1
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:10.880
I am a heavy cargo carrier,
that journey I took was not my own,
2
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:14.160
but one of my companions was the
one I had assigned. His mother.
3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:18.600
He died suddenly. They talked to
me to cover it up. I
4
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:22.519
just got here from Mexicali, but
I didn' t doubt it. I
5
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:29.679
accepted the trip from Guadalajara to Mexico
City and then to Morelos. It was
6
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:34.679
rainy season, but I had run
lucky I didn' t get caught by
7
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:39.759
a very strong storm. On that
occasion, the sky was completely cloudy.
8
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:48.079
There was no star or moon.
There was a complete darkness as he advanced
9
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.679
on the road. He saw in
the sky the luminescent roots of the lightnings
10
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:59.359
that heralded the rain. Later,
light rain began to fall and later became
11
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:03.239
a very strong widow. I realized
that I was heading precisely for the part
12
00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:08.719
of the storm. For a moment
I thought to stop at some gas station
13
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:14.439
to wait for the intensity of the
rain to pass, but I decided not
14
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:15.680
to do so with the intention of
arriving in time to make the delivery.
15
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:23.480
The road was clearer than unusual there
was very little traffic. Only on occasion
16
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.519
did I see one car traveling.
On the contrary, I thought that private
17
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:34.519
car drivers had also decided to stay
at some specific point. As the water
18
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.120
progressed, it did not allow me
to have sufficient visibility. I was only
19
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.359
able to distinguish the headlights from the
other cars that lit up. In the
20
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:49.599
opposite sense, that' s when
I thought I should stop at a safe
21
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.560
place to wait for the rain to
decrease. I saw in the signet the
22
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.000
announcement of a sinuous and dangerous curve. As I got closer. The signs
23
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:04.079
advertised to be very careful. I
lowered the speed of the trailer to increase
24
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.400
the precautions. I was going to
a very slow pace. I had no
25
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.919
problem with any car or heavy cargo
transport that came after me, so I
26
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:17.280
more confidently increased the precautions. I
was on my way back from the wheel
27
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.919
because the rain no longer allowed me
to have visibility. I was just looking
28
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.360
for a place to stop, but
right on the curve I wasn' t
29
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.159
gonna find it. With the difficult
vision, I thought I saw a person
30
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:37.199
walking down the fence. Realizing that
maybe someone was on the dark, empty
31
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:43.039
road. I thought I' d
help her, but I couldn' t
32
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.080
see her anymore I went my way. It wasn' t wise for me
33
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.319
to stop at the bend. There
were no cars coming. The best thing
34
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.120
was not to expose myself. I
was feeling calmer. I turned on the
35
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:58.159
radio so the dream wouldn' t
catch me, but there wasn' t
36
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:02.879
enough signal. Only normal anger was
heard. As I got out of the
37
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.560
curve, I felt calmer. It
was strange, but it had been several
38
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:14.199
minutes without seeing any carrier pass.
As I resumed my path along the straight
39
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:19.039
road, the rain was still persistent. Suddenly I saw a woman standing in
40
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.560
the middle of the road. He
was carrying something in his arms. I
41
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.039
stopped right away and stopped at the
lockdown. I didn' t know what
42
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.840
had happened, nor because in that
dark place and without any civilization was that
43
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:38.400
woman. I was afraid I'
d run her over, but I wasn
44
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.680
' t sure she hadn' t. When suddenly a blow to the glass
45
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.719
of the co- pilot' s
seat made me jump. She was the
46
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:52.400
same woman I just saw. A
few seconds ago he hit the glass again
47
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.360
with his hand. It was quite
unusual. I didn' t hesitate to
48
00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:00.479
open the door. The rain was
still strong and it was not possible for
49
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.439
that woman to be alone in the
storm. I immediately opened the door to
50
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:10.000
him. The woman asked me for
help. She told me she had an
51
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.599
accident in the back and just wanted
to go to a place where she could
52
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.480
be helped. His car had been
destroyed. He needed a tow truck to
53
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:24.040
pick him up and talk to his
insurance company to take over. Of everything
54
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.560
it was true what that woman told
me, since her clothes had traces of
55
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.839
blood and from mud her face was
completely pale. In it the fear was
56
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:39.920
felt because any slight sound that listened, was altered and jumped by grabbing from
57
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:46.519
anywhere in the trailer to lighten the
journey a little. I tried to distract
58
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.319
her by talking to her about trivial
things. I asked him where he was
59
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:54.000
from and where he was going.
