1
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:10.160
My nightmare began on a dark and
stormy night. When I met that sinister
2
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:16.480
for the first time, his presence
was like a peculiar shadow, barely perceptible.
3
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:22.039
Back then I was walking along with
my dog Max, down a lonely
4
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:26.839
path in the woods. After my
return. That' s when I saw
5
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:31.359
a medium- sized black dog with
a fur so dark that it was lost
6
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:36.159
at night. But what struck me
the most was his eyes, which were
7
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:42.479
so red that they seemed to burn
with supernatural intensity. At that moment,
8
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:49.399
Max grunted erecting his fur, but
the other dog remained motionless, watching us
9
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:54.359
with a penetrating look. I tried
to ignore the feeling of discomfort that invaded
10
00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:00.000
me and kept walking. For a
moment I thought it was the product of
11
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.120
my imagination, hoping that the strange
dog would just leave us alone. However,
12
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.120
I wasn' t so lucky.
As we advanced through the village,
13
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:15.000
the red- eyed dog followed us
at a distance, always keeping his gaze
14
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.719
fixed on us. I didn'
t know what to do at the time
15
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.719
or what exactly was going on.
The only thing I was aware of was
16
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:30.560
that something bad was coming. I
accelerated the pace, but the dog seemed
17
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:36.439
to follow us effortlessly, as if
he were playing with us, enjoying our
18
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.920
discomfort. When I came back to
look at the dog again, to my
19
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:46.359
relief, I was no longer shaking
my head trying to get rid of the
20
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:52.280
feeling of discomfort that had invaded me, but something told me that this meeting
21
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:56.400
would not be the last. When
I got home, I thought I'
22
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.439
d find out what happened to my
parents. However, I knew that one
23
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:04.599
way or another they were going to
worry about me or my attitude. When
24
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.520
I woke up the next day,
I noticed right away that something wasn'
25
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:14.319
t right with Max. The brightness
in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by
26
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:20.360
an opaque and lifeless look. He
was moving slowly. I tried to cheer
27
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.560
him up with his favorite toy and
caress him, but his response was minimal.
28
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:30.319
A feeling of panic began to grow
as I remembered the encounter with the
29
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.039
red- eyed dog. The night
before, without losing another second, I
30
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:40.120
took Max in my arms and addressed
the nearest veterinarian quickly. The trip was
31
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:46.800
tense. Fear was present as I
watched Max suffer in my arms every minute
32
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:52.919
that passed without an answer from my
dear friend. It was unbearable torture.
33
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.439
Finally we arrived at the veterinary clinic, where I was received by Dr.
34
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:06.159
Garcia. Without needing many words,
he explained that Max was experiencing an unexplained
35
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:12.000
collapse in his energy and vitality and
that he needed to undergo a series of
36
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:16.120
tests to determine the cause. While
Dr. Garcia was examining Max, I
37
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:22.680
sat in the waiting room waiting for
news. Every second felt like an eternity,
38
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:29.039
but something within me. I remembered
the red- eyed dog that appeared
39
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.280
on our way that night. I
knew I had something to do with my
40
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:38.199
puppy' s new behavior. There
was no other explanation for what was happening.
41
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:44.560
After several minutes, Dr. Garcia
came back with a slightly worrying look.
42
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.599
He explained to me that the results
of the tests were alarming. Max
43
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:54.840
was experiencing a rapid deterioration in his
health, as if something was slowly consuming
44
00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.560
his soul from within. That situation
was very strange. Max was a very
45
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:05.080
healthy dog and all the time he
had medical checks. It was almost impossible
46
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:11.680
for him to have a chronic illness
or time, as it always yielded positive
47
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.920
results. In thinking and analyzing things, my fears were confirmed. The red
48
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:21.120
- eyed dog had left a dark
shadow over my dear friend and now he
49
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.839
was fighting for his life. Determined
not to give up without a fight.
50
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:31.000
I prepared to face what happened,
but I had to make sure Max got
51
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.800
the care he needed so badly.
At nightfall, I headed for the forest
52
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:40.959
once again, determined to face the
red- eyed dog and claim my friend
53
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:46.199
' s life. I was really
scared, but I had to do something
54
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.079
about it. I knew it wasn' t going to be easy, because
55
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:55.439
I didn' t know the true
identity of that being who was chasing us
56
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:57.000
in the distance that day, but
I had to act now. There was
57
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.160
little time left. First day of
breeding to make a stop at my grandfather
58
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.360
' s house before going back into
the dark forest. My grandfather Peter was
59
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:11.160
a very wise and intelligent man.
