundred times bigger than me, but still, I felt like it was made for me. It’s kind of embarassing, but it’s true that this being is so different to me, that it’s obvious that we’d never be together as I want.

     She is a cat.

     And I am only a small and shining fish closed in a bubble.

     Many weeks have passed since I first saw her, passing by the window next to my bubble. She passes almost everyday, and sometimes she sits there for a few minutes. Then, I can see her relaxed. I’ve discovered she has some nice blue eyes, blue as the sky from the outside world. Also, her gray hair remembers me the street where humans walk. And even her green collar is similar to the trees and grass. Everything I see in the outside world through the window, I see it in my beloved cat.

     Nevertheless, she doesn’t see me, talk to me, or anything. It’s like we live in different worlds. And it must be true. I live in a bored, trasparent and tiny bubble, while she can travel the world, meet many other beings of her own specie or other species, and know much more of the world than an image from a window. I want to be free, I want her to take me around the world, to travel with me, to show me everything she knows, and stay with me, forever.

     But I don’t know how.

     But then, I just realised I had to do something. So one day, I waited for her as always, and then she appeared as usual. I knew she wouldn’t look at me just casually, so I had to jump from my water to call her attention. With tremendous effort, I got to jump a little centimeter from my liquid. She inmediately turns her sky eyes to me. For the first time, those magical eyes passed through my soul, and I realised what I was doing was really what I wanted.

     She talks to me. “What are you doing?” she asks, with an angelical voice. “Calling your attention” I respond with enormous shyness. She asked me what did I want from her, and that was a very strong question. It took me many seconds to answer, although it was like eternity to me. When she was about to leave, my voice raised alone.

     “I love you”.

     She turned back. I couldn’t believe I said that so soon, so instantly, so inconsciently. Her eyes, far from being cute, were now angry. “You’re crazy, little fish. You can’t love a cat, you must love someone of your kind” she said, following by other words I couldn’t hear because of my deep sadness. She was walking to the outside, but something maker her stop. Maybe my cry, maybe a feeling, I don’t know. She turned back again, and now her eyes were quieter, purer than before.

     “Do you really love me?” her voice was very soft and kind this time. “Yes” I answer between my tears. “Then fight for that love” I was really confused with her words, but I inmediately started trying to get out of that cursed bubble. She even animated me to do it harder, to put more effort into it. Then, I started feeling happy, just like my heart was going to explode in excitement. I thought that finally, I’d get out of that bubble, and would know the world with my love.

     And suddenly, it happened. Only my tail was inside my bubble, and then I fell to the other side of it. No water, no glass, no prison. I was free. However, I didn’t realise than I wouldn’t fall into the solid ground, but inside a mouth. It felt warm at first, but then, it was all dark. It was my love’s mouth. Why? Why would she do that? I couldn’t understand, but I started hearing the sounds from the outside world more intensely. Not only sounds, but I was able to see images of the outside world when my love opened her mouth a little.

     And then, I just stop caring about my love eating me. I was happy, because I got outside my bubble; I was able to see the outside, even a little.

     I was free.

     And I was with the one I love. I needed nothing else. I was happy, and happy, I slept.

Now, this is crazy! I had to write about a gold fish that fell in love with a cat. Funny, but something I've never done. I guess it went out very well, I like my story.

Comment are welcome :D

Ahora, ¡eso es una locura! Tuve que escribir acerca de un pez que se enamora de una gata. Fue divertido, pero es algo que nunca he hecho. Creo que salió bien, me gusta la historia.

Un comentario es siempre bienvenido :D