She didn' t answer my questions.
60
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:59.839
He was silent for a few seconds
before he started talking. I didn'
61
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.839
t interrupt her. I thought it
was the most appropriate way for him to
62
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:06.639
relax. He told me I was
going to my village, the one that
63
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.560
is very close there I was going
to meet my family. I went to
64
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:15.199
live in Mexico City to get a
better job. Now I' m going
65
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.240
to visit my parents' house,
who live very close to the center.
66
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:23.800
My dad is very well known because
he' s the one who sells traditional
67
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.519
empanadas outside the temple. She couldn' t keep talking. She was quiet
68
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.759
because I started to hear a baby
crying. It wasn' t possible.
69
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:35.600
I didn' t know where that
crying came from. The woman tried to
70
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:41.079
calm me down. When he saw
my nervousness and showed me his baby he
71
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:45.360
was so small he looked like a
doll. She didn' t say anything.
72
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.600
He stared at the creature. I
took off the sweater I was wearing
73
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:55.519
and gave it to cover the little
one. He brought a blanket that was
74
00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:00.680
already completely wet. The rain decreased
its intensity and there were still more curves,
75
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:05.120
not as dangerous as the first one. After a while, the baby
76
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:11.279
stopped crying and everything returned to calm. The woman was silent looking out into
77
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.720
nowhere with her stare lost. That' s when I gave him a little
78
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.319
more attention. He had extreme thinness. I could swear the skin was sticking
79
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:25.360
to the skeleton all of a sudden
as if he realized he was watching it.
80
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.160
He started telling me a story that
happened to him. He told me
81
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.399
that people live believing that when they
die there is a heaven or hell.
82
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:38.600
They also speak of a purgatory in
which they will cleanse their spirit in order
83
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.439
to transcend into heaven. But that' s a lie. She was quiet
84
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:48.360
as she looked out the window looking
desperately for someone. Then he went on
85
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:53.199
to say that after death there was
another world in which people continued to suffer.
86
00:06:54.759 --> 00:07:00.560
The woman was quiet for a few
minutes to tell me I met your
87
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:05.680
mother. When that woman told me
about my mom, I was very upset
88
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:11.879
with her because my mother had little
time to die. He had a matrix
89
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:16.160
cancer that metastasized his stomach and other
organs in his body, so he died
90
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:23.759
slowly and painfully. I told her
not to mess with my mother because she
91
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:29.480
didn' t even know me.
The best thing was for her to stay
92
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.720
quiet or get her out of the
trailer, but the woman didn' t
93
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:38.800
even immut herself. He went on
to say that my mom was in a
94
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.279
privileged place because she was no longer
suffering from stomach pains. She felt better
95
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:46.399
already, She looked extremely thin and
pale, but happy to no longer suffer
96
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:51.959
the bad was that an evil entity
pursued her. I didn' t let
97
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.560
him talk anymore. I had been
filled with chills as I realized that she
98
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.680
knew what my mother had died,
as she laughed until the end of her
99
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:07.639
days with severe stomach pains. It
was still raining, not with the same
100
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.560
intensity as it was a while ago, but the strong winds shook the trailer
101
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.759
at times. I asked her to
remain silent if she really wanted me to
102
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.600
take her to her village, but
I would bring her down and I would
103
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.560
have to stay in the darkness of
the forest getting wet along with her baby
104
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:33.279
she didn' t answer anything,
she just turned to see me with a
105
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:33.639
disturbing smile that scared me because she
showed me her yellow teeth. I couldn
106
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.879
' t take that anymore. As
soon as I could, I stopped the
107
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.000
trailer at the lockdown and asked him
to get off. I wouldn' t
108
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.720
take her to her village. The
woman didn' t even try to get
109
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:52.440
down. He sat there staring at
me with a somewhat frightening look. I
110
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:58.320
had the feeling that she realized that
I was afraid and I enjoyed it At
111
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.000
no time did I wake up.
