And it took just as long for him to snap out of whatever spell had been cast on him before he could speak again and tell everyone what had happened. Gaze transfixed on an empty spot in the distance, one hand clutched as if he were wielding an invisible stone, the other still gripping the handle of his dented machete; a faint smell of dried urine, the new clothes his mother had made him not a week earlier blood streaked and in tatters\u2014this is how Miguel came home, stumbling over the wooden fence that separated the family home from the dark, hungry forest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Was it an animal? his mother asked, grabbing him by either shoulder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I should have fetched the water myself, his sister lamented.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">His father, wordless, bolted into the forest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But no matter how much they shook him or how many buckets of cold river water they dumped on his head, Miguel would not speak. He just stood there, mouth a tight slit, his bare feet sinking deeper into the newly-formed mud.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And when he did finally open his mouth, it was to scream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miguel\u2014my great uncle\u2014was sixteen when he disappeared. By then he was old enough to join his father and the other men that worked harvesting coffee at the plantation, located on the other side of a thick patch of mango trees that surrounded the family\u2019s two-room house. Monday through Saturday, he would wake next to his father, and after breakfast and their morning prayers they walked the three kilometers through the forest to the plantation, carrying their machetes and water jugs and other provisions to last them the entire day. Normally, they traveled together at dawn to avoid the heat and humidity of the morning. But on the day he disappeared, his sister\u2014my future grandmother, who told us the story of what happened to Miguel\u2014had come down with a fever and could not fetch the family\u2019s water from the river like she always did. So instead Miguel, at his mother\u2019s request, set off for the river himself, a bucket in either hand, machete strapped safely onto his belt.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Things in El Salvador were different in those days, of course. Before the telephone lines were installed and streetlights illuminated the trees with their jaundiced glow, before the family had running water and a permanent stove on which to cook, a boy could be tasked with walking through dense forest that he knew how to navigate better than his town\u2019s packed dirt streets. No one\u2014not his family, or the nearest neighbors, or the priest\u2014could explain Miguel\u2019s disappearance. All they could do was wait.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The night he came home, his mother and sister brought him into the house and slowly undressed him, tossing his torn clothing into a corner. His mother winced when she saw the scratches on his arms, legs, and back. She ran her fingers across the cuts and thought that they resembled those that a bird\u2019s claws would make. His sister looked away from her brother\u2019s nakedness and the puff of dark hair, instead keeping her gaze fixed on the broom that she used to sweep the floors. Miguel\u2019s father, meanwhile, sat at the entrance to the home, machete in hand, watching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They stood Miguel in the large bucket the family bathed in and gently washed him with the river water that they\u2019d warmed over the open flame. The water turned rusty with the dried blood they removed from the long, deep cuts that crisscrossed his arms, but Miguel didn\u2019t seem to feel the uneven strokes of the rough brush. They changed the water and his sister scraped the dirt lodged beneath his fingernails and his mother rinsed the knots of mud from his hair and the dried urine from his inner thighs. When Miguel\u2019s scratches blossomed with dots of blood, his sister hastily dabbed at them with a bit of cloth that his mother had given her. They then dressed him in his white pajamas and laid him down on his cot. For two days, Miguel stared up at the thatch ceiling, mouth a slit, silent. His family knew he was alive by the even rise and fall of his breaths. Otherwise, he was like a dead man.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The worst part were his eyes, my abuela would tell us much later. It was like he could see something standing right behind you. It made you feel afraid to turn around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The women took turns sitting and sleeping next to the cot, keeping vigil and praying to whatever saints would listen to intervene. But it wasn\u2019t until the second night when his family woke to the sound of Miguel\u2019s screams. The three of them sat up, heads suddenly clear of the fog of sleep, to see Miguel sitting on the cot, mouth wide open, his shadow flickering in the candlelight. His shriek was so piercing that his sister pressed her hands to her ears. It was a black scream, a soul-piercing howl, the sound of a dying animal. His father raced over and shook the boy, even slapping him once to see if he would stop screaming. But the shrieking continued, his gaze still blank and unmoving, saliva running down either corner of his mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It was only when Miguel\u2019s mother lit another candle, this one that contained an image of the <em>Sagrado Coraz\u00f3n<\/em>, that the screams stopped. Or it was after his sister begged for mercy out loud. Or he stopped on his own, after which four black spiders, each bigger than the last, fell out of his open mouth. My abuela told the story differently each time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Either way, Miguel stopped screaming and closed his eyes and fell straight back onto the cot as if he had fainted. He stayed this way until the sun rose a few hours later, his family huddled together on the opposite side of the room. When he woke up, Miguel seemed to have snapped out of the strange silence that had overtaken him. He still had a look of fear in his eyes and seemed to check every dark corner, as if he were expecting to find something there. But when his mother approached him, the fright turned to relief. She tentatively laid a hand on his shoulder, and when he began to cry softly, she embraced him. They stayed this way for a few moments, his father and sister watching silently on the other side of the room, waiting for him to speak.