It's 5:15 am, we clearlysee a white car,real park for more accurate,movingquicklyona road,
somewhatneglectedandfull of imperfections,clearsignsof abad governmentdisinterestedin
the image,comfortand safetyof itspeople Insidethiscar,we can see twopeople,the pilotanda
passengerinthe frontseat;a man and a womanrespectively.The womanisnobodybutMarlene,
and the pilotisnothingmore andnothinglessthanherboyfriend, Javier;whodoesnotwanthis
belovedtotravel alone toaplace he doesnotknow,so he decidedtoaccompanyher.
2. While the car ismovingforward,justthree metersawaythere isa signthat says'Km100', just
there the car slowsdowntofinallygetoff the roadand intoa narrow road. Thisroad has a rather
peculiarappearance,itisveryneglected,itseemsthatnobodyhasgone throughitin50 years.
Rocks,stones,dustand shrubsare some of the disadvantagesof thiscarthat was notnecessarily
designedforthistype of roads.
6:32 am,the car stops,infront of thiswe can see a huge arc surroundedbydead,lifelessplants,
and on it,a signmade on a woodenbase inwhichyoucan barelydistinguishthe followingwords: -
Welcome to"La Purísima" -. Marlene andJavier,continue advancing,crossingthisinexpressive
arch and practicallyenteringthe town.
What isthissupposedtobe?Javierasked,veryconfused.
A People,"Marleneanswered,withanexpressionof seriousness.
What Marlene andJavierobserved,wasnotjustanytown,at firstglance it wasa GhostTown.
There are nopeople initsstreets,the facade of the housesmakesthemlookoldandabandoned.
The flooris coveredwithdeadleavesthatgive amelancholictouchandcoldlandscape.
Stopthe car, getoff it, andstart a tour of the place,startingwiththe square,whichstill retainsas
a characteristicsymbol,ahuge fountainfromwhichsprinkledthe deliciousliquidof an"Eye of
Water",adornedby a great varietyof flints,andcoloredstonesthatonlyinplaceslikethese we
can find.
The quietsilence of the momentwasabruptlycutbythe thunderoussoundof a Bell.Hissound
was of such magnitude thatMarlene didnotlastlong,and he decidedtocoverhisears withhis
hands.Whenthe silence returned,Marlene andJavierwenttoasmall church that couldbe seen
inthe distance,andfromwhichcame the loudsoundof that bell.Theyslowlyenteredthe small
church and whattheyobservedatfirstglance wasthe following:First,atthe footof the pulpit,
there wasa priestaskingtopray forthe soul of all,before the terribleeventthatpossiblyoccurred
ina fewhours.Inthe benchof the firstrow (of sevenrowsof benchesthatthe church hasin total)
we have an elderlywoman,prayingandwitharosaryin herhands,we can barelysee herface
since she has itcoveredbya veil black.Afterher,we see whatittakesto be a family,the father,
the mother,andtwo little children.A littlebehind,amanand a woman,of mature age, andvery
attentive tothe wordsof the priest.Andat the end,there isa man,of advancedage,at firstsight
it can be a bitunpleasant,since hisappearance leavesmuchtobe desired,he wearsverydirty
clothes.
Approximately15minutespassed.All present wenttothe village cemetery,exceptMarlene,Javier
and the priestwhostayedat the place talkingaboutthislegend.