I stared at him. That' s
112
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:09.200
when I realized that she didn'
t blink and had her pupils more dilated
113
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.159
than normal from an intense black.
She smiled telling me she had a message
114
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:18.399
from my mother. If he wanted
to tell me, I couldn' t
115
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.840
handle it. I didn' t
want her to tell me about her,
116
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.440
because her death still hurt me.
I got off to open the copilot'
117
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.919
s door. I told her almost
screaming to get off she didn' t
118
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.879
want to take her with me anymore. I didn' t mind getting wet
119
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.559
like that anymore. Raining, I
took her arm to her skin' s
120
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.480
contact with mine. She had it
cold, I' d say it was
121
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.360
cold, I let her go.
She understood that she would no longer take
122
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.519
her with me, so she quietly
got out of the trailer. I got
123
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.399
in the truck right away, but
when I wanted to turn it on,
124
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.840
it didn' t start. I
tried several times until I drowned the march.
125
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.000
In my desperation to leave the place, I did not take the necessary
126
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.919
precautions to prevent that from happening to
me. Now I had to wait longer
127
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.799
in that cold and desolate place with
that woman on the side, seeing me
128
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:16.440
disturbingly within a few seconds I tried
again and the truck ripped off. That
129
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.679
' s when I left the place
at full speed, leaving that strange woman
130
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.600
behind by the rearview mirror, I
kept seeing her standing still watching the truck
131
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.679
drive away. It wasn' t
long before I walked away from the place
132
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.799
where I left the woman. When
I started hearing a baby cry, it
133
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:41.480
wasn' t possible. I had
left it wrapped in the blanket. I
134
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.399
didn' t know what to do
if I came back to hand over your
135
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.360
son or flat toss him on the
road. I couldn' t keep hearing
136
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:56.080
the crying. Again I stopped to
see the child crying desperate to remove the
137
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:00.759
blanket, I could not believe what
I saw was the corpse of a baby
138
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:07.799
with the persistent almost rapping rain on
the road. So much was the impression
139
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.039
that I went straight to the retaining
wall of a hill. The trailer opened
140
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:16.919
and I couldn' t continue the
march. Scared, I grabbed the blanket
141
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.320
with the body and deposited it under
the top of a tree. The moment
142
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.799
I left him at that place,
a horrible sound began to be heard.
143
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.080
It was a woman' s deep
regret. I knew she was very close.
144
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:35.360
I was going to lock myself in
the trailer while I was talking to
145
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.240
my boss on the phone He immediately
responded to me and woke him up.
146
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:43.600
When I told him about the accident, he told me he' d get
147
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.279
help as soon as possible. I
was in a desolate and dark place.
148
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.919
I hadn' t even seen a
car drive through the road. I couldn
149
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:58.399
' t keep talking to my boss
anymore because the call cut off a strange
150
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.399
noise and its interference in the device
and it was impossible to try to restore
151
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.240
communication. I was inside the trailer
booth waiting any minute to see that woman
152
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:13.799
again who now understood that she was
not from this world. But in the
153
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.639
distance I began to hear the baby' s crying again. I looked through
154
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.080
the passenger' s rearview mirror,
and I could see her walking. I
155
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.919
was terrified. How would I keep
her from getting back into the trailer and
156
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:33.320
want to hurt me? I began
to tremble from fear when I saw that
157
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.440
she was getting closer and closer when
I was very close to the trailer.
158
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.919
I closed my eyes waiting for the
worst but she went away. He didn
159
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.000
' t even try to stop.
