Una Tradición Familiar Me Maldice Historias De Terror - REDE

1
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:09.199
I' m twenty- nine.
My name is José Martín. I was

2
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:14.359
working. When they called me on
the phone, I picked up the headset

3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.120
and asked who it was. At
first I didn' t understand what they

4
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:20.800
were telling me, because the person
on the other side of the line was

5
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.399
crying. I asked him to calm
down, because I couldn' t understand

6
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:29.719
him. After a few seconds he
breathed deeply and spoke to me more clearly.

7
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.920
I recognized the voice as that of
my aunt Celina, my mother'

8
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:39.840
s older sister. He told me
that something serious had happened and it was

9
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:44.759
important for the whole family to get
together, because Grandpa had been found dead

10
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:49.119
in his room. Honestly, Grandpa, I didn' t appreciate him very

11
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.679
much. He scolded me enough and
on several occasions hit me with the belt

12
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:58.119
just because he didn' t like
what he was doing. I didn'

13
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.640
t mean to be rude I asked
my aunt to contact my mother in preference,

14
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.799
because she would want to say goodbye
to Grandpa, but my aunt insisted,

15
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:11.959
arguing that it was very necessary for
us to fire him. He couldn

16
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:18.239
' t keep his body like that. I repeated the same, and then

17
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.159
I hung up the truth. That
call remained in my mind for a very

18
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:26.680
short time. After a couple of
hours, I forgot everything and went on

19
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.680
with my activities. When I came
home and opened the door, I met

20
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:36.480
my mother in grief. He couldn' t calm down. That' s

21
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:41.200
when I remembered my Aunt Celina'
s call. I tried to comfort my

22
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.760
mother, even though in the past
she had fought a lot with her father.

23
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.000
Now he regretted it. She asked
my father to take her and accompany

24
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:56.439
her. I wanted to refuse,
but I didn' t see the right

25
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:57.599
opportunity to say it that way.
I already had a trip to see the

26
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.519
family. My mother' s family, for the most part, lives in

27
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.840
a retired town in the city.
There are still ranches in that place where

28
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:13.879
they have cattle and my grandfather had
several animals. Since I remember on my

29
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.639
way to the funeral place, I
remembered the last time I had seen my

30
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:22.960
mother' s family. I was
surprised to see that seventeen years had passed.

31
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.439
When we arrived hundreds of faces turned
to see us. Many of the

32
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:31.719
cousins I lived with had grown up
quite a bit. Some had even family

33
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:37.879
and were much younger than me.
Who received us was my Aunt Celina,

34
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:43.159
but I preferred to get away from
everyone to say hello and went straight to

35
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.039
see my deceased grandfather. When I
got to the coffin, I realized it

36
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:52.120
was open. I couldn' t
stand the curiosity and wanted to see how

37
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:57.240
my grandfather was now, after seventeen
years of not seeing him, but when

38
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.039
I looked I was empty bewildered.
I looked around for any bad jokes,

39
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:07.280
but they all seemed plunged into their
sadness. One of my cousins came up

40
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.680
to me and asked me if I
was okay with how I trusted him.

41
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:16.439
I asked him where Grandpa was.
My cousin pointed me to a locked room

42
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:23.080
with wooden doors. I was quite
puzzled by this situation. I didn'

43
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.800
t understand why Grandpa' s body
was outside the coffin. I asked my

44
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.599
cousin and he replied that it was
normal, that there was nothing strange about

45
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:37.919
it. Family traditions are very strange. Still, I approached to see what

46
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:42.280
was going on. Suddenly before she
came to the door, she opened up

47
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.719
and from it came a cousin had
her mouth covered by one of her hands.

48
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:51.159
He saw me and recognized me.
She was Patricia, with whom I

49
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.599
used to hang out as kids.
After he greeted me, he asked me

50
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:59.479
if I would tell him my secrets. I told Grandpa I didn' t

51
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:03.759
know what he was talking about and
then he explained this strange tradition to me.