Upon arriving at his home, I found
60
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:16.800
him sitting in his rocking chair watching
the landscape quickly sensed the concern that was
61
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:20.720
reflected in my eyes. At that
time, he asked me what I was
62
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:26.120
worried about. I told him all
about the encounter with the red- eyed
63
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.040
dog and Max' s sudden deterioration. For a moment I figured he'
64
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:35.399
d think I was crazy, but
I knew my grandfather would understand and maybe
65
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:41.879
have some answers to help us.
My grandfather listened silently with a thoughtful expression
66
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:46.040
on his face. Then, with
a sigh, he began to tell me
67
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:51.120
a story he had heard from his
own grandfather when he was young, a
68
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:55.759
story about the Red Eye dog.
According to legend, Red Eyes' dog
69
00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:00.839
was an ancient creature. He was
a guardian of the night who wandered the
70
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.759
world in search of lost souls.
It was said that those who crossed their
71
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:13.759
path were destined to suffer a terrible
curse, a curse that slowly consumed their
72
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.480
vitality, regardless of their gender,
physical condition, age or, in this
73
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:23.639
case, whether they were animals.
I listened attentively to every word of my
74
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:28.759
grandfather Peter, with his wisdom and
comforting words. I felt I had the
75
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:33.680
strength and knowledge to face it.
That old man warned me not to go
76
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:39.680
too far, for it was a
very important and delicate aspect to take lightly.
77
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:45.160
Not only was it a legend,
it was a reality that many of
78
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.000
the people wanted to avoid out of
fear of being consumed by such negative energy
79
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:55.160
that they brought with them. After
several minutes I said goodbye to my grandfather
80
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.920
that night. I had a very
scary dream. In it I headed one.
81
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.920
Once again into the dark and dangerous
forest ready to face my fate and
82
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:10.399
save my friend from the terrible curse
of the red- eyed dog. Once
83
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:15.279
I was ready in the woods,
I was getting deeper and deeper into my
84
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.800
flashlight, shaking in my hand.
That' s when for hours I wandered
85
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:24.240
through the trees desperately looking for some
trace of the cursed dog. But all
86
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.399
I found was the silence of the
forest and the feeling that something was watching
87
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.439
me in the distance. Suddenly,
a loud and chilling sound began to be
88
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:38.879
heard making me jump in surprise.
It was a howl, a howl that
89
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:43.120
seemed to emerge from the very depths
of the forest. I recognized that sound
90
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:48.399
immediately was the howl of max.
Automatically and thoughtlessly he ran in the direction
91
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:53.879
of sound. Ignoring the branches that
hit my face and the roots that could
92
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:59.199
make me stumble, all I wanted
to do was get to where my friend
93
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:05.399
was. I finally got to a
clearing in the woods and there I saw
94
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.920
a scene that icy blood in my
veins. Max was standing on the ground
95
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:15.360
motionless and with his eyes closed,
while the red- eyed dog stood on
96
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:20.360
him with a sinister smile on his
face. Those fiery eyes shone with hellish
97
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:28.879
intensity as they looked at me in
a penetrating way. Also at that time
98
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.200
I could see his huge black fur, which was impressive and at the same
99
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.600
time dark. I didn' t
really understand what was going on. It
100
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:43.919
was a nightmare that I definitely wanted
to end at that time I was afraid
101
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:50.039
of what could happen, both with
Max, but also with me. At
102
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.200
that moment I lost my vision of
time and threw myself forward screaming Max'
103
00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:00.440
s name as I faced the red- eyed dog. But instead of attacking
104
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:05.200
me, the dog just vanished.
I ran to Max and lifted him up
105
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:11.879
in my arms trembling with terror.
His heart was still beating weakly. I
106
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.960
knew we were far from safe.
I didn' t really understand what happened.
107
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.960
I was very confused things and moments
were beginning to lose meaning. Or
108
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.919
really I was the one who was
confused, or even mad at thinking about
109
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.679
that dog and so with the terror
that invaded me, I headed back home
110
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:37.519
with Max in my arms, praying
to find a way to break the curse.
