Do you remember the game of hiding and seek?
Sure you do, because it is one of the most popular games in the world.
But how many remember the warning they were given, usually by their grandmothers, not to play hide and seek at night?
It is not a joke, I assure you that everything that I will tell you from now on, really happened to little Ivonne in Buenos Aires Argentina, the cold winter of the year 86.
During those winter vacations, Ivonne received a visit from her 3 cousins Alex, José, and Carlos, who were almost the same age, around 9 years old. The house where they lived had a large patio full of spectacular trees that at this time of year had lost most of their leaves, making it quite intimidating for any child in the dark. However, this did not stop at all the enthusiasm of the 3 children who told Ivonne that they wanted to go out to see the surroundings, while the adults talked and drank inside the house.
With some fear Ivonne decided to accompany them, the 4 children in solitude played, ran, and laughed for a long time without realizing how late the night was, they did not care, they were from the city and were used to being awake until high hours of the night.
Carlos the oldest invited everyone to play hide and seek, but none even remembered Grandma's warnings about how dangerous it was to do that at night.
Ivonne, being the girl, took the first turn to count, with a toothless smile on her thick lips, she began counting one, two, three, four ...
Carlos yelled from the bottom of the garden Done!
He would be the first to be discovered, his fat did not allow him to hide well anywhere, so Ivonne managed to find him without problems.
Then it was Alex's turn, as difficult as it seemed, her cousin knew well that she liked to climb trees, so she searched for a few minutes between each tree until she managed to see it, hiding in the crown of the willow tree where the willow tree nested. owl.
José, however, because he was the youngest, had greater possibilities to camouflage himself. But Yvonne was counting on his fiery red hair to give him away even in the best of hiding places. The girl searched and searched for several minutes, while her brothers tried to mislead José so that he could win the game.
From Grandfather's old wooden wagon, a very pale fur forehead protruded, and the glow of the light from the house was reflected on two large bright eyes in the distance, staring like an animal.
Ivonne already felt like a winner, she was sure she would be able to find the elusive little boy's hiding place, she slowly took silent steps to go around the wagon and reach him from the back to discover him, but just when she was about to turn the corner of the wagon to discover who was there. hidden there, it was heard in the distance:
One, Two, Three, I won!
It was little José who was singing victory, coming out of his hiding place behind the wall of the main house, and very, very far, from the old wooden cart.
Then feeling a chill that made every bone in her little body tremble, Ivonne wondered:
Who or what was looking at her from the cart?
Since that macabre night, Ivonne vowed never to play hide and seek at night again.
