Ray Bradbury
Fragmento de Encuentro nocturno (Crónicas Marcianas)
Sábado por la tarde, y otra vez me encontraba atascada en mi trabajo, desanimada cogí al azar un libro de la estantería, sin mirar siquiera la cubierta y el título. Es un libro de mi padre, lo reconozco en cuanto lo veo, la cubierta está ligeramente desgastada por la esquinas y el lomo muy machacado, seguro que lo leyó muchas veces, con lo que debe de ser bueno pensé.
Seleccioné entre los títulos del índice el que más me llamaba la atención Encuentro Nocturno . . . cuando terminé de leer la última frase, la cabeza me bullía de ideas, las palabras eran imágenes en mi mente, ese cuento me había tocado mi fibra sensible.
He estado el resto del día dibujando y haciendo bocetos . . .

"That night there was a smell in the air time. Tomas smiled. What was smell the time? A dust, watches, and people. What had sound time? A sound of water flowing inside a cave, and a very sad voice and clods of earth falling on the coffin lids and hollow sound of rain. and further, what the weather was like? a snow falling quietly in a dark room, a silent movie in a very old movie, a hundred million faces that descend like those New Year balloons that descend and descend into nothingness. that was the time, its sound, its smell. and that night (and Thomas took a hand off the truck) tonight you could almost touch the time.

Saturday afternoon, and again I was stuck in my work, discouraged randomly picked a book off the shelf, without even looking at the cover and title. It is a book of my father, I admit when I see, the cover is slightly worn by the very corners and spine crushed, sure read it many times, so I thought it must be good.
Select from the securities in the index that most struck me nightspot. . . when I finished reading the last sentence, my head was buzzing with ideas, words were images in my mind, that story had touched my heartstrings.
I've been the rest of the day drawing and sketching. . .
