NUMBER 10, Isidro C. Coronas Menéndez
“Opening up and walking in, it made her out lying unconscious .
It felt a vile desire, a perversion of the depravity of its lust: and to
enjoy an odd pleasure or to try to delight in this, leaned lts revolting face
over hers and kissed her lips.
She came round ripping the fog of a delirium that disgusted her. She had
thought that she felt the cold, slimy and sticky belly of a toad on her mouth.
I think that it might be the ending of a version of a well-known
folktale and that it could have been written by a woman.
