The visionary

 Carolina adjusted the strap of her camera bag and stepped into the dimly lit studio. The soft hum of the city outside reminded her why she loved this job, capturing fleeting moments and transforming them into lasting impressions. Photography wasn’t just her career; it was an extension of her, a reflection of her passion, precision, and professionalism.


Tonight’s shoot was for a rising fashion designer who had entrusted Carolina with unveiling their latest collection to the world. As she meticulously arranged the lighting, she thought about the detail and how every shadow, every highlight, and every angle spoke volumes.


The models arrived, and the session began. Carolina moved with precision, her eyes scanning each pose with the trained instinct of an artist who understood the weight of her craft. She wasn’t just taking pictures; she was telling a story, one of elegance, power, and innovation.


Then, an unexpected challenge arose. One of the key lights malfunctioned, throwing the balance off. A moment of hesitation flickered in the air, but Carolina didn’t allow panic to settle. Instead, she adjusted. She moved reflectors, repositioned her angles, and shifted the mood of the shoot entirely. The designer watched, impressed by her ability to transform a setback into an opportunity for creativity.


As the final shutter clicked, Carolina exhaled. The images on her screen reflected more than just fashion, they reflected her commitment, adaptability, and professionalism. When the designer reviewed the shots, their eyes lit up with admiration.

“These are incredible,” they murmured. “You’ve captured exactly what I envisioned—no, even better.”


Carolina smiled, tucking her camera away. Her work spoke for itself. She knew professionalism wasn’t just about skill; it was about showing up, adapting, and ensuring that every piece of work was a true reflection of who she was.

Charles - the Chess Champion (maybe?)

 Charles’s fingers hovered over the ivory knight, the checkered board a battlefield etched in his mind. Across from him sat Boris Volkov, a chess grandmaster whose icy stare could freeze Maracas beach. It was the final round of the Caribbean Chess Championship, a culmination of years of relentless training. The position was delicate, a subtle advantage held by Charles, a whisper of victory within reach. But then, the insidious whisper of doubt crept in. What if I move the knight? Is the bishop a better option? No, no, the rook… The internal debate raged, a tempest in his mind, while the clock ticked relentlessly. Boris’s eyes narrowed, sensing the hesitation. Charles’s hand trembled, then retreated from the knight. He opted for a safer, more conventional move, a move that conceded the subtle advantage he’d painstakingly built. The game ended in a draw, a respectable result, yet a crushing defeat in the context of the championship. This wasn’t an isolated incident. Charles, despite ...

Pyramid of the sun

 Gabriella grew up in a modest home in the heart of Venezuela, where her mother, Lucia, worked tirelessly to give her a better life. Lucia had once dreamed of exploring the vibrant cultures and landscapes of South and Central America, but life had other plans. Every cent she earned went toward Gabriella’s education and future. Her own happiness was sacrificed for her daughter’s success, and though she rarely complained, the weight of unfulfilled dreams lingered in her tired eyes. Gabriella, now a successful architect, never forgot her mother’s sacrifices. She often thought about the stories Lucia told her as a child — of the majestic Andes in Colombia, the breathtaking Machu Picchu in Peru, and the allure of Brazil’s Carnival. Despite never having left Venezuela, Lucia’s imagination made these places vivid. As Lucia’s health began to decline, Gabriella decided it was time to give her mother the gift of freedom — the freedom to step beyond her sacrifices and experience the beauty sh...

Three friends

 Cassandra, Nicole, and Lakeiska had been carrying invisible burdens for too long. The stress of work, the anxiety of unspoken fears, and the grief of personal losses had left them drained. So, when Cassandra suggested an outdoor retreat in Dominica far from the noise of their everyday lives, her friends eagerly agreed. The first evening, as they sat around a flickering fire under the vast expanse of the night sky, the weight of their emotions became evident. "Every scare, every fear, every doubt… they don’t just disappear," Nicole murmured. "They always shape us." Lakeiska nodded, watching the embers dance. "And even joy, sorrow, and happiness… they all leave their mark," she added. The days that followed were filled with quiet hikes, deep conversations, and moments of solitude. In the stillness, Cassandra found herself reflecting on the past, her insecurities, her hesitations, the anger she had long suppressed. Nicole and Lakeiska, too, felt the echoes o...