52
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.800
Grandpa' s body was lying on
a table right in the middle of

53
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.840
the room. Each member of the
family could approach in private and tell him

54
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:19.279
some secret. In the ear.
My cousin told me it was a bit

55
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:25.199
of a repairer and helped heal old
wounds. He asked me to come by

56
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.000
and tell him something, but I
really had nothing to say to him.

57
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.959
That old man mistreated me when I
was little. I always wanted to get

58
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.600
back at him and show him how
much he hurt me. That' s

59
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.720
when I remembered a secret I kept
for a long time. I told my

60
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.759
cousin it would happen. They opened
the door and I entered the room.

61
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.319
My cousin came in with me just
to explain to me that she could take

62
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:59.639
as much time as she wanted,
only when she finished she had to say

63
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.000
in the ear it' s a
secret that my Mi cousin, Patricia,

64
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:03.920
kept in the room and told me
that she would wait for me to go

65
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:09.000
to dinner. Before me was my
grandfather' s dead body. He seemed

66
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:14.800
to sleep peacefully. I cleared my
throat several times to talk, but there

67
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:16.959
was something I wouldn' t let
myself do. I don' t know

68
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.199
if it was embarrassing to tell him
what I thought. Or that this seemed

69
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.759
ridiculous to me, but I wanted
to participate in this. I wanted to

70
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.439
tell you my secret. I approached
his ear and told him that I had

71
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.879
killed some chickens that had cages because
I had been hit with a belt.

72
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:40.040
I retired from the body and stayed
for a few minutes watching him. I

73
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:45.399
really felt free to say this to
you. Then I stepped aside and turned

74
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.720
my back on him. I already
felt ready to leave the room, when

75
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:55.959
suddenly I could hear a very large
inhalation. It seemed like something was sucking

76
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.399
the air out of the room.
I turned around and immediately saw my grandfather

77
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.279
' s mouth open. It was
he who was sucking the air and making

78
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:12.759
a scary noise. Suddenly he was
silent. His legs were picked up and

79
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.240
it looked like he wanted to get
up terrified. I went to a corner

80
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:20.759
of the room. He could not
think clearly at that moment, as he

81
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:27.160
tried to analyze what was happening.
My grandfather' s body sat alone with

82
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:32.399
his white eyes. Looking at me
and mouth still open. I started screaming.

83
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:39.040
I screamed for help several times,
but I don' t think they

84
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.480
could hear me all of a sudden. My cousin opened the door just to

85
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:46.800
check on how he was going and
he saw my grandfather sitting down quickly came

86
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.839
up to him and put him back
to bed. Everything calmed down all of

87
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:54.839
a sudden. Several cousins and uncles
came in to see what was happening.

88
00:06:55.519 --> 00:07:00.800
They saw me sitting in a corner. I could barely breathe, my cousin.

89
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.519
As he approached me, he told
me that it was normal for those

90
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:08.759
things to happen. It had happened
to them a long time ago with a

91
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.759
small cousin. They tried to calm
me down. I was really scared of

92
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.399
what happened to me. My parents
came up to me and gave me a

93
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:21.480
little tequila to calm me down soon. My cousin came by for me and

94
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:27.519
asked me out to get some dinner
as we were walking. She told me

95
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:32.319
the secret she had told Grandpa.
Surprisingly he was the same one I told

96
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:38.279
him. She had helped me in
our revenge with Grandpa. In a way,

97
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:43.040
I was relieved to know that I
had my cousin. She had been

98
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:47.199
a great support when she was little. Hours later, Grandpa' s body

99
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:53.079
was returned to the coffin. We
were all present during that moment. Then

100
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:58.759
they sealed it and prayed a rosary. I was very tired. We had

101
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:03.360
traveled for hours by car and wanted
to sleep for this. My cousin offered

102
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.720
us her house to the whole family. Upon arriving at the house, I

103
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:13.920
went straight to bed in the first
room I saw I was so sleepy that

104
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:18.199
I didn' t realize which room
I had chosen. I still felt a

105
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.920
little restless about what had happened to
me with Grandpa. His body sitting at

106
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.800
the table passed through my mind again
and again I felt so restless that any

107
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:33.559
shadow I saw made me nervous.
I don' t know when I fell

108
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.320
asleep. It started to get cold. I felt that the atmosphere was freezing

109
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.080
and no matter how much blankets I
had on me, it wasn' t

110
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.000
enough. Then I could feel something
climbing on the edge of the bed.