I didn' t know what to do
160
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.919
or think. I saw when his
silhouette was lost in the darkness of the
161
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.399
night, I noticed that the baby' s blanket had stayed in the copilot
162
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.759
' s seat. I wanted to
throw it out the window, but I
163
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.600
didn' t dare. I was
afraid that the woman would appear again at
164
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:07.600
that time. I left her in
her place. The rain was already calming
165
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:13.480
down and until two hours of being
there watching everywhere watching in case the woman
166
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:22.159
showed up. It was dawning and
at that time the help came. I
167
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.639
breathed relief when I saw the crane
coming in and parked in front of the
168
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.679
trailer. Only then did I dare
get out of the truck. The relaxed
169
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.120
man began to perform his work I
was distressed with the fear of seeing the
170
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:41.639
woman again turning around. I couldn' t hold back. I began to
171
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:46.879
tell him what I had seen and
that baby cry that made me sick all
172
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:52.320
the time, but the man told
me that there were many accidents going on
173
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.360
in that direction. Very often I
had work on that part of the road.
174
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:01.240
I interrupted him to ask him about
that woman who was carrying a baby
175
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.320
in her arms, but he couldn' t tell me anything about it.
176
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:13.480
He only replied that he had heard
some rumors, but nothing specific. And
177
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.200
honestly, he never went in the
morning to pick up anyone on the road,
178
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.279
because the spirit of the injured could
appear to him. The best thing
179
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.720
was to stay away from those places. That' s why he took so
180
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.679
long to get here. He never
went out in the morning for any customers.
181
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.919
The trailer was ready and in a
short time we arrived at the nearest
182
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.279
town. In daylight. That place
no longer looked dark, nor did it
183
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.200
feel the nervousness and fear of seeing
that woman again. At that time I
184
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:52.879
thought my mind had exaggerated the facts
and that maybe I saw and heard things
185
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:58.399
that weren' t real, all
generated by the fear I had. While
186
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.080
they were fixing the trailer thoroughly,
I went to a park for a while,
187
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.840
bought a soda and sat under a
tree. There was a group of
188
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:11.080
gentlemen talking. Among them I greeted
him and approached him with the intention of
189
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:16.440
asking them about the woman on the
road. When I asked them the question,
190
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:22.039
there was an uncomfortable moment because they
remained silent, but one of them
191
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.759
began to say that the woman on
the road was believed to be from the
192
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.399
village, because she came with some
frequency to visit her parents. She lived
193
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.639
there for many years. When he
grew up, he went to study and
194
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.679
work in Mexico City. On one
of the occasions he came to town,
195
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.679
he had a tragic accident. He
couldn' t handle the dangerous curve and
196
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.879
his car flipped. It was the
impact so strong that he lost his life
197
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.840
immediately. Like her little one,
I couldn' t believe what the man
198
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.440
told me was true She did exist. At that moment I remembered the baby
199
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.519
and told them I was crying all
the time. I thanked the villagers for
200
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.279
their help and left. I'
d rather go back to the workshop.
201
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:12.919
The mechanic explained to me what he
was doing to the truck, adding that
202
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:18.039
very little was missing. After a
few hours, I left town to continue
203
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:23.320
my delivery of the merchandise. I
was here for a few hours to get
204
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:27.240
back to my place of origin.
On returning I tried to avoid the same
205
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:32.360
road, but it was impossible to
do so. It was the fastest way.
206
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:38.039
The difference was that I walked through
it during the day all of a
207
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.799
sudden I came to distinguish the crying
from a baby. I looked everywhere hoping
208
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.080
to see the woman with her baby
in her arms, but she wasn'
209
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:49.320
t there. That' s when
I realized that the baby' s blanket
210
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:53.039
was in the seat. It was
all true. That was the evidence.
211
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.879
I grabbed the blanket and threw it
out the window. I got restless and
212
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:03.840
nervous. I didn' t see
anything strange anymore. During my return to
213
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:08.599
Guadalajara I was able to reflect on
death and beyond. That woman told me
214
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:14.240
about my mother as if she really
knew her, which meant that there was
215
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:22.960
another world parallel to ours, one
of brazen spirits and wandering souls. Story
216
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:30.119
written and adapted by Adriana Cuevas
1
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:10.880
I am a heavy cargo carrier,
that journey I took was not my own,
2
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:14.160
but one of my companions was the
one I had assigned. His mother.