111
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:45.679
Before it was too late I woke
up startled with a fear in my
112
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.440
chest, with the echo of the
howl, of the red- eyed dog
113
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:54.799
even in my ears slowly flashing to
acclimatize to the sunlight that was leaking between
114
00:09:54.840 --> 00:10:01.080
the curtains of my room. My
mind was confused, trying to understand between
115
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:07.440
reality and the dream I had just
experienced. I got out of bed trembling
116
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.879
with the persistent feeling that something wasn' t right. I looked around my
117
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:18.440
room looking for some sign of what
had happened, but everything seemed to be
118
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.320
in order, as if nothing had
changed. Ever since I went to sleep
119
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:28.679
the night before. Determined to find
answers, I dressed quickly and left my
120
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.879
house in the direction of the forest, even though it was daylight that there
121
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.440
was still a little fear of what
had happened. As I reached the edge
122
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.600
of the forest, I stopped and
there were no signs of unusual activity any
123
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:46.440
clue to what had happened that night. As the days passed, I felt
124
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:52.919
really confused. After my strange experience
in the woods, I tried to cling
125
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.519
to the idea that everything had been
just a dream. The persistent feeling that
126
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:03.360
dog existed was real. But even
in the midst of my own anguish,
127
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:09.559
my heart broke when Max finally,
after several days interned in the vet,
128
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:18.240
died that mysterious illness I had consumed
it in an impressive way since that night
129
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.200
in the forest. Seeing him leave
was like losing a part of myself,
130
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:30.519
a part I could never get back. As I watched his body, I
131
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.919
knew in the depths of my being
that his death had not been just a
132
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.600
natural tragedy. He had been a
victim of the Red- eyed dog,
133
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:45.279
an evil creature, full of terror
and despair. With a heart full of
134
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:50.120
pain. I swore to find a
way to put an end to the curse
135
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:56.039
that had taken my friend' s
life or at least to understand why these
136
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.679
things were happening. One day,
my grandfather came to my house. That
137
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.919
day made me understand that I could
not face a higher being and with a
138
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:07.600
greater energy. The Red Eyes dog
was not a mere creature of the forest.
139
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.360
It had a dark force that has
existed long before we walked on this
140
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.159
earth. Grandpa told me that the
red- eyed dog was an enemy that
141
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:24.240
was better to avoid than to face
him. He was pretty worried about me.
142
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.879
He decided to talk to my parents
and was already a man of enough
143
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:33.440
age to make my own decisions.
My parents were worried about knowing everything that
144
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.320
was going on in my life.
One way or another, they doubted what
145
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:43.799
was happening to me. Or that
that story was a lie that I myself
146
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.960
had created in the midst of my
despair. I knew my grandfather and my
147
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.440
parents were right. I couldn'
t fight an enemy beyond my reach.
148
00:12:54.720 --> 00:13:00.240
They tried to talk to me on
several occasions, making me understand that holding
149
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.320
on to that was only going to
bring consequences and damage to my health.
150
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:09.320
Listening to those words I came to
think that I was also deteriorating, perhaps
151
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:15.360
not in health, rather in an
aspect of anger and despair that all the
152
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:20.759
time dragged into my thoughts. As
the days passed. Every night, when
153
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:26.799
the darkness came, I could hear
the distant echo of the howl of the
154
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.440
red- eyed dog. I knew
it was a shadow that never seemed to
155
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:37.159
be far away, even in moments
of peace and tranquility. Despite my efforts
156
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.559
to ignore the sound, he pursued
me remembering the presence of that strange being.
157
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.879
I never really knew what it was
before if it was really a dog,
158
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:54.600
a known Nahual or just the same
devil that roamed the village. That
159
00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:01.159
question remained unresolved. The only thing
I knew and what I was sure of
160
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:07.360
was that the shadow that had chased
me was definitely something cursed, something from
161
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.759
another world that wanted evil for me. Every night, the howl became sharper,
162
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:18.559
more insistent, as if the red- eyed dog was calling my house
163
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:24.279
and knew what to face that dark
entity. It was too dangerous and risky
164
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:31.200
a task. The persistent call of
the howl tormented me me mercilessly. I
165
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.240
couldn' t understand things. Many
days had passed without stepping on the forest
166
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:41.120
or trying to face that situation in
one way or another. I thought something
167
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:46.879
would change. In carrying out those
actions to rid myself of the nightmares that
168
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:52.600
haunted me so much over time,
I came to accept that the red-
169
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:58.720
eyed dog was still a constant presence
in my life that would always be present,
170
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:05.120
even in the quietest moments. Those
eyes so penetrating were unforgettable they usually
171
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:11.639
appear vaguely in my dreams as if
they wanted to take over my being Really,
172
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.879
the situation led me to the brink
of madness. Even in some dreams.
