Close your eyes!

Never before has the world been so devoid of miracles and intuition as in this era. I firmly believe that there is a need, for sparkle that illuminates our tomorrows. That's why woth all my limits I told the story of a girl, all projected towards the next holiday with her best friend, who instead gets "thrown" on the Costa Brava at the house of a grandmother that she doesn't know at all and is really very, very particular. So, as I was saying, the story starts from a journey that began by chance, or by bad luck as Bianca, 17 years old and with fluctuating self-esteem, would say. In truth, the journey will take her to distant lands where she is, however, able to feel more at home than ever... and where she will discover her roots, but also something very special that binds her to her grandmother Virginia, never seen or known before, if not in old yellowed photos locked inside a shoebox. It is thanks to this gift that she will be able to read and react to the succession of unexpected situations that will lead her to feel like she is on a roller coaster, but also to grow emotionally. As the chapters continue, the characters around the protagonist become deeper, starting from her roots, from Grandma Virginia and her complex story of mourning and unresolved motherhood, up to the past from which Bianca's first great love, Jan and his family. This book is about growth, but also about returning to the past in search of a meaningful narrative that gives a framework to the relationships torn apart around the protagonist. But then it also talks about teenage love, made up of butterflies and holes in the stomach, all seasoned in a magical sauce. He was born 10 years ago but probably like many others, he grew up in the winter of humanity 2020 2022, and sometimes, with a bit of arrogance, he drags the reader into all those somatic reactions typical of adolescent emotions that have been lost with the advent of Covid. It is dedicated to the adolescents I deal with as a psychotherapist, but it hopes to appeal to adults with a romantic soul. Genre Young Adult Paranormal.

Chapter 1

"Are you sure he doesn't see me?"

"I told you no!! Dan Brown just opened!"

"Angels or Demons?"

"Dwarfs or goblins? Oh, I mean, what do you care?! Did you?"

"No! Oh, wait! Oh, my gosh! It takes concentration!"

"In short, hurry! I'm very famous. I want a hamburger! ASAP!"

"As Soon As Possible?"

"No, otherwise they'll chop a Duck in the Park!"

"Sempione or Paul II? "

"Get moving!"

"One moment and I'm done! Come on!"

Bianca closed her eyes and asked the question in a low voice: "Are Giulia and I going to have a good summer?"

Then he opened a page and read, "Rather than better, better than better."

Then again: "Will I meet love this summer?" Bianca opened a page and read "heart that beats for fear knows how to beat for love."

"What balls! You don't understand anything!"

He decided to sacrifice Giulia's hunger for another minute and asked the last question: "What awaits me in the future?" He hesitated for a moment, just enough time to let the clerk pass, intrigued by their voice, and once the lane was cleared again, he opened the page anxiously. He opened his eyes, which he had closed without realizing, and read:

"Rather than nothing, it's better rather.". "Again? But what is it? What is it? Do you loosen your tongue?" Bianca thought it might not be the right day for an oracle, put aside her irritation and decided to indulge Julia and her hunger. He closed the book.

"Did you?"

"Yes, I don't understand anything, but yes. Rather you, are you sure you don't want to try it before you go?" he asked her ironically.

"I told you no, you know I don't believe in these things, but I do believe in a mega Prince Burger though. If I continue like this, I'll have visions of hunger! Then you can question me instead of the book!"

"Grasp the concept! Let's go!" He rested the book carefully, then made sure that the only copy was well in the shade. He did it all the time. She was convinced that by doing so he would be magically forgotten among the shelves and ready to be found at the next consultation. After finding the best hiding place, he memorized the title of the book, which partly covered it, and set out with Giulia on the way out.

Leaving the shop, the clear light of June filled the eyes of the girls, who were now numb from the enclosure, and immediately Giulia's stomach murmured.

"Here, can you hear it??He is rebelling too!!"

"Oh, how many stories you make! If only I were a pregnant woman!"

"Of course not, if I were pregnant I wouldn't smoke" and he rolled a card.

"You are such a fool..."

"Oh, yes! Listen, you fool, explain this to me..." he said to her intent on lighting her cigarette with that sure lint that would have accompanied her all her life. "But if you like that book so much, why don't you finish it and buy it once and for all?"

"Are you kidding? You can't buy the answer book, you can find it! In every shop there is a hidden one ready for you! Just look for him. If I took him home, what value would his answers have? It is the effort to find it on the shelves that gives it value... that makes it magical! If I bought it, it would be like seeing an animal in captivity! Do you want to put the zoo with the safari???"

"I see. A sort of bison hunt in the middle of the books. How logic does not make a bend..."

"A-ha. You're agreeing with me like crazy, aren't you?"

"I, right to you? Not if I were interned."

"But shouldn't you doctors be endowed with a charitable spirit, like a Hypocrite oath... Hippocrates or something like that?"

"At the curtain. We are not the Pope!". She made her friend, rolling her eyes upward.

Giulia Colonna, who now bore a first uncomposed name to the state, was born Giulia Cesara. All together. As a first name, well marked by all primary and secondary school teachers. His family, transplanted from Rome to Lombard soil a decade after the Milan to drink, was formed by six members, whose two adults, full of 'magic' Rome, raised their four children cradled in the idea of belonging to a gladiatorial race whose superiority had to be shown to the remaining Lombard originals with a certain dose of magnanimity. The high-sounding surname therefore played a fundamental role in the fantasies of the two who cared little about the embarrassing amount of Colonna around Italy: mostly children of illegitimate children or orphans to whom some real nobleman did charity. So why not accompany such a business card for the children with a name that would further emphasize the undoubted nobility of the lineage? Giulia was the only female of three siblings: Marcus Aurelius, Giuliano Didio and Commodus. His life was marked by the matches of Roma, often inflicted live, after family transfers, during which he was often dressed in yellow and red. He was aware of the traffic light effect, so when he was in the mood for deeper digressions, he fantasized about being a delegate of some kind of twinning with Spain, a country that we don't know why he had always been a little bit on his dick.
