But even in the outrageously wicked Tigron Empire, who would dare to attack a royal princess and her consort? So what if she had spectacularly rejected his hand and privately turned her pretty nose up at his other princely parts?

Intagible
by Antonio AlmasUn petit livre sur ce dont rêve l'auteur mais qui lui est impossible à réaliser, plus qu'intangible c'est utopique.
Intangible
by Antonio AlmasHay historias que nacen para no ser contadas, esta fue una de ellas. Almas de mundos completamente opuestos que trataron de encontrarse en medio de la nada. Lo que pudo haber sido no fue porque lo que permitimos ser no fue más allá de las ideas preconcebidas y basadas en las apariencias que no siempre son lo que parecen. Una historia sin historia, un cuento sin nada para contar en prosa poética.
Intangible
by António AlmasThere are stories that were born to not be, this was one of them. Souls from completely opposite worlds tried to find themselves halfway nowhere. What could have been was not because what we allow ourselves to be was no more than preconceived ideas and based on appearances that are not always what they seem. A story without history, a tale with nothing to tell, other than oral reliefs in poetic prose.