111
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.320
I took off my blankets thinking maybe
it was my cousin' s cat,

112
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.919
but there was nothing. Immediately the
bed sank a little more as if a

113
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.919
large person had climbed into it she, but she was invisible somewhat restless.

114
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.279
I sat in bed and watched where
I could perceive this, and then I

115
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.879
heard the same noise as when I
was with Grandpa in the room, and

116
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:18.480
then I heard it. They yelled
at me in the ear the word go

117
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:24.200
away. It sounded so loud,
I had to step aside whatever it was.

118
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.360
I didn' t realize he was
by my side. His voice was

119
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.919
still rumbling in my head I quickly
got up and turned on the light.

120
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:39.080
Then I realized where I was.
It was my grandfather' s room,

121
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.080
his portraits, his stuff, his
clothes. I couldn' t believe I

122
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:48.240
didn' t realize where I was. There were so many rooms and I

123
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.360
went to choose her from Grandpa.
I had to get out. I couldn

124
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.559
' t stay in it. I
found no explanation for what had happened to

125
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.480
me a few seconds ago, but
I really couldn' t stand it there

126
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:07.279
anymore. Outside the room there is
a vasillo that connects with the other rooms.

127
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.039
I realized we weren' t the
only ones in the house. There

128
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:16.600
was more family that was already asleep. Even though it was dark. I

129
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.240
could tell there was an armchair in
front of me and I slept on it.

130
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.840
I thought I' d be safe. It was cold outside too with

131
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.159
my vest, I tried to cover
myself as much as I could. Everything

132
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.759
was so dark that I couldn'
t see well just a meter or two

133
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.159
beyond me. I closed my eyes
and when I set out to sleep,

134
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:43.039
I could clearly hear someone' s
footsteps approaching where I was. I thought

135
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.360
I' d fall asleep to avoid
awkward questions. I only heard how that

136
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.960
person approached, had no idea who
he was. All I knew was that

137
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:58.559
it was already very close. Suddenly
I had the feeling that that person had

138
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:03.399
stood right in front of me.
I continued with my plan to fall asleep

139
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:09.519
and ignore him but could perceive his
presence. I thought it best to turn

140
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.039
around and turn your back. That
way I' d know I was ignoring

141
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.679
him. I set out to turn
my body, but just before I did,

142
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.720
I felt a heavy hand over my
chest that inevitably stopped me. I

143
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.639
opened my eyes and terrified. I
realized it was my grandfather, who kept

144
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:33.399
his gaze fixed on me I yelled
at him to leave. I had already

145
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:39.000
died and had to rest in peace, but as much as I shouted I

146
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.679
still felt his hand on my chest. I closed my eyes and tried to

147
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.360
get up, but his hand kept
me lying. A light went off and

148
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.919
the pressure on my chest disappeared.
It was my cousin who, apparently,

149
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:58.200
had barely arrived and lit the light. He noticed my situation. I could

150
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.120
barely breathe I couldn' t hide
it anymore. I told my cousin about

151
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:07.519
what had happened to me almost at
the bottom of my heart, missed by

152
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.240
what I had just told her.
She asked me if I finished doing all

153
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.759
the steps she told me when she
confessed to her secrets. Grandpa I said

154
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:20.120
yes, and then she asked me
if in my ear I told Grandpa it

155
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:26.039
was a secret I had kept.
I was shocked. I hadn' t

156
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.120
really said it, I had completely
forgotten it. My cousin told me that

157
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.840
' s what the secret was with
the dead man and it was part of

158
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:39.480
the tradition. Everything indicated that Grandpa
would now pursue me, because it was

159
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.519
the only secret he wouldn' t
stay with. My cousin told me that

160
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.919
I might have a chance to fix
everything, but we had to hurry up

161
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.799
Grandpa' s body. They'
d incinerate him soon and we had to

162
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:58.679
go back to the funeral home.
In the morning we went My cousin had

163
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.559
a motorcycle and, being a little
village, was not far from us the

164
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.519
place we were going to. We
got out as fast as we could.

