Halloween night
Cuando yo era una niña, vivĂa en un pequeño pueblo de una zona agrĂcola bastante alejada de la ciudad, rodeada de selva densa que se perdĂa en el infinito, a pesar de la distancia con el resto de la poblaciĂłn humana, era un área para disfrutar por sus magnĂficos paisajes en donde yo vivĂa con tranquilidad preocupándome solamente de los estudios y los juegos con mis amigas.
Desde muy temprano, tan pronto el sol comenzaba a asomarse en la colina, mi familia se levantaba para salir a sus trabajos y yo me quedaba sola en la casa con mi mamá, hasta pasadas las 7 de la mañana que era cuando a mĂ me tocaba salir al colegio, como me quedaba relativamente cerca a unas 3 cuadras de distancia, desde que yo estaba en cuarto grado insistĂ en irme sola a la escuela, caminando lentamente por la larga vereda mientras saludaba a muchas personas en mi tránsito, porque como era un pueblo pequeño todo el mundo se conocĂa, antes de llegar a mi destino, tambiĂ©n pasaba por la pequeña bodega que tenĂa mi padrino, allĂ Ă©l me daba todos los dĂas una empanada o un panque de frutas, acompañado de un pequeño jugo para que tuviera la merienda de la hora del recreo.
AsĂ pasaban mis dĂas, sin ningĂşn tipo de novedad y una rutina aburrida que se repetĂa cada dĂa, hasta que de pronto algo cambio de manera brusca trayendo a mi mente un sentimiento que nunca habĂa sentido antes, el horror se habĂa presentado ante mĂ de una manera espeluznante y me marcarĂa como una vĂctima de la cual casi no escapo con vida.
Una tarde cerca de las 4 p.m. salĂ un poco tarde de la escuela porque me quedĂ© con unas compañeras haciendo travesuras y jugando “truco o trato” imitando las cosas que veĂamos en la televisiĂłn y que hacĂan durante el mes de octubre en los Estados Unidos en una fiesta llamada Halloween, que nosotros creĂamos era como una especie de carnaval por los disfraces, pero ignorando por completo el fondo oscuro de esto.
When I was a girl, I lived in a small town in an agricultural area quite far from the city, surrounded by dense jungle that was lost in infinity, despite the distance with the rest of the human population, it was a area to enjoy for its magnificent landscapes where I lived in peace, worrying only about studying and playing games with my friends.
Very early, as soon as the sun began to peek over the hill, my family would get up to go to work and I would stay alone at home with my mother, until after 7 in the morning, which was when it was my turn. Go to school, as it was relatively close to me about 3 blocks away, since I was in fourth grade I insisted on going to school alone, walking slowly along the long sidewalk while greeting many people in my traffic, because as it was a small town everyone knew each other, before arriving at my destination, I also passed by the small warehouse that my godfather had, there he gave me an empanada or a fruit pancake every day, accompanied by a small juice so that I had the recess time snack.
My days passed like this, without any kind of novelty and a boring routine that was repeated every day, until suddenly something changed abruptly, bringing to my mind a feeling that I had never felt before, the horror had appeared before me in a sudden way. Creepy way, and would mark me as a victim that I almost didn't escape with my life.
One afternoon around 4 pm I left school a little late because I stayed with some classmates doing pranks and playing "trick or treat" imitating the things we saw on television and what they did during the month of October in the United States at a party called Halloween, which we thought was like a kind of carnival for costumes, but completely ignoring the dark background of this.
Luego de despedirme de mis amigas, emprendĂ en solitario mi acostumbrada caminata, pero algo parecĂa diferente esta vez, el clima se habĂa puesto lluvioso y las nubes negras se agolpaban sobre mĂ produciendo relámpagos y los truenos más ruidosos que jamás habĂa contemplado, en ese punto ya estaba intimidada por lo que apresure el paso, pero antes de llegar a la calle donde estaba la tienda de mi padrino, me di cuenta de que el camino cambio de aspecto, era como si hubiese viajado a otro lugar, la tierra ya no era rojiza y pantanosa como la que siempre veĂa, ahora era más bien gris y polvorienta.