3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:18.600
He died suddenly. They talked to
me to cover it up. I
4
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:22.519
just got here from Mexicali, but
I didn' t doubt it. I
5
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:29.679
accepted the trip from Guadalajara to Mexico
City and then to Morelos. It was
6
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:34.679
rainy season, but I had run
lucky I didn' t get caught by
7
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:39.759
a very strong storm. On that
occasion, the sky was completely cloudy.
8
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:48.079
There was no star or moon.
There was a complete darkness as he advanced
9
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.679
on the road. He saw in
the sky the luminescent roots of the lightnings
10
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:59.359
that heralded the rain. Later,
light rain began to fall and later became
11
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:03.239
a very strong widow. I realized
that I was heading precisely for the part
12
00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:08.719
of the storm. For a moment
I thought to stop at some gas station
13
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:14.439
to wait for the intensity of the
rain to pass, but I decided not
14
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:15.680
to do so with the intention of
arriving in time to make the delivery.
15
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:23.480
The road was clearer than unusual there
was very little traffic. Only on occasion
16
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.519
did I see one car traveling.
On the contrary, I thought that private
17
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:34.519
car drivers had also decided to stay
at some specific point. As the water
18
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.120
progressed, it did not allow me
to have sufficient visibility. I was only
19
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.359
able to distinguish the headlights from the
other cars that lit up. In the
20
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:49.599
opposite sense, that' s when
I thought I should stop at a safe
21
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.560
place to wait for the rain to
decrease. I saw in the signet the
22
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.000
announcement of a sinuous and dangerous curve. As I got closer. The signs
23
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:04.079
advertised to be very careful. I
lowered the speed of the trailer to increase
24
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.400
the precautions. I was going to
a very slow pace. I had no
25
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.919
problem with any car or heavy cargo
transport that came after me, so I
26
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:17.280
more confidently increased the precautions. I
was on my way back from the wheel
27
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.919
because the rain no longer allowed me
to have visibility. I was just looking
28
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.360
for a place to stop, but
right on the curve I wasn' t
29
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.159
gonna find it. With the difficult
vision, I thought I saw a person
30
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:37.199
walking down the fence. Realizing that
maybe someone was on the dark, empty
31
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:43.039
road. I thought I' d
help her, but I couldn' t
32
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.080
see her anymore I went my way. It wasn' t wise for me
33
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.319
to stop at the bend. There
were no cars coming. The best thing
34
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.120
was not to expose myself. I
was feeling calmer. I turned on the
35
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:58.159
radio so the dream wouldn' t
catch me, but there wasn' t
36
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:02.879
enough signal. Only normal anger was
heard. As I got out of the
37
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.560
curve, I felt calmer. It
was strange, but it had been several
38
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:14.199
minutes without seeing any carrier pass.
As I resumed my path along the straight
39
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:19.039
road, the rain was still persistent. Suddenly I saw a woman standing in
40
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.560
the middle of the road. He
was carrying something in his arms. I
41
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.039
stopped right away and stopped at the
lockdown. I didn' t know what
42
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.840
had happened, nor because in that
dark place and without any civilization was that
43
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:38.400
woman. I was afraid I'
d run her over, but I wasn
44
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.680
' t sure she hadn' t. When suddenly a blow to the glass
45
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.719
of the co- pilot' s
seat made me jump. She was the
46
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:52.400
same woman I just saw. A
few seconds ago he hit the glass again
47
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.360
with his hand. It was quite
unusual. I didn' t hesitate to
48
00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:00.479
open the door. The rain was
still strong and it was not possible for
49
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.439
that woman to be alone in the
storm. I immediately opened the door to
50
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:10.000
him. The woman asked me for
help. She told me she had an
51
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.599
accident in the back and just wanted
to go to a place where she could
52
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.480
be helped. His car had been
destroyed. He needed a tow truck to
53
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:24.040
pick him up and talk to his
insurance company to take over. Of everything
54
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.560
it was true what that woman told
me, since her clothes had traces of
55
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.839
blood and from mud her face was
completely pale. In it the fear was
56
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:39.920
felt because any slight sound that listened, was altered and jumped by grabbing from
57
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:46.519
anywhere in the trailer to lighten the
journey a little. I tried to distract
58
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.319
her by talking to her about trivial
things. I asked him where he was
59
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:54.000
from and where he was going.
