正月初五：Welcoming the God of Wealth

🌌 La Sombra del Espejo 🪞

Marta siempre había oído decir que los espejos guardan secretos, pero nunca lo creyó… hasta aquella noche. Estaba en su nueva casa, una antigua mansión que había heredado de su abuela. En el pasillo principal había un gran espejo enmarcado en madera oscura. Esa noche, al pasar frente a él, notó que su reflejo no imitaba su movimiento. Se detuvo, asustada, y vio cómo su imagen sonreía de manera siniestra.

Aterrada, retrocedió, pero su reflejo se quedó allí, mirándola fijamente. De repente, la imagen levantó la mano y señaló hacia la puerta del desván. Marta sintió un escalofrío, pero su curiosidad fue más fuerte que su miedo. Subió las escaleras y abrió la puerta crujiente. En el centro del desván había una caja polvorienta. Al abrirla, encontró una nota escrita con letra temblorosa: "No mires detrás de ti".

Su corazón se detuvo. Sintió una respiración helada en su nuca y escuchó un susurro que decía su nombre. Cerró los ojos, pero el miedo la paralizó. Al mirar nuevamente al espejo, su reflejo ya no estaba. En su lugar, una figura oscura le susurró: "Ahora tú estás al otro lado". Marta gritó, pero su voz quedó atrapada en el cristal. Desde esa noche, cada vez que alguien pasa por ese pasillo, jura escuchar un golpe suave que viene del espejo… como si alguien pidiera salir.

Bedside Italian

Bedside Italian #25 - Attacco di formiche.

Simon Fowler: So what do you think you will have to eat?

Eduardo Gonzales: I know you said the barbecue is good and it does look fantastic, but I see they also have curry here.

Simon Fowler: Yes, they do. It’s really good. You see there are 12 different kinds. The one at the bottom is very mild and as they go up, they get more and more spicy. The one at the top - well, phew! It’s really tasty, but a little too hot for me. There’s a lot of garlic in it, so if you choose that, you need to be brave. And you may not be popular on the plane home tomorrow (laughs).

Eduardo Gonzales: (Laughs) I do like a strong curry though. What I do is I order a dish of yogurt to go with it. It’s nice and thick and cool so if I feel it’s too spicy, I can eat some or add it to my curry to cool it down.

Simon Fowler: That’s a really good idea. I might try that in future.

Eduardo Gonzales: I also like the sound of the cheeseburger, but at the same time, I could have a good cheeseburger in a lot of places.

Simon Fowler: Oh, it’s really special here though. They bake the burgers for a little which makes them taste really good, and then they fry them quickly in olive oil. There are a lot of restaurants where they just put it in the microwave and it tastes terrible.

Eduardo Gonzales: The only thing I used a microwave for is heating up my coffee when I have left it too long. I don’t think you should ever use one for food.

Simon Fowler: Well, here comes the waitress, so it’s decision time.
