Your translation is quite good. The only error I saw was in this line. The whole thing should be in the same quotes.
“Calm down, Fidel. You're not going crazy.” I'm as real as you are, but on a different, ethereal plane. Call it consciousness."
A fascinating tale with some excellent descriptions, and some funky maybe magic, maybe science. I don't think I could have kept away from opening it from that long.
Hello, @artofkylin
Thank you a lot. I saw the mistake, and I corrected it thanks to you. You know, I find it hard for many people to resist the curiosity to open the chest, just like in the Pandora myth. Fidel was fortunate to have the guidance of a fabulous grandfather. I'm glad you liked the short story.
Greetings.