She didn' t answer my questions.
60
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:59.839
He was silent for a few seconds
before he started talking. I didn'
61
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.839
t interrupt her. I thought it
was the most appropriate way for him to
62
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:06.639
relax. He told me I was
going to my village, the one that
63
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.560
is very close there I was going
to meet my family. I went to
64
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:15.199
live in Mexico City to get a
better job. Now I' m going
65
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.240
to visit my parents' house,
who live very close to the center.
66
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:23.800
My dad is very well known because
he' s the one who sells traditional
67
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.519
empanadas outside the temple. She couldn' t keep talking. She was quiet
68
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.759
because I started to hear a baby
crying. It wasn' t possible.
69
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:35.600
I didn' t know where that
crying came from. The woman tried to
70
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:41.079
calm me down. When he saw
my nervousness and showed me his baby he
71
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:45.360
was so small he looked like a
doll. She didn' t say anything.
72
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.600
He stared at the creature. I
took off the sweater I was wearing
73
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:55.519
and gave it to cover the little
one. He brought a blanket that was
74
00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:00.680
already completely wet. The rain decreased
its intensity and there were still more curves,
75
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:05.120
not as dangerous as the first one. After a while, the baby
76
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:11.279
stopped crying and everything returned to calm. The woman was silent looking out into
77
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.720
nowhere with her stare lost. That' s when I gave him a little
78
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.319
more attention. He had extreme thinness. I could swear the skin was sticking
79
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:25.360
to the skeleton all of a sudden
as if he realized he was watching it.
80
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.160
He started telling me a story that
happened to him. He told me
81
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.399
that people live believing that when they
die there is a heaven or hell.
82
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:38.600
They also speak of a purgatory in
which they will cleanse their spirit in order
83
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.439
to transcend into heaven. But that' s a lie. She was quiet
84
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:48.360
as she looked out the window looking
desperately for someone. Then he went on
85
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:53.199
to say that after death there was
another world in which people continued to suffer.
86
00:06:54.759 --> 00:07:00.560
The woman was quiet for a few
minutes to tell me I met your
87
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:05.680
mother. When that woman told me
about my mom, I was very upset
88
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:11.879
with her because my mother had little
time to die. He had a matrix
89
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:16.160
cancer that metastasized his stomach and other
organs in his body, so he died
90
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:23.759
slowly and painfully. I told her
not to mess with my mother because she
91
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:29.480
didn' t even know me.
The best thing was for her to stay
92
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.720
quiet or get her out of the
trailer, but the woman didn' t
93
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:38.800
even immut herself. He went on
to say that my mom was in a
94
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.279
privileged place because she was no longer
suffering from stomach pains. She felt better
95
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:46.399
already, She looked extremely thin and
pale, but happy to no longer suffer
96
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:51.959
the bad was that an evil entity
pursued her. I didn' t let
97
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.560
him talk anymore. I had been
filled with chills as I realized that she
98
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.680
knew what my mother had died,
as she laughed until the end of her
99
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:07.639
days with severe stomach pains. It
was still raining, not with the same
100
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.560
intensity as it was a while ago, but the strong winds shook the trailer
101
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.759
at times. I asked her to
remain silent if she really wanted me to
102
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.600
take her to her village, but
I would bring her down and I would
103
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.560
have to stay in the darkness of
the forest getting wet along with her baby
104
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:33.279
she didn' t answer anything,
she just turned to see me with a
105
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:33.639
disturbing smile that scared me because she
showed me her yellow teeth. I couldn
106
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.879
' t take that anymore. As
soon as I could, I stopped the
107
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.000
trailer at the lockdown and asked him
to get off. I wouldn' t
108
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.720
take her to her village. The
woman didn' t even try to get
109
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:52.440
down. He sat there staring at
me with a somewhat frightening look. I
110
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:58.320
had the feeling that she realized that
I was afraid and I enjoyed it At
111
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.000
no time did I wake up.
