La Vieja Casona.
(Susana Parducci)
The idea of buying that old big house, had been for the Lopez's, a highly waited desire. Their economic possibilities were scarce and the dream of getting the objective done, unattainable. But, the day Oscar received that letter, all of the family intercrossed glances, and they couldn't believe the possibility of the inheritance from the least waited relative. Inmediately, the first reflected act of the four members of the family, was the same. - We'll go and buy the big house! Few days passed and they got settled, thinking their lives would change forever. And yes, they changed! From the loneliness of that enormous house, they started hearing, daily, indecipherable sounds, objects and rustlings of furniture, that altered the peace of any living being that were in there. The Lopez's (as they were called by neighbours and well-known people of the district), felt the uncontrollable fear to the unknown. No one believed them, everyone made fun of their stories of weird experiences. That morning, they decided to talk to the police.
They didn't find any answer, either, just whispers, smiles and disapproval looks.
Every day over there, it was more and more untenable, to the initial sounds, voices and shouts were added, that seemed to come out from the inside of those old walls, wasted by their age. As if the same old big house would recovered life. After a short, but comprehensible time of indecisions; the family decides to move out. In spite of their dreams or their squandered illusions. The moving day of the learning book of the youngest son, a letter slides.
Stealthy, the father opens it up. In its interior, a sinister message could read:- Thanks for visiting, we hope not seeing you again, neither you, nor your family! A simple and concise message... His signature: The real owners of the old big house. They passed away 70 years ago.