173
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.960
That dog tries to bite me while
he looks at me with a hate.
174
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.919
The nearby inhabitants warned the travelers and
the curious not to venture into the
175
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:30.600
forest during the night, remembering the
story of the cursed dog as one of
176
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.639
the greatest dangers of the forest,
and at first many doubted that legend.
177
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.919
It was enough to see with his
own eyes that it was a reality and
178
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.960
that that dog, with red eyes, could appear before anyone passing through the
179
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:50.240
place. It was as if he
was hiding waiting for his own prey behind
180
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.960
the shadows of the trees. Years
later, when I had my own family,
181
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.879
I confined myself to commenting on what
had happened to me. I didn
182
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.559
' t want my children to know
that scary, sinister story I' d
183
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.799
lived. What was certain were the
limits I put on them when I did
184
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:14.480
not approach the forest. They knew
there was something wrong. Out there,
185
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:19.679
however, they never knew exactly my
story and for a moment, one of
186
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:25.720
my biggest fears was that that dog
in one way or another would approach them.
187
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:30.919
To date I knew it was a
risk I had to take for life.
188
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:37.080
Clearly, people whispered that I had
been a victim of that horror story
189
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.399
for many years. However, I
began to deny it. I wanted to
190
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.000
make the idea myself that it was
not true to stop damaging my tranquility.
191
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:52.000
All I wanted was to forget that
chapter of my life that had marked me
192
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.440
so much, as to remember the
sinisterness of those eyes, and most people
193
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:04.160
discarded history as simply a story or
legend. Those who had felt the dark
194
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:10.200
presence of the cursed dog knew that
the truth was much more frightening than anyone
195
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:15.400
could imagine. The fear that was
lived in that forest was indescribable. The
196
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:22.000
warning was not to venture into the
woods during the night, as it was
197
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:29.640
very likely that someone could meet that
red- eyed dog. A story written
198
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:30.119
and adapted by Andrea Lezama.
1
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:10.160
My nightmare began on a dark and
stormy night. When I met that sinister
2
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:16.480
for the first time, his presence
was like a peculiar shadow, barely perceptible.
3
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:22.039
Back then I was walking along with
my dog Max, down a lonely
4
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:26.839
path in the woods. After my
return. That' s when I saw
5
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:31.359
a medium- sized black dog with
a fur so dark that it was lost
6
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:36.159
at night. But what struck me
the most was his eyes, which were
7
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:42.479
so red that they seemed to burn
with supernatural intensity. At that moment,
8
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:49.399
Max grunted erecting his fur, but
the other dog remained motionless, watching us
9
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:54.359
with a penetrating look. I tried
to ignore the feeling of discomfort that invaded
10
00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:00.000
me and kept walking. For a
moment I thought it was the product of
11
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.120
my imagination, hoping that the strange
dog would just leave us alone. However,
12
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.120
I wasn' t so lucky.
As we advanced through the village,
13
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:15.000
the red- eyed dog followed us
at a distance, always keeping his gaze
14
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.719
fixed on us. I didn'
t know what to do at the time
15
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.719
or what exactly was going on.
The only thing I was aware of was
16
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:30.560
that something bad was coming. I
accelerated the pace, but the dog seemed
17
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:36.439
to follow us effortlessly, as if
he were playing with us, enjoying our
18
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.920
discomfort. When I came back to
look at the dog again, to my
19
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:46.359
relief, I was no longer shaking
my head trying to get rid of the
20
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:52.280
feeling of discomfort that had invaded me, but something told me that this meeting
21
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:56.400
would not be the last. When
I got home, I thought I'
22
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.439
d find out what happened to my
parents. However, I knew that one
23
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:04.599
way or another they were going to
worry about me or my attitude. When
24
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.520
I woke up the next day,
I noticed right away that something wasn'
25
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:14.319
t right with Max. The brightness
in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by
26
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:20.360
an opaque and lifeless look. He
was moving slowly. I tried to cheer
27
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.560
him up with his favorite toy and
caress him, but his response was minimal.