165
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.200
I only had in mind what I
had to say to Grandpa in my ear.

166
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.799
At the same time I thought that
if we didn' t get there

167
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.679
on time, Grandpa would chase me
for the rest of my life. When

168
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.559
I arrived at the funeral home,
I realized that there were still some relatives.

169
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:28.720
There were few, but luckily they
had stayed until the last few minutes.

170
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.840
Immediately, my cousin contacted someone in
charge to give us permission to pass,

171
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:39.360
we arrived at the chapel we had
rented and there was the grandfather inside

172
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.039
his coffin. My cousin approached me
and asked me to do what was necessary

173
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:50.200
to calm my grandfather' s spirit. She couldn' t stay if she

174
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:56.200
followed tradition. This I had to
do only my heart was pounding. As

175
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:01.840
I approached the casket, I felt
each step rumbling in the empty chapel creating

176
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:07.559
an echo. The chapel was barely
illuminated by the poor yellow light of a

177
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:13.559
few candles that were still twinkling.
I approached my grandfather' s body,

178
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.399
which lay in the coffin with a
serene expression, but I could not forget

179
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.039
what I had seen before. His
white eyes open, his mouth inhaling air

180
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:28.639
with that creepy sound, I was
sweating and shaking I came closer to the

181
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:33.600
coffin I could hear my breath cut. I put my hands on the coffin

182
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.600
and realized I was shaking. I
tried to speak at first, but my

183
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:43.399
words were a simple whisper I approached
his ear and whispered to him. It

184
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.759
' s a secret I had kept. I waited silently trying to keep calm,

185
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.960
but deep down in my mind,
a latent fear grew with every second

186
00:14:54.039 --> 00:15:00.559
passing by. I kept thinking about
whether that had been enough if at last

187
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:05.519
this whole nightmare would be over all
of a sudden. The air in the

188
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.759
chapel became very cold. I looked
around and noticed the candles were starting to

189
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:16.399
go out. A cold breeze swept
through the whole chapel and then I felt

190
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.799
it right behind me there was a
presence. I didn' t have to

191
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.480
go back and see her. I
knew there was someone behind me and it

192
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.879
wasn' t exactly a good thing. A chill swept through my spine.

193
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:35.639
I barely felt that presence placing his
hand on my shoulder. Fear was taking

194
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:41.279
over me. Any minute now I
had to escape my heart. I was

195
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.039
beating so hard that I thought I' d get a fulminant stoppage. I

196
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:50.360
could hear a slight murmur, he
told me something, but I couldn'

197
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:52.080
t understand him, but it was
my grandfather' s voice. It was

198
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.639
echoing and distorted and as he spoke
his hand to me on my shoulder.

199
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:02.519
It was getting heavier and I was
squeezing my eyesight very hard. It started

200
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:07.480
to cloud me. I began to
notice that I was losing consciousness the pressure

201
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:15.120
I felt was very great and I
could not with her in case it was

202
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:17.639
too little I could feel like a
cold hand. I was taking my right

203
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:22.080
arm. I tried to run away, but my energies were missing. I

204
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:25.960
couldn' t scream, because I
felt like I was drowning. He had

205
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:30.320
little strength. I tried to do
the last thing I could again. I

206
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.240
tried to step aside and yelled at
him to leave me alone. My voice

207
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.399
resonated in the chapel. I made
it as strong as I could. I

208
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.360
yelled at him again to leave me. I told her that she had told

209
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:47.679
him everything and that I had to
rest suddenly the pressure on my shoulder and

210
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:52.519
the cold hand turned away. The
chapel seemed totally quiet in my mind there

211
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:57.559
was all chaos. I tried to
calm down whatever happened. He made Grandpa

