Stories and News No. 1084 When the mummified remains of a humanoid were found in a mining town abandoned in the Chilean desert of Atacama in 2003, speculations about its origins were unleashed. The skeleton, which was sold to a private collector in Spain, was so bizarre that it appeared in a documentary as a potential proof of alien life . Now the Californian scientists have extracted the DNA from the bones and rebuilt the true, tragic story of Ata . Rather than a visitor from another world, she was a baby girl perhaps born dead, or dead soon after birth, with devastating changes on her body. Despite being only 15 centimeters high, the bones had some characteristics of a child between the ages of six and eight. Instead of 12 pairs of ribs, Ata only had 10 pairs, and the head was cone-shaped . Forgive us. Please, we’d like to apologize, Ata, if we have misinterpreted the truth. Because that's what adults do. We punctually glorify the shared error, to the detriment of the e...

I am human By Alessandro Ghebreigziabiher In a far, indefinite future... "Hello, we have a newcomer in the classroom," the intergalactic school teacher announces. "Say hello to your schoolmate." "Hello," they do in their respective voices, cries or anything else could be used to give voice to the thought in the entire universe. "Present yourself to the classroom", the alien teacher urges him. She is in particular focused in interspecies cohabitation, in the sense of species, but also special.

Then, he looks around a bit, observes other students and...

So, here's a story...   Once upon a time there was a sky. No, ‘ the ’ sky, the perfect heavenly picture that has seen all of us passing through and, sooner or later, will tell everything. I refer to something drawn from below, with no ambition to what makes the shapes and contours of the human creation worthy of the eye. Read as well as the naive, moving courage to imagine the world as it should be . In this sky, not ‘ the ’, everything existed according to the given order. Each one respected the boundaries of their natural kingdom, as well as the times for closeness and distance, which are nothing but the same way to find out how mysterious, centripetal...

Stories and News No. 961 The Donald Trump ’s administration has decided to cancel the diversifications on bathrooms and changing rooms for transgender students, matching their gender identity. A sort of step back from Obama ’s government. A right move for some and a medieval action for others. Yet, I know a place... Once upon a time there was a kingdom. A great one, if you think about it, a lot bigger than you might believe, if you look from above or a good distance. You have got the best screening size and opportunities within your imagination or what it has so far survived. In the great kingdom, much more than the simple appearance, there was everything for everyone. All had been designed and programmed for each living creature. It was so for inanimate things too, let alone who breathes and loves, comes and goes. There was food for all, depending on the digestive system and tastes, the ingestion and ways to find it. And there was shelter for every kind of life, a be...
