Carlitos era un niño con muchos amigos imaginarios. En su mundo habitaban los más pequeños y extraños seres que nadie jamás hubiera imaginado.

Vivía en la ciudad, junto a su madre, en casa de sus abuelos paternos. Le encantaban las historias fantásticas de "nono" José. El le hablaba de su infancia y las travesuras que hacía, a escondidas de su padre (bisabuelo de Carlitos), cuando se escapaba al riachuelo nuevo que correteaba cerca a la casa campestre.

Cada día salía a cabalgar, mientras su abuelo leía el periódico o algún viejo libro en un sillón de madera y, justo después, mientras descansaba del trajín, se sentaba en el piso con las piernas cruzadas a escuchar la historia que le había preparado especialmente para el.

-¡Arre!, ¡Arre , caballo!, Gritaba mientras José le veía sentado desde el sillón.

-Mira, abuelito, que veloz es mi caballo extranjero de un planeta lejos- exclamaba con emoción.

Por curiosidad su abuelo un día le preguntó qué era lo que más le gustaba de ser jinete. Sin dudarlo le respondió: ¡Mi caballo!

Así, le contó sobre sus aventuras en el planeta lejano. Allí había pirañas sin dientes, serpientes de cuatro patas, plantas que se alimentaban de semillas, su admirable caballo y, también, el pez cocodrilo. Todos habitaban ese planeta vecino. Carlitos sabía que el abuelo no se lo contaría a nadie.

A Rayo, su caballo, lo describía como un animal elegante, de cuello corto y trompa larga, con ojos bien delineados que dibujaban la más hermosa mirada caracterizada por un brillo cautivante. Las crines del animal eran oscuras, y con la brisa al andar ondeaban sobre su lomo. Rayo, como el le decía, era un animal incomparable, era su amigo, era una extraña criatura que divertía sus días.

Pero no solo los rasgos del caballo eran particulares, también se había hecho amigo de Salomón, el pez cocodrilo. Ese ser tenía la capacidad de salir del riachuelo y adaptar sus patas para caminar en el fango. En algunas ocasiones daban paseos cortos mientras conversaban. Era un pez simpático y con muy buen sentido del humor. No en pocas ocasiones le había confiado sus secretos de niño como cuando escapó de la casa para irse a jugar con ellos. Al fin y al cabo, Salomón tenía memoria de pez.

Ese planeta era el mundo que hacía parte de su vida. Todo había empezado cuando una galaxia no muy lejana explotó en mil pedazos y marte recuperó el poder de la vida.

Este relato corresponde a mi participación en la 7ma. edición del Concurso de literatura La Abeja Obrera inspirada en los personajes el Pez cocodrilo y el Caballo extranjero de un planeta lejos, creados por la pintora surrealista Romanie Sánchez (@romanie).

Espero que les haya gustado mi post, gracias de antemano por dedicarle su tiempo a la lectura y por su apoyo. Quedo atenta a sus sugerencias. Un abrazo.

Lightning, Solomon and the adventures of Carlitos

English

Carlitos was a boy with many imaginary friends. In his world lived the smallest and strangest beings that nobody could have ever imagined.

He lived in the city, with his mother, at his paternal grandparents' house. She loved the fantastic stories of "nono" José. He would tell her about his childhood and the pranks he used to do, hiding from his father (Carlitos' great-grandfather), when he would escape to the new creek that ran near the country house.

Every day he would go out riding, while his grandfather read the newspaper or some old book in a wooden armchair and, right after, while he rested from the hustle and bustle, he would sit on the floor with his legs crossed to listen to the story he had prepared especially for him.

-Giddy up, horse!- he shouted as José watched him from the armchair.

-Look, Grandpa, how fast is my foreign horse from a distant planet," he exclaimed with excitement.

Out of curiosity, one day his grandfather asked him what he liked most about being a rider. Without hesitation he answered: My horse!

So, he told him about his adventures on the distant planet. There were toothless piranhas, four-legged snakes, seed-eating plants, his admirable horse and also the crocodile fish. They all inhabited that neighboring planet. Carlitos knew that grandfather would not tell anyone.

Rayo, his horse, was described as an elegant animal, with a short neck and long trunk, with well-delineated eyes that drew the most beautiful look characterized by a captivating shine. The mane of the animal was dark, and with the breeze as he walked, it waved on his back. Rayo, as he called him, was an incomparable animal, it was his friend, it was a strange creature that amused his days.

But not only the horse's features were particular, he had also befriended Solomon, the crocodile fish. That being had the ability to get out of the creek and adapt his legs to walk in the mud. On some occasions they would take short walks while talking. He was a friendly fish with a very good sense of humor. On more than a few occasions he had confided his secrets as a child, such as when he ran away from home to play with them. After all, Solomon had the memory of a fish.

That planet was the world that was part of his life. It had all started when a galaxy not too far away exploded into a thousand pieces and Mars regained the power of life.

This story corresponds to my participation in the 7th edition of the literature contest La Abeja Obrera, inspired by the characters the Crocodile Fish and the Foreign Horse from a far away planet, created by the surrealist painter Romanie Sánchez (@romanie).

I hope you liked my post, thank you in advance for taking the time to read it and for your support. I remain attentive to your suggestions. Best regards.