212
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:04.319
go away I took a deep breath
and sat down I could feel my shirt

213
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:12.039
stuck to my chest by sweat.
I was tired I came out of the

214
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.559
chapel tottering I felt that my legs
were made of gelatin and that they were

215
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:21.680
barely holding me. Outside was my
cousin, Patricia saw me and ran to

216
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:27.000
me to help me walk. His
face was full of concern. He asked

217
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:32.039
me if I was okay. I
told him I thought so, but I

218
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:36.440
wasn' t quite sure yet.
I told him what happened, but I

219
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:40.799
didn' t understand why Grandpa was
still bothering me. After I closed the

220
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:45.240
tradition with him. Patricia didn'
t know either. He just told me

221
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:51.119
to go home and get some rest. It wasn' t long before Grandpa

222
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:56.920
was cremated while we were moving away
from the funeral home, I couldn'

223
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.559
t shake the feeling that something was
going on wrong for some reason. I

224
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:06.319
had a strange feeling that my grandfather’ s spirit had not been completely calmed

225
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:11.599
and I thought that perhaps I had
awakened him even more from his death.

226
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:18.319
That night back at Patricia and Grandpa' s house, I tried to sleep,

227
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.880
but the events of the day didn' t leave me alone. I

228
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.640
turned around. The eyes were wide
open. I watched every shadow you could

229
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:33.559
see. I felt like my grandfather' s spirit was there watching me and

230
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.880
waiting for the most appropriate time to
torture me. Just as I was about

231
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:42.400
to fall asleep, I heard a
whisper in my ear that mentioned my name

232
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:51.200
was my once again desperate grandfather,
shook my arms to keep him away from

233
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:55.279
me. I asked him to leave
me alone, but the voice was still

234
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:59.119
behind me. I got up and
went for a walk without meaning or direction

235
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:03.640
or just that I either wanted to
escape and get away from there. I

236
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.720
walked a lot. It was almost
dawn that I could see how far away

237
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:12.000
the sun was already appearing. The
least I could tell. I had gone

238
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:15.960
deep into the cornfields and, for
my bad luck, I was right in

239
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:21.480
the place where my grandfather used to
keep his chickens. There were a few

240
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:26.000
still asleep. I kept standing watching
them all the time and without realizing it.

241
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.960
Right next to me was a huge
rooster who seemed to be looking after

242
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:36.680
the chickens. The rooster looked at
me with penetrating eyes as if he could

243
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:41.119
see through me each of his movements
was slow and calculated, as if he

244
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:47.880
were assessing whether I was a threat. Despite his penetrating gaze. I slowly

245
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:52.200
approached the chickens I felt a strange
mixture of regret and guilt. Seeing them

246
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:57.480
remembering how my cousin and I had
taken it out on them because of Grandpa

247
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:03.039
' s ill- treatment. Suddenly, I felt a chill running around my

248
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.720
back in the darkness of the cornfields. I looked at a figure was my

249
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:12.119
grandfather standing with the same severe expression
and white eyes I had seen before,

250
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:18.240
It seemed more than a mere appearance, as if I was returning to life

251
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:23.160
only to torment me slowly advanced towards
me. I felt like I was short

252
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:30.240
of air, like an invisible hand
was squeezing my throat. Grandpa seemed to

253
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:36.559
fade slightly. His white eyes met
mine one last time before his image began

254
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:42.039
to dissolve and as if it were
a miracle, the sunlight came. I

255
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:47.480
felt a wave of relief and exhaustion
travel through my body. When his presence

256
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:52.160
finally faded, I collapsed on the
ground, breathing with difficulty, but now

257
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:57.920
I do with the certainty that it
was all over. The truth is that

258
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:03.119
from that environment then I have not
returned to the village. I didn'

259
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.119
t feel like going back to that
macabre place and remembering everything that happened to

260
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:11.519
me. But what bothers me most
is that I looked for him. I

261
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:19.279
had a normal life and everything got
complicated with family traditions. A story written

262
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:22.400
and adapted by the language of a
sorcerer.
