An earthquake has been strongly felt near Los Angeles, California, rattling nerves but causing no major damage, injury or deaths.

Don’t you posses “spider sense” like I do? Aren’t women, say, more sensitive?

At night
Just writing to this hour is a habit of doing so for years entrenched that follows, I can not help, it is my favorite time.
About twelve o’clock of night was the best time to write, the day is finished forever, so this day is not ever repeated.
It is lived, what was going to happen has already happened and there is no going back.
Yes, that´s the real truth, it is not possible to go back again.
There is not a second oportunity, that is for fiction only.
As it is life tomorrow, a blank page of paper, I write now?, Which subject about? I restless?, now is the magic moment, at this point in the night where you are the 01.00 and I must go to bed, right now I think saying something.
The day is over, life is over for today, only dreams goes through the night.