28
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:30.319
A feeling of panic began to grow
as I remembered the encounter with the
29
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.039
red- eyed dog. The night
before, without losing another second, I
30
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:40.120
took Max in my arms and addressed
the nearest veterinarian quickly. The trip was
31
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:46.800
tense. Fear was present as I
watched Max suffer in my arms every minute
32
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:52.919
that passed without an answer from my
dear friend. It was unbearable torture.
33
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.439
Finally we arrived at the veterinary clinic, where I was received by Dr.
34
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:06.159
Garcia. Without needing many words,
he explained that Max was experiencing an unexplained
35
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:12.000
collapse in his energy and vitality and
that he needed to undergo a series of
36
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:16.120
tests to determine the cause. While
Dr. Garcia was examining Max, I
37
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:22.680
sat in the waiting room waiting for
news. Every second felt like an eternity,
38
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:29.039
but something within me. I remembered
the red- eyed dog that appeared
39
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.280
on our way that night. I
knew I had something to do with my
40
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:38.199
puppy' s new behavior. There
was no other explanation for what was happening.
41
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:44.560
After several minutes, Dr. Garcia
came back with a slightly worrying look.
42
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.599
He explained to me that the results
of the tests were alarming. Max
43
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:54.840
was experiencing a rapid deterioration in his
health, as if something was slowly consuming
44
00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.560
his soul from within. That situation
was very strange. Max was a very
45
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:05.080
healthy dog and all the time he
had medical checks. It was almost impossible
46
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:11.680
for him to have a chronic illness
or time, as it always yielded positive
47
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.920
results. In thinking and analyzing things, my fears were confirmed. The red
48
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:21.120
- eyed dog had left a dark
shadow over my dear friend and now he
49
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.839
was fighting for his life. Determined
not to give up without a fight.
50
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:31.000
I prepared to face what happened,
but I had to make sure Max got
51
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.800
the care he needed so badly.
At nightfall, I headed for the forest
52
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:40.959
once again, determined to face the
red- eyed dog and claim my friend
53
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:46.199
' s life. I was really
scared, but I had to do something
54
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.079
about it. I knew it wasn' t going to be easy, because
55
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:55.439
I didn' t know the true
identity of that being who was chasing us
56
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:57.000
in the distance that day, but
I had to act now. There was
57
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.160
little time left. First day of
breeding to make a stop at my grandfather
58
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.360
' s house before going back into
the dark forest. My grandfather Peter was
59
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:11.160
a very wise and intelligent man.
Upon arriving at his home, I found
60
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:16.800
him sitting in his rocking chair watching
the landscape quickly sensed the concern that was
61
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:20.720
reflected in my eyes. At that
time, he asked me what I was
62
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:26.120
worried about. I told him all
about the encounter with the red- eyed
63
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.040
dog and Max' s sudden deterioration. For a moment I figured he'
64
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:35.399
d think I was crazy, but
I knew my grandfather would understand and maybe
65
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:41.879
have some answers to help us.
My grandfather listened silently with a thoughtful expression
66
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:46.040
on his face. Then, with
a sigh, he began to tell me
67
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:51.120
a story he had heard from his
own grandfather when he was young, a
68
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:55.759
story about the Red Eye dog.
According to legend, Red Eyes' dog
69
00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:00.839
was an ancient creature. He was
a guardian of the night who wandered the
70
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.759
world in search of lost souls.
It was said that those who crossed their
71
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:13.759
path were destined to suffer a terrible
curse, a curse that slowly consumed their
72
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.480
vitality, regardless of their gender,
physical condition, age or, in this
73
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:23.639
case, whether they were animals.
I listened attentively to every word of my
74
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:28.759
grandfather Peter, with his wisdom and
comforting words. I felt I had the
75
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:33.680
strength and knowledge to face it.
That old man warned me not to go
76
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:39.680
too far, for it was a
very important and delicate aspect to take lightly.
77
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:45.160
Not only was it a legend,
it was a reality that many of
78
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.000
the people wanted to avoid out of
fear of being consumed by such negative energy
79
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:55.160
that they brought with them. After
several minutes I said goodbye to my grandfather
80
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.920
that night. I had a very
scary dream. In it I headed one.
81
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.920
Once again into the dark and dangerous
forest ready to face my fate and
82
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:10.399
save my friend from the terrible curse
of the red- eyed dog. Once
83
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:15.279
I was ready in the woods,
I was getting deeper and deeper into my
84
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.800
flashlight, shaking in my hand.