I stared at him. That' s
112
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:09.200
when I realized that she didn'
t blink and had her pupils more dilated
113
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.159
than normal from an intense black.
She smiled telling me she had a message
114
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:18.399
from my mother. If he wanted
to tell me, I couldn' t
115
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.840
handle it. I didn' t
want her to tell me about her,
116
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.440
because her death still hurt me.
I got off to open the copilot'
117
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.919
s door. I told her almost
screaming to get off she didn' t
118
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.879
want to take her with me anymore. I didn' t mind getting wet
119
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.559
like that anymore. Raining, I
took her arm to her skin' s
120
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.480
contact with mine. She had it
cold, I' d say it was
121
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.360
cold, I let her go.
She understood that she would no longer take
122
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.519
her with me, so she quietly
got out of the trailer. I got
123
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.399
in the truck right away, but
when I wanted to turn it on,
124
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.840
it didn' t start. I
tried several times until I drowned the march.
125
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.000
In my desperation to leave the place, I did not take the necessary
126
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.919
precautions to prevent that from happening to
me. Now I had to wait longer
127
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.799
in that cold and desolate place with
that woman on the side, seeing me
128
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:16.440
disturbingly within a few seconds I tried
again and the truck ripped off. That
129
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.679
' s when I left the place
at full speed, leaving that strange woman
130
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.600
behind by the rearview mirror, I
kept seeing her standing still watching the truck
131
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.679
drive away. It wasn' t
long before I walked away from the place
132
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.799
where I left the woman. When
I started hearing a baby cry, it
133
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:41.480
wasn' t possible. I had
left it wrapped in the blanket. I
134
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.399
didn' t know what to do
if I came back to hand over your
135
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.360
son or flat toss him on the
road. I couldn' t keep hearing
136
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:56.080
the crying. Again I stopped to
see the child crying desperate to remove the
137
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:00.759
blanket, I could not believe what
I saw was the corpse of a baby
138
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:07.799
with the persistent almost rapping rain on
the road. So much was the impression
139
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.039
that I went straight to the retaining
wall of a hill. The trailer opened
140
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:16.919
and I couldn' t continue the
march. Scared, I grabbed the blanket
141
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.320
with the body and deposited it under
the top of a tree. The moment
142
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.799
I left him at that place,
a horrible sound began to be heard.
143
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.080
It was a woman' s deep
regret. I knew she was very close.
144
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:35.360
I was going to lock myself in
the trailer while I was talking to
145
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.240
my boss on the phone He immediately
responded to me and woke him up.
146
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:43.600
When I told him about the accident, he told me he' d get
147
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.279
help as soon as possible. I
was in a desolate and dark place.
148
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.919
I hadn' t even seen a
car drive through the road. I couldn
149
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:58.399
' t keep talking to my boss
anymore because the call cut off a strange
150
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.399
noise and its interference in the device
and it was impossible to try to restore
151
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.240
communication. I was inside the trailer
booth waiting any minute to see that woman
152
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:13.799
again who now understood that she was
not from this world. But in the
153
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.639
distance I began to hear the baby' s crying again. I looked through
154
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.080
the passenger' s rearview mirror,
and I could see her walking. I
155
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.919
was terrified. How would I keep
her from getting back into the trailer and
156
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:33.320
want to hurt me? I began
to tremble from fear when I saw that
157
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.440
she was getting closer and closer when
I was very close to the trailer.
158
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.919
I closed my eyes waiting for the
worst but she went away. He didn
159
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.000
' t even try to stop.
