Babel Redux by K!

INSTRUCTIONS: Re-complete a previous task, but in a language other than Standard American English.

(I tried to use the dictionary minimally, so there may be some errors. I'm just amazed I remembered as much vocabulary as I did.)

La escritor no es alegre, para no hablaba español para más de dos años. Pero, no habla otras linguas. Ella sienta para escribir su cuento, su microficción, pero no sabe que escribir. No quiere copiar su microficción previo, la microficción in inglés, porque esto sería demasiado fácil. “Algo difícil…” ella piensa. “Volar es difícil. Esta es ficción. Puedo hacer cualquier quiero.” ¡Vuela!

Sorry, but what task did you do?

this is a re-doing of microfiction - this piece being about someone who doesn't know what to write about so writes about not knowing what to write about... Oh, and also she says it would have been much too easy just transcribing her previous piece in espanol, but wanted to try something more difficult.

So there aren't any clouds in the story? Aw.

At the end of the story, the writer flies away! "Volar" means "to fly." It's fiction, so she can do whatever she wants. :)
