La mudanza
_Puede ser que la muerte de Albert la haya afectado mucho. Los últimos días de vida de su novio, ella los vivió con él: hasta dormían juntos - expresó la madre, justificando el plato lleno de alimentos abandonado en la mesa.
Pero no sólo era su falta de apetito, también eran aquellas ojeras azules que crecían debajo de sus ojos y una palidez que la hacían ver, a pesar de sus 18 años, como una mujer ya marchita.
El aspecto deteriorado y enfermizo de su hija mayor, también aquel vientre abultado, hizo que la madre sospechara un embarazo:
_¿No estarás embarazada, Lucía? - la muchacha ni se inmutó ante la pregunta y ni siquiera abrió la boca.
El estado cada vez más cadavérico de Lucía hizo que la madre la llevara a médicos y hasta brujos, pero todos dieron diferentes razones:
_Ese es el espíritu del novio muerto que vino a buscarla - señaló alguien que había ido a darle un baño de matas para espantar a los muertos.
Lucía estaba tan débil que la madre le pidió a su otra hija, Tula, que acompañará a su hermana para que le sirviera de ayuda:
_Tula, quédate con Lucía en su cuarto por si necesita cualquier cosa. - había señalado la madre sintiendo una angustia por el estado de su hija enferma.
Esa misma noche, mientras Tula dormía al lado de su hermana, los ojos de Lucía se abrían de par en par para luego quedar tiesos, fijos y fríos por la muerte. En ese mismo instante una hilera de minúsculos animalitos, casi invisibles, salían del cuerpo sin vida de Lucía y se metían en la piel de Tula que dormía plácidamente, sin saber que, a partir del día siguiente, su cuerpo comenzaría a ser alimento para aquellas criaturas mortales.

The move
Since Lucia came back from San Antonio she was more appetite deprived than usual:
It could be that Albert's death has affected her a lot. The last days of her boyfriend's life, she lived them with him: they even slept together,” said her mother, justifying the plate full of food left on the table.
But it was not only her lack of appetite, it was also those blue circles that grew under her eyes and a pallor that made her look, despite her 18 years, like a woman already withered.
The deteriorated and sickly appearance of her eldest daughter, also that bulging belly, made the mother suspect a pregnancy:
You're not pregnant, Lucia? - The girl didn't even open her mouth and didn't even flinch at the question.
Lucia's increasingly moribund state made her mother take her to doctors and even witches, but they all gave different reasons:
That's the spirit of the dead boyfriend who came looking for her,” said someone who had gone to give her a bath of matas to scare away the dead.
Lucia was so weak that her mother asked her other daughter, Tula, to accompany her sister to help her:
Tula, stay with Lucia in her room in case she needs anything. - Tula, stay with Lucia in her room in case she needs anything,” said the mother, feeling anguish for the state of her sick daughter.
That same night, while Tula slept next to her sister, Lucia's eyes opened wide and then became stiff, fixed and cold with death. At that very moment, a line of tiny, almost invisible animals came out of Lucia's lifeless body and got into Tula's skin, who slept peacefully, not knowing that, from the next day on, her body would start to be food for those deadly creatures.
