I was reborn when I looked at the sky

Renací al mirar el cielo

I was reborn when I looked at the sky
The city shone, but it was just noise.
Blue screens hung in the sky, fake moons stealing dreams.
The children did not play, they slept with their eyes open.
Guyunusa felt his heart trapped in cold algorithms.
An old man shouted, “Turn off the spell or you will lose your soul!”
Nobody listened.
Guyunusa closed his phone.
The silence struck hard, revealing a forgotten sky.
He felt the sharp wind on his face.
He smiled.
“I was reborn when I looked at the sky, free from digital chains.”

1. Inspiration
My experience as an observer of the digital world and its effects led me to reflect on how screens affect the minds and souls of the new generations. I chose Guyunusa as a symbol of identity and resistance, a unique voice fighting against technological dehumanization.

2. Clear and powerful structure
I divided the story into three essential parts:

Beginning: the alienated and saturated environment, with concrete images (“blue screens”, “fake moons”).

Development: the internal and external conflict—the voice of the elder—that represents the collective consciousness.

Ending: liberation and rebirth when you turn off your phone and rediscover the real world.

3. Personal voice and language
I used simple, direct, and emotional language, with strong visual images to quickly connect with the reader. Each word was measured to maximize impact and depth, while maintaining a fluid rhythm.

4. Fine-tune to 100 words
The story was revised and refined to exactly 100 words, balancing detail and brevity to make every word count.

5. Final reflection
This micro-story seeks to open a window of awareness and hope, inviting us to look beyond the screens to reconnect with ourselves.
