The Impossible Love
Midnight had approached when Reinaldo arrived at his house. His house was dark. He could not see anything inside the gate. He opened it and entered. He heard the sound of something scraping a tree, then he went to his garden, which was just a few meters away from the entrance of his home. Approaching the tree, he heard: "You will die" then he was pushed back and fell to the ground. Panicking, he tried to get up but he fell again. The panic made his legs go limp, so he couldn't walk. He crawled with all his strength until he reached the front door. When he reached it, he stood up and unlocked the door. Falling back down, he went straight to his kitchen, his hands trembling. He rose from the ground, able to walk with difficulty, took a glass of sugared water, took a deep breath, and looked at his knees. They were skinned and covered in blood.
He went to the bathroom and took a shower. When he left the bathroom, he was calm. Then he decided to call the police. He went into his living room and grabbed the phone. In a split second, before he even had time to call, he heard a whisper, with a strange and familiar voice that said: "Do not do this, I love you and I did it for love." "Who are you and what you want with me?" answered Reinaldo, so afraid that it became notable in his voice. There was no answer.
Reinaldo called the police that day, but it was useless. The cops investigated the garden, but there were only Reinaldo's footprints, making him look like a liar.
Two days have gone by. Everyday he has heard whispers calling his name and saying love like phrases, each second of his life was leading him to madness.
On the third day, when he came home from work, it was six o'clock.
He went to the mail box and found the following letter:
"I write this letter with fear. I know that our love is impossible right now, but I just want you to know that I'll always be waiting. Nobody ever loved you like I do. You're brown eyes make me feel like I'm falling from the fifth floor of a building. I know you've never seen me before, but I 've been watching you this whole time. I know I should not tell you, but your time has come. It's time... It's your time, turn back and look at me.
With love, Death"
Reinaldo turned and embraced what would always love him. He went willingly to death and gave her the most beautiful and captivating of his kisses. So for the first time, the sky turned red at sunset.
