Gabriela, die zwölf war, war zu alt, um sich an solche Dinge zu erinnern. Als sie ihre Schwester erschreckte, schlug sie und sagte, Maria, Mami ist nur Lügen. Es gibt kein El Cuco. Es ist nur Müll. Der Moment, als sie beendet hat, hat Gabriela die kühlen Finger auf ihr Handgelenk gesetzt und sie gejagt. It was her Mamacita, and from here, she could see her Mamacita's features up close.

Her skin was crumpled and her hair stark white. Her Mamacita opened her eyes wide, locking them onto Gabriela's and hissed, El Cuco is real, and it is here. Gabriela was appalled. She opened her mouth to scream when her Mamacita shoved her down. Maria began to weep, and her Mami rushed to take both her girls to their rooms.

As they walked upstairs, Gabriela glanced at her mamacita, who had resumed weaving as if nothing had happened. It took so much effort for her mommy to convince Maria that there was no such thing as El Cuco, that it was just a fantasy. After mommy left the room, Gabriela stared at the white wall, dimly lit by the moonlight coming through the window.

Maria was fast asleep, but Gabriela kept pondering the strange scene that had unfolded downstairs. El Cuco is not real, she told herself. She had read books and watched movies about such things when she was younger, but never really believed in them. Just stories to make children behave. Gabriela soon fell asleep, but within minutes. She felt someone tugging her legs.

Assuming it was Maria, she groaned. Go to sleep, Maria. The tugging stopped, but after a few moments, it resumed. Irritated, Gabriela firmly whispered, Go to sleep, Maria! But it was not Maria. A black shadow loomed, bigger than Maria could ever be. The shadow moved forward, inches away from Gabriela's face.

Its yellow eyes glowed in the dark, its sagging face twisted in hunger, its mouth loosely open, dripping with anticipation. Gabriela was about to scream, but she could not utter a word or move. She was trapped, frozen in place. The creature bellowed.

Die Worte trugen einen ehrlichen Hunger, als ob sie Jahrhunderte lang aufwärmen musste, um sie zu zerstören. Seine Bedürfnisse waren unerwartet. Sie streckten ihre langen, schmalen Finger an Gabriellas Rüste, zwischendurch langsam, um ihre Unheilbarkeit zu spüren. Jedes Bewegung war unerwartet, um ihre Bedürfnisse zu zerstören. Ihr Hunger wuchs mit jedem Zwischen.

Gabriela fühlte den Schmerz, aber sie konnte nicht schreien, sie konnte nicht wieder kämpfen. Sie war schmerzlos. Just as the creature's fingers began to snap her wrists, the door slammed open. Gabriela's Mama Sita entered, raising a bead garland high, chanting an ancient incantation. El Cuco screeched in agony, its body writhing as the garland's power burned it.
