When he awoke , at first he didn´t remember what had happened. It was dark and he was lying on a comfortable bed . He thought he was in his room and  he kept the eyes closed , standins on the border between sleep and wakefulness . Then he began to realize that something strange was happening . Not far he heard someone talk, but were not the parents . The voices were strange , thin , such as cartoon  characters and spoke using manny  the zz and rr . It was the television . ! Sought to light up the room, but the wall was not in the right place . He sat up in bed panicked and screamed for his mother. There was a rustle and the light was turned up suddenly. Simon 's mouth dropped open , but he didn't made a sound. With his eyes widened he stared at the strange creatures that were before him, terrified .

I'm sick - he muttered to himself , touching the damp forehead. - I must be feverish and I 'm seeing things , like the time I imagined Santa arriving by air conditioning.

The creatures moved around and Simon curled up in the blanket , trying to keep the distance .

- I  told you this would brring prroblems . - The largest crature with big eyes muttered to a small body crature with large paws . Simon was completely terrified and started screaming, covering his head with the blanket .

- I'm dreaming , I'm dreaming ! Go away !

A soft voice was heard shouting in the range :

- Everybody out . He's scared . It is understandable . - There was a rustle of feet living the room and then all was silent.

Budget and due dates

A edição de 500 exemplares pressupõe que o autor adquira 200, ao preço de 8 euros. A aquisição terá de ser efetuada, na totalidade, no momento da assinatura do contrato, valor que não tenho possibilidade de conseguir a curto/médio prazo, pois estive sem colocação no ano letivo anterior e estou com horário incompleto este ano. A divulgação do livro fica a cargo da editora e caso as vendas sejam positivas o livro será publicado no estrangeiro. Os termos do contrato são apelativos, pois permitem a possibilidade de entrar noutros mercados além do português e dão apoio a uma autora que está a dar os primeiros passos. Conseguindo o montante necessário e feita a revisão do texto o livro seria publicado no prazo máximo de 4 meses, pelo que estaria nas livrarias ainda este ano.