I didn' t know what to do
160
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.919
or think. I saw when his
silhouette was lost in the darkness of the
161
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.399
night, I noticed that the baby' s blanket had stayed in the copilot
162
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.759
' s seat. I wanted to
throw it out the window, but I
163
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.600
didn' t dare. I was
afraid that the woman would appear again at
164
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:07.600
that time. I left her in
her place. The rain was already calming
165
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:13.480
down and until two hours of being
there watching everywhere watching in case the woman
166
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:22.159
showed up. It was dawning and
at that time the help came. I
167
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.639
breathed relief when I saw the crane
coming in and parked in front of the
168
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.679
trailer. Only then did I dare
get out of the truck. The relaxed
169
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.120
man began to perform his work I
was distressed with the fear of seeing the
170
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:41.639
woman again turning around. I couldn' t hold back. I began to
171
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:46.879
tell him what I had seen and
that baby cry that made me sick all
172
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:52.320
the time, but the man told
me that there were many accidents going on
173
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.360
in that direction. Very often I
had work on that part of the road.
174
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:01.240
I interrupted him to ask him about
that woman who was carrying a baby
175
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.320
in her arms, but he couldn' t tell me anything about it.
176
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:13.480
He only replied that he had heard
some rumors, but nothing specific. And
177
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.200
honestly, he never went in the
morning to pick up anyone on the road,
178
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.279
because the spirit of the injured could
appear to him. The best thing
179
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.720
was to stay away from those places. That' s why he took so
180
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.679
long to get here. He never
went out in the morning for any customers.
181
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.919
The trailer was ready and in a
short time we arrived at the nearest
182
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.279
town. In daylight. That place
no longer looked dark, nor did it
183
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.200
feel the nervousness and fear of seeing
that woman again. At that time I
184
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:52.879
thought my mind had exaggerated the facts
and that maybe I saw and heard things
185
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:58.399
that weren' t real, all
generated by the fear I had. While
186
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.080
they were fixing the trailer thoroughly,
I went to a park for a while,
187
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.840
bought a soda and sat under a
tree. There was a group of
188
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:11.080
gentlemen talking. Among them I greeted
him and approached him with the intention of
189
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:16.440
asking them about the woman on the
road. When I asked them the question,
190
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:22.039
there was an uncomfortable moment because they
remained silent, but one of them
191
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.759
began to say that the woman on
the road was believed to be from the
192
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.399
village, because she came with some
frequency to visit her parents. She lived
193
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.639
there for many years. When he
grew up, he went to study and
194
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.679
work in Mexico City. On one
of the occasions he came to town,
195
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.679
he had a tragic accident. He
couldn' t handle the dangerous curve and
196
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.879
his car flipped. It was the
impact so strong that he lost his life
197
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.840
immediately. Like her little one,
I couldn' t believe what the man
198
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.440
told me was true She did exist. At that moment I remembered the baby
199
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.519
and told them I was crying all
the time. I thanked the villagers for
200
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.279
their help and left. I'
d rather go back to the workshop.
201
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:12.919
The mechanic explained to me what he
was doing to the truck, adding that
202
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:18.039
very little was missing. After a
few hours, I left town to continue
203
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:23.320
my delivery of the merchandise. I
was here for a few hours to get
204
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:27.240
back to my place of origin.
On returning I tried to avoid the same
205
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:32.360
road, but it was impossible to
do so. It was the fastest way.
206
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:38.039
The difference was that I walked through
it during the day all of a
207
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.799
sudden I came to distinguish the crying
from a baby. I looked everywhere hoping
208
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.080
to see the woman with her baby
in her arms, but she wasn'
209
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:49.320
t there. That' s when
I realized that the baby' s blanket
210
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:53.039
was in the seat. It was
all true. That was the evidence.
211
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.879
I grabbed the blanket and threw it
out the window. I got restless and
212
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:03.840
nervous. I didn' t see
anything strange anymore. During my return to
213
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:08.599
Guadalajara I was able to reflect on
death and beyond. That woman told me
214
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:14.240
about my mother as if she really
knew her, which meant that there was
215
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:22.960
another world parallel to ours, one
of brazen spirits and wandering souls. Story
