see the handicrafts. I pushed the door open and went inside. There was
no one there. I called out, but no one answered. The first room was full
of Mexican handicrafts. I remember I saw necklaces, earrings, bags,
embroidered blouses, and ceramic pots. Then I went into the second room. The
door slammed behind me. It was dark. The only light came from five or six candles.
A large papier-mâché skeleton stood in front of me. Then I noticed the altar. There
was a photo of an elderly man on it. Also, there were two glasses of water, a bowl of
fruit, and some bread. I stepped forward to take a closer look, but then I heard a
terrible scream. It made my hair stand on end. It came from behind me. I decided
to leave… and fast! My legs felt weak but I ran back into the first room. Then
everything went dark… When I woke up, I was on the floor. My head hurt. I was
alone and there was nothing there! The room was completely empty!
