La sombra del error / The shadow of error

El vaivén de la hamaca era un susurro que se perdía en la noche. Yefre, con la mirada fija en las sombras que danzaban en el techo de palma, sentía un frío que le helaba los huesos. La lluvia azotaba las hojas de los mangos, el viento gemía como un alma en pena.

Esa noche, la sombra era más que una silueta. Un aliento fétido le rozaba el rostro. Sus ojos, como brasas, parecían perforar su alma. Susurros ancestrales resonaban en lo más profundo de su ser, recordándole el pecado imperdonable.

Habían profanado lo sagrado, un altar profano, una ofrenda a fuerzas oscuras. La sangre había manchado la tierra sagrada. Ellos decían que por miedo, otros que fue una acción de muchachos. Desde entonces, la sombra los perseguía.

Yefre, a diferencia de sus compañeros, había buscado la redención. Oraba, rezaba el rosario, asistía a misa. Pero sus amigos habían caído uno a uno. Borrachos, desangrados, muertos sin explicación. Todos sabían que era obra de la sombra.

Confiado en los sacramentales, se había ido a casa de Carmen. Ebrio, había desafiado a los espíritus. La sombra se agitaba, esperándolo. Yefre oraba, pero sus palabras se perdían en la borrachera y el miedo. Susurros sarcásticos resonaban en la oscuridad, burlándose de sus plegarias. Agarrado de la hamaca que sola iba y venía, miraba el techo esperando salvación, la lluvia que había comenzado a ahogar la noche, era testigo.

"¡Padre, ayúdame!", gritó Yefre, con voz quebrada. Un relámpago iluminó la habitación, revelando la figura de la sombra. Sus ojos ardían con odio visceral, de su boca brotaba un humo negro.

Al alba, el padre Ramón y los obreros encontraron a Yefre sin vida. Mirando la escena, se santiguaron y organizaron para darle cristiana sepultura.

The shadow of error

The swaying of the hammock was a whisper lost in the night. Yefre, with his eyes fixed on the shadows that danced on the palm roof, felt a cold that chilled his bones. The rain lashed the leaves of the mango trees, the wind moaned like a soul in pain.

That night, the shadow was more than a silhouette. A foul breath brushed his face. Its eyes, like embers, seemed to pierce his soul. Ancestral whispers echoed deep within him, reminding him of the unforgivable sin.

They had desecrated the sacred, an unholy altar, an offering to dark forces. Blood had stained the sacred ground. They said it was out of fear, others said it was the action of boys. Since then, the shadow haunted them.

Yefre, unlike his companions, had sought redemption. He prayed, said the rosary, attended mass. But his friends had fallen one by one. Drunk, bleeding to death, dead without explanation. Everyone knew it was the work of the shadow.

Confident in the sacramentals, he had gone to Carmen's house. Drunk, he had defied the spirits. The shadow stirred, waiting for him. Yefre prayed, but his words were lost in drunkenness and fear. Sarcastic whispers echoed in the darkness, mocking his prayers. Clinging to the hammock that alone came and went, he stared at the roof hoping for salvation, the rain that had begun to drown the night, witnessed.

"Father, help me!" cried Yefre, in a broken voice. A flash of lightning illuminated the room, revealing the figure of the shadow. His eyes burned with visceral hatred, black smoke poured from his mouth.

At dawn, Father Ramon and the workers found Yefre lifeless. Looking at the scene, they sanctified themselves and organized to give him a Christian burial.
