RE: With the best intentions - My short story for Finish The Story Contest - Week #67
Very imaginative!
It's interesting how we all different. You've started to build your continuation based upon the presumption that the changes in Ms. White are artificially induced. I always look for a reasonable realistic explanation, especially considering the body and mind are so closely related and a problem with the body could also cause a shift in perception.
What is your profession?
I'm a teacher of Spanish language and literature :D
Lamentablemente, no entiendo español )
¡Ooooh, me engañaste! :D
You are from Venezuela, right? I'd like to read a story that happens in Venezuela as I hear such contradictory information about this country.
What I can tell you is that when a people transcends its borders in search of a better life, it is because it does not have it within its territorial space. The government's machinery is very effective in creating confusion and generating supposed contradictions, that's its job: to disguise reality in order to confuse, they are the good ones and the bad ones are the ones who oppose them.
What do you teach kids in school when this type of theme arises? How scary it is to tell the truth the way you understand it? How scary it is to oppose the government? I mean what are the consequences?
Currently, there is almost no struggle, rather a hopelessness. I'm not in the classroom, but I know that their controls on the educational part range from forming organizations of students that are purely political, ideologizing the few leaders that are emerging, to sending to beat, imprison and even kill union leaders and those who rise up. Imagine that now they are destroying the Universities, literally, to create pseudo-university centers attached to their political interests. They fill their mouths saying that they feed the children in the schools and for a long time they only give rice or pasta alone, without any protein, but the sad thing is that there is so much hunger in the people that when there is not that so-called food, many children do not attend. Today, Venezuela is a kneeling people, tired of fighting against this cancer that has metastasized.
Ouch... and Venezuela was one of the rich countries. It has oil resources, isn't it?