That' s when for hours I wandered
85
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:24.240
through the trees desperately looking for some
trace of the cursed dog. But all
86
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.399
I found was the silence of the
forest and the feeling that something was watching
87
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.439
me in the distance. Suddenly,
a loud and chilling sound began to be
88
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:38.879
heard making me jump in surprise.
It was a howl, a howl that
89
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:43.120
seemed to emerge from the very depths
of the forest. I recognized that sound
90
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:48.399
immediately was the howl of max.
Automatically and thoughtlessly he ran in the direction
91
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:53.879
of sound. Ignoring the branches that
hit my face and the roots that could
92
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:59.199
make me stumble, all I wanted
to do was get to where my friend
93
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:05.399
was. I finally got to a
clearing in the woods and there I saw
94
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.920
a scene that icy blood in my
veins. Max was standing on the ground
95
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:15.360
motionless and with his eyes closed,
while the red- eyed dog stood on
96
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:20.360
him with a sinister smile on his
face. Those fiery eyes shone with hellish
97
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:28.879
intensity as they looked at me in
a penetrating way. Also at that time
98
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.200
I could see his huge black fur, which was impressive and at the same
99
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.600
time dark. I didn' t
really understand what was going on. It
100
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:43.919
was a nightmare that I definitely wanted
to end at that time I was afraid
101
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:50.039
of what could happen, both with
Max, but also with me. At
102
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.200
that moment I lost my vision of
time and threw myself forward screaming Max'
103
00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:00.440
s name as I faced the red- eyed dog. But instead of attacking
104
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:05.200
me, the dog just vanished.
I ran to Max and lifted him up
105
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:11.879
in my arms trembling with terror.
His heart was still beating weakly. I
106
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.960
knew we were far from safe.
I didn' t really understand what happened.
107
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.960
I was very confused things and moments
were beginning to lose meaning. Or
108
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.919
really I was the one who was
confused, or even mad at thinking about
109
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.679
that dog and so with the terror
that invaded me, I headed back home
110
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:37.519
with Max in my arms, praying
to find a way to break the curse.
111
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:45.679
Before it was too late I woke
up startled with a fear in my
112
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.440
chest, with the echo of the
howl, of the red- eyed dog
113
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:54.799
even in my ears slowly flashing to
acclimatize to the sunlight that was leaking between
114
00:09:54.840 --> 00:10:01.080
the curtains of my room. My
mind was confused, trying to understand between
115
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:07.440
reality and the dream I had just
experienced. I got out of bed trembling
116
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.879
with the persistent feeling that something wasn' t right. I looked around my
117
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:18.440
room looking for some sign of what
had happened, but everything seemed to be
118
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.320
in order, as if nothing had
changed. Ever since I went to sleep
119
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:28.679
the night before. Determined to find
answers, I dressed quickly and left my
120
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.879
house in the direction of the forest, even though it was daylight that there
121
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.440
was still a little fear of what
had happened. As I reached the edge
122
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.600
of the forest, I stopped and
there were no signs of unusual activity any
123
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:46.440
clue to what had happened that night. As the days passed, I felt
124
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:52.919
really confused. After my strange experience
in the woods, I tried to cling
125
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.519
to the idea that everything had been
just a dream. The persistent feeling that
126
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:03.360
dog existed was real. But even
in the midst of my own anguish,
127
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:09.559
my heart broke when Max finally,
after several days interned in the vet,
128
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:18.240
died that mysterious illness I had consumed
it in an impressive way since that night
129
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.200
in the forest. Seeing him leave
was like losing a part of myself,
130
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:30.519
a part I could never get back. As I watched his body, I
131
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.919
knew in the depths of my being
that his death had not been just a
132
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.600
natural tragedy. He had been a
victim of the Red- eyed dog,
133
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:45.279
an evil creature, full of terror
and despair. With a heart full of
134
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:50.120
pain. I swore to find a
way to put an end to the curse
135
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:56.039
that had taken my friend' s
life or at least to understand why these
136
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.679
things were happening. One day,
my grandfather came to my house. That
137
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.919
day made me understand that I could
not face a higher being and with a
138
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:07.600
greater energy. The Red Eyes dog
was not a mere creature of the forest.
139
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.360
It had a dark force that has
existed long before we walked on this
140
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.159
earth. Grandpa told me that the
red- eyed dog was an enemy that
141
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:24.240
was better to avoid than to face
him. He was pretty worried about me.