Las casas no parecĂan las mismas, ahora se veĂan deterioradas y llenas de un moho negro, de repente un olor asqueroso llegĂł a mi nariz, olĂa a azufre por todo el paraje, pero no era asĂ, todo estaba seco, marchito y triste, es más el clima de lluvia era tan caliente que su roce en mi cara quemaba como brazas, asĂ que por un momento me sentĂ perdida y desconcertada, el suelo empezĂł a despedir un humo extraño el cual sin dudas era la fuente de esa pestilencia, que rodeaba todo mi ambiente.
El miedo se apoderĂł de todo mi cuerpo, paralizando mis piernas, mientras sentĂa como mi corazĂłn latĂa muy rápido entre cortando mi respiraciĂłn, fue en ese momento cuando lo vi, desde el fondo de la calle un hombre alto caminaba lentamente en mi direcciĂłn, portaba un traje negro impecable y podrĂa decir que hasta lujoso, por raro que pareciera, el polvo del camino o más bien las cenizas no lo tocaban, portaba un sombrero ancho que tapaba su rostro entre las sombras del atardecer, poco a poco se fue acercando al lugar donde yo estaba petrificada, sin saber quĂ© hacer y a punto de orinarme del terror que estaba viviendo, no sĂ© quiĂ©n era ese personaje, pero su sola presencia inspiraba miedo y hacĂa vibrar tu alma como si quisiera escapar del cuerpo.
Cuando estuvo más cerca finalmente pude ver su rostro, era de rasgos finos, nariz perfilada, piel blanca, cabello negro liso y unos ojos impresionantes, pero no por lo hermoso, sino por el color rojo intenso que tenĂan en su centro que brillaba como el fuego de un volcán ardiente. Al pasar a mi lado, sin detenerse, solo girĂł su cabeza para mirarme y me esbozo una sonrisa intimidante, antes de decirme una frase que jamás olvidarĂ© mientras viva.
— Las niñas no deben andar solas en la calle durante Halloween, porque pueden encontrarse con el diablo.
After saying goodbye to my friends, I undertook my usual walk alone, but something seemed different this time, the weather had turned rainy and the black clouds crowded over me producing lightning and the loudest thunder I had ever seen, in I was already intimidated by that point so I quickened my pace, but before reaching the street where my godfather's store was, I realized that the road changed its aspect, it was as if I had traveled to another place, the earth already It wasn't reddish and swampy like the one he always saw, it was more gray and dusty now.
The houses did not seem the same, now they looked deteriorated and full of black mold, suddenly a disgusting smell reached my nose, it smelled of sulfur all over the place, but it was not like that, everything was dry, withered and sad, it is plus the rainy weather was so hot that its touch on my face burned like embers, so for a moment I felt lost and bewildered, the ground began to give off a strange smoke which was undoubtedly the source of that pestilence, which surrounded all my environment
Fear took over my whole body, paralyzing my legs, while I felt my heart beating very fast between cutting my breath, it was at that moment when I saw it, from the bottom of the street a tall man was walking slowly in my direction, carrying an impeccable black suit and I could say that even luxurious, strange as it seemed, the dust of the road or rather the ashes did not touch him, he wore a wide hat that covered his face in the shadows of the sunset, little by little he approached the place where I was petrified, not knowing what to do and about to urinate from the terror I was experiencing, I don't know who that character was, but his mere presence inspired fear and made your soul vibrate as if he wanted to escape from the body.
When he was closer I could finally see his face, it had fine features, a profiled nose, white skin, straight black hair and impressive eyes, but not because of their beauty, but because of the intense red color that they had in their center that shone like the fire from a burning volcano. As he passed by me, without stopping, he just turned his head to look at me and gave me an intimidating smile, before telling me a phrase that I will never forget as long as I live.

Casi te orinaste... Bueno, pero si todo se veĂa tan distinto y de paso te hablĂł el fulano... Uff, no es para menos. Saludos
