The Night the Dogs Went Quiet
For years, Lídia Sampaio considered the dogs of Jacarandás Street an assault on civilized coexistence. So when a morning dawns without a single bark, her first reaction is gratitude. The gratitude, however, does not last long. In Vila Olaria, animals begin to disappear, inexplicable marks appear on the walls, and certain houses begin to harbor spaces that should never exist. While the residents seek explanations reasonable enough to continue their routines, Lídia discovers that there are far worse inconveniences than a noisy neighborhood. Between supernatural horror, everyday absurdity, and the melancholy of small absences, the tale investigates what we have learned to ignore, especially when its warnings blend with the usual noises of life.

In Santa Amélia, the last trip of line 86 crosses the border between the known world and the existences that, for some reason, were left on its margins. For seventeen years, Marta Amaral has driven this route, coexisting with passengers for whom time, death, and reality itself seem to obey particular rules. The Passengers Who Never Got Off explores memory, grief, motherhood, and the desire to recover what life has taken from us. In a universe where abandoned possibilities continue to exist, the story investigates the limits of belonging, the consequences of our choices, and the difficult coexistence between love and loss. Between the absurd, melancholy, and supernatural horror, the narrative finds in the small everyday intimacies some of the most unsettling questions of human existence.
In the vast and indifferent fabric of space-time, where improbability is a constant and logic is rarely invited for tea, there exists the Department of Interdimensional Bureaucracy (DIB). Its purpose? To ensure that reality remains minimally functional or, at least, sufficiently confusing so that no one notices otherwise. But something went wrong. Horribly, catastrophically, fill-out-three-copies-of-reports wrong. Immanuel Breckford, a man whose greatest achievement until then was remembering where he left his keys, unexpectedly finds himself involved in one of the DIB's most catastrophic failures. Upon receiving a Temporary Ontological Adjustment Request Form 42/B, his existence is recalculated. To correct this cosmic blunder, the DIB sends Artemis Xyllan-7, Senior Auditor and specialist in metaphysical disasters. Armed with an expired stopwatch, a pen that alters probabilities, and the patience of a black hole, she has little time (and even less desire) to fix the problem before the universe decides to file Immanuel away permanently.

On a rainy day, Helô decides to invite her friends on a trip to California, so out of consideration for their friend, they ended up going, but this trip that had everything to go right ....
Já pararam para pensar em como as histórias sempre terminam? "E viveram felizes para sempre..." Muitas vezes, essa frase nem chega a aparecer, mas o contexto costuma ser praticamente o mesmo. Mas o que acontece depois? O que vem após os tão conhecido felizes para sempre"? Já pararam para se perguntar? Pois é... Sempre que escrevo um final, gosto de imaginar o que existe além daquele último capítulo. Afinal, os personagens não deixam de viver só porque a história chegou ao fim. Talvez o verdadeiro encanto de um final esteja justamente naquilo que ele não conta, mas nos permite imaginar. E é por isso que hoje quero convidá-los a descobrir o que aconteceu depois de alguns tão esperados "felizes para sempre". Porque algumas histórias merecem continuar, mesmo depois que a última página chega ao fim.
