      Rube - Alec Silva

      THIS SHORT STORY

      Rube is one of those stories we write without planning it very much. We just want to put in words some idea that in a future time may be qualified as a short story or something else bigger. It is a mixture of styles, known concepts and personal feelings. It is something of Inkheart, the movie, or Unwritten, the comic, strip by the moment when a little talkative mouse appears. There is also something true, personal and metaphorical that I am unable to explain right now.

      I wrote Rube before watching the adaptation of Inkheart to the movies and It can’t rain all the time was to a girlfriend. Dating and some other things in life ended but Rube, as many others remained alive. If one day I become good enough to define things, the Guardian of the Letters may become more frequent over some books even over Rube.

      This is a complete short story with all its parts — beginning, middle and final. It is all about a little girl — Rube. Rube is beloved by her parents, she is learning how to read and one day for her surprise, she found a different character. This is a preface.

      I hope you all enjoy this reading no matter how old you are and I wish it might