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This is what he told them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miguel had reached the river just as the first rays of the sun were bringing the world back into focus, but still cloaked its edges in shadow. He was dipping the last bucket into the river when he saw her, sitting on a fallen log not ten feet from where he stood. She hummed a melody he did not recognize as water beaded and dripped on her caramel-colored arms. She had her back turned to him and despite the weak light, behind her long strands of wet-looking black hair he could see the faint outlines of her naked flesh. The edge of a shoulder blade, the long cleft of her back, the tempting curve of her breasts, the suggestion of a full backside: nothing held his attention like a woman\u2019s body. Miguel thought of the only woman he\u2019d ever been with, one of the women twice his age that sold food at the plantation where he worked and would sometimes take a man\u2019s hand and lead him into the forest. By the shape of her body, the woman seemed just a few years older than him. Miguel felt his manhood shift in his pants when he imagined smoothing the water from the dark thigh submerged in the cold river.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That\u2019s when her head snapped in his direction. The speed alone with which she did this was enough to let him know that it was not a human being, but something else. A now-pale hand with black nails parted her black hair from her face, revealing what looked like the skull of a horse. He\u2019d seen plenty of dead animals rotting in the countryside and felt his heart hammering in his chest when he recognized the same dead bones framed by human-looking hair, except that this creature had sharpened teeth lining her lipless jaw. She bit the empty air once, twice, each time filling the silent forest with the sound of breaking bones. Miguel stood frozen in place as she stood on top of the fallen log to face him. Gone were the long, caramel-colored legs, the curve of her breasts, the delicate-looking toes. Instead, the monster stood on two limbs that resembled those of a chicken\u2014red as coffee berries, scaly, thin as tree branches, three sharp ivory-colored talons. Her breasts hung long and heavy, stretching well past her knees. They dipped into the river water in front of her as she stepped down from the log and started to make her way toward him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <em>Dame, Miguel<\/em>, she snarled. <em>Fuck me, Miguel.<\/em>\u00a0 Her maniacal voice sounded almost as if it was teasing him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Frozen in place, he watched her talons wrap around the river rocks as she stepped toward him. She bent forward, as if she was about to pounce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Dame<\/em>, she repeated, growling. She bit the air, rubbed the place where her sex would be. <em>Dame<\/em>, <em>Miguel.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She grabbed her breasts and started beating them against the rocks. Water splashed up as she beat them against the stone, splitting them and killing several fish in the process. The horse skull snapped open and closed again, calling his name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <em>\u00a1Dame!<\/em> she screamed at him. <em>\u00a1<\/em><em>Dame,<\/em> Miguel!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She slammed her breasts against a large boulder, shattering it into a dozens of pieces that rained down above him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That was enough for him to snap out of his stupor. He took the machete out of his hand and, nearly tripping over the newly-emptied buckets, took off running toward the house. The mango trees shook with the creature\u2019s bellows and as he ran, he heard the snap of branches and crunch of leaves and her terrible, wet steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <em>\u00a1<\/em><em>Dame!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>Miguel hacked with his machete at whatever foliage got in his way as he ran, afraid to look behind him. His arms were cut with the branches and sharp-edged stones that grazed him as he ran as fast as he could. Just before he reached the top of the hill and thus the safety of his home, he slipped on a fallen mango. He felt a trickle of warmth running down his leg at seeing the monster gaining speed as it rushed toward him. He quickly got to his feet and pushed toward the hilltop, with what felt like blood beginning to bead somewhere on his face. When he saw the wooden stakes that formed his home\u2019s fence, he knew he was safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But he made the mistake of turning around one last time. That\u2019s when he saw her, growling in the shadows, just behind the tree line, some twenty feet away. She opened her jowls wide, as if she were going to swallow him whole from where she stood. What looked like black smoke rushed out of her mouth toward him, and though he batted it away with his machete, he had the sensation that he was falling into a deep, lightless pit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The next thing he knew, he heard a sharp, unearthly sound and when he opened his eyes, he felt it emanating from his own throat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Even before he\u2019d finished speaking, Miguel\u2019s mother was lighting more candles to the saints and made her way to the lone window that existed in the house. His sister and then his father joined her, looking out at the swollen mangos and watching the invisible wind whip around the leaves. It was late morning, the world fully illuminated. Miguel lay back down to rest. It was Sunday and his father announced that he would venture into town to summon the priest. His voice was barely above a whisper and his gaze kept darting out at the forest, as if something just beyond the trees was listening, or threatening to make itself heard.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-2060\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spanglishvoces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/C-Ad\u00e1n-Cabrera-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"101\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spanglishvoces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/C-Ad\u00e1n-Cabrera-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.spanglishvoces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/C-Ad\u00e1n-Cabrera-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.spanglishvoces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/C-Ad\u00e1n-Cabrera-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.spanglishvoces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/C-Ad\u00e1n-Cabrera-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.spanglishvoces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/C-Ad\u00e1n-Cabrera-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.spanglishvoces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/C-Ad\u00e1n-Cabrera-360x480.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 101px) 100vw, 101px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cadancabrera\">C.