142
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.879
He decided to talk to my parents
and was already a man of enough
143
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:33.440
age to make my own decisions.
My parents were worried about knowing everything that
144
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.320
was going on in my life.
One way or another, they doubted what
145
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:43.799
was happening to me. Or that
that story was a lie that I myself
146
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.960
had created in the midst of my
despair. I knew my grandfather and my
147
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.440
parents were right. I couldn'
t fight an enemy beyond my reach.
148
00:12:54.720 --> 00:13:00.240
They tried to talk to me on
several occasions, making me understand that holding
149
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.320
on to that was only going to
bring consequences and damage to my health.
150
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:09.320
Listening to those words I came to
think that I was also deteriorating, perhaps
151
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:15.360
not in health, rather in an
aspect of anger and despair that all the
152
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:20.759
time dragged into my thoughts. As
the days passed. Every night, when
153
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:26.799
the darkness came, I could hear
the distant echo of the howl of the
154
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.440
red- eyed dog. I knew
it was a shadow that never seemed to
155
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:37.159
be far away, even in moments
of peace and tranquility. Despite my efforts
156
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.559
to ignore the sound, he pursued
me remembering the presence of that strange being.
157
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.879
I never really knew what it was
before if it was really a dog,
158
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:54.600
a known Nahual or just the same
devil that roamed the village. That
159
00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:01.159
question remained unresolved. The only thing
I knew and what I was sure of
160
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:07.360
was that the shadow that had chased
me was definitely something cursed, something from
161
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.759
another world that wanted evil for me. Every night, the howl became sharper,
162
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:18.559
more insistent, as if the red- eyed dog was calling my house
163
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:24.279
and knew what to face that dark
entity. It was too dangerous and risky
164
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:31.200
a task. The persistent call of
the howl tormented me me mercilessly. I
165
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.240
couldn' t understand things. Many
days had passed without stepping on the forest
166
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:41.120
or trying to face that situation in
one way or another. I thought something
167
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:46.879
would change. In carrying out those
actions to rid myself of the nightmares that
168
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:52.600
haunted me so much over time,
I came to accept that the red-
169
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:58.720
eyed dog was still a constant presence
in my life that would always be present,
170
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:05.120
even in the quietest moments. Those
eyes so penetrating were unforgettable they usually
171
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:11.639
appear vaguely in my dreams as if
they wanted to take over my being Really,
172
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.879
the situation led me to the brink
of madness. Even in some dreams.
173
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.960
That dog tries to bite me while
he looks at me with a hate.
174
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.919
The nearby inhabitants warned the travelers and
the curious not to venture into the
175
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:30.600
forest during the night, remembering the
story of the cursed dog as one of
176
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.639
the greatest dangers of the forest,
and at first many doubted that legend.
177
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.919
It was enough to see with his
own eyes that it was a reality and
178
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.960
that that dog, with red eyes, could appear before anyone passing through the
179
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:50.240
place. It was as if he
was hiding waiting for his own prey behind
180
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.960
the shadows of the trees. Years
later, when I had my own family,
181
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.879
I confined myself to commenting on what
had happened to me. I didn
182
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.559
' t want my children to know
that scary, sinister story I' d
183
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.799
lived. What was certain were the
limits I put on them when I did
184
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:14.480
not approach the forest. They knew
there was something wrong. Out there,
185
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:19.679
however, they never knew exactly my
story and for a moment, one of
186
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:25.720
my biggest fears was that that dog
in one way or another would approach them.
187
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:30.919
To date I knew it was a
risk I had to take for life.
188
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:37.080
Clearly, people whispered that I had
been a victim of that horror story
189
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.399
for many years. However, I
began to deny it. I wanted to
190
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.000
make the idea myself that it was
not true to stop damaging my tranquility.
191
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:52.000
All I wanted was to forget that
chapter of my life that had marked me
192
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.440
so much, as to remember the
sinisterness of those eyes, and most people
193
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:04.160
discarded history as simply a story or
legend. Those who had felt the dark
194
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:10.200
presence of the cursed dog knew that
the truth was much more frightening than anyone
195
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:15.400
could imagine. The fear that was
lived in that forest was indescribable. The
196
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:22.000
warning was not to venture into the
woods during the night, as it was
197
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:29.640
very likely that someone could meet that
red- eyed dog. A story written
198
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:30.119
