In the cube

          Should this story (scene) be longer ?

          In the cube battles are fought. Lives are lost. It's an ancient war replica. Replicated are the numbers of lives lost. Soldiers lose their mind. And also a lot of fun...for those with nothing to care about.
          It's called The Cube because of the topology of that bit of space made the war debris form a cube. 
          On board of the entrance complex, in the great hall, soldiers swear the faith for which they fight. With chins up they repeat the commander's words:
             ...
          - WE SWEAR TO KEEP ALIVE  THE FAITH THAT MADE US BE!
    
            Silence...the commander takes a look and leaves. As he outed  through the great door, the soldiers behind him with a fluid and coordinated motion put their hands on their crotches and shout:

           - WE ALSO SWEAR TO COME BACK HOME WITH OUR JEWELERY INTACT!

           Laughs reverberate. The commander came back and shouted:

          -INDEED, I FORGOT ABOUT THAT.

Counterfeit Lullaby

The downside of illegal dreams Is that if cought you do the time Not in the prison of the world But in the jail inside your mind And if you look to ease your soul These aren't the lines you shoud've read Because a warm and healthy sleep Is not for those who steal a dream

Backwards

I saw a man the other day, The oddest one I ever met. His eyes connected to a point, His face in smile of sour regret. He held a clock is his right hand And stared at it, but was away. Just as I took a closer look, I saw it ran the other way. Not to the right. Yes, to the left! A time-machine by all its means Trying to turn the hands of clocks, It was portraying our defeat.
