TRY IT, AND YOU WILL KNOW THE EFFECT
That morning, Estela went out alone to do the market like every Monday. On Sundays they were family, they had fun traveling or going for a walk, and at the beginning of the week she organized herself to leave the children at school while her husband went to work very early, she spent an hour in the gym and from there she took care of Of purchases. That day she was more shocked because the children had a costume party and she had to fix them before leaving, she barely had time to do her exercise routine and run errands. She used to go to a supermarket that was on the outskirts of the city because they had imported products and she was addicted to a coffee that only they sold.
Entering, she found herself on one side of the supermarket with a strange character dressed as a pumpkin who insistently between jumps and shrieks offered her a cup of coffee; next to it a sign said: "FREE PROMOTION, TRY IT AND YOU WILL KNOW THE EFFECT". Since she did not know the mark, he rejected it and continued inside. She was taking from the shelves what was necessary for the house, and when she arrived at the coffee shelf she noticed that her favorite brand was not there and in her place there were other products that she already knew but she did not like. It seemed very strange to her that the cafe she was shown at the entrance was not there and she kept thinking about it. Would it be good to try it? Perhaps he was as good as the other one, after all he met him thanks to a promotion too, but he disliked the walking pumpkin that promoted him.
She finished her shopping, and leaving she stopped where the orange character was, who by the way didn't speak, he just jumped and made signs. He offered her some of the steaming coffee, and she tasted it slowly. The promotion said that because it was Halloween they would be given a small wrapper that same day, and that this brand had a special ingredient. Estela opened the bag and sniffed the contents, it had a strong aroma that the woman had loved, and after taking several sips from her cup, she liked it, and tried to find the unknown ingredient on her palate but she couldn't find it. . At that moment, Roco, her husband, called her while she was still in the place and she told him about the promotion, told her that when she got home she would prepare it to see if she liked it and she would buy it.
Estela got into her car after putting away the packages, and on the way she kept savoring the particular flavor of that coffee, no matter how much she thought about the ingredient that gave it that special effect, she couldn't find it. Roco's phone rang insistently and she was the director of the school to tell her that Estela had not gone for the children. The man left the office while he was dialing his wife's phone but it was sent to the mailbox, he did not understand why he was turned off and where he could be.
They arrived at the house and she was not there, nor her car, nor her personal belongings, nor the packages from the market. It was already getting dark, the supermarket opened late that day because it was a party that was celebrated throughout the place and sales increased. Roco went there to find out if they knew anything about his wife. Upon entering, he asked the employees, and they showed them the internal cameras where they could see that she had left the place early. The cameras outside were black, nothing could be seen. Roco told them about the coffee promotion they had at the entrance and the one his wife told him about on the phone, and the free package they gave Estela. The owners informed him that they hadn't done any coffee promotions that day, much less knew anything about the character in the pumpkin costume. The man began to despair and filed a complaint with the police.
Midnight was approaching and they had no news of Estela. The police officials told her that her vehicle had been found in a deserted area near the outskirts of the city, with no trace of her, only the packages from the market, her belongings, but the promotional coffee wrapper wasn't either. Far away from the discovery, behind a mountain in that desert area, the concentration of disciples of darkness was held for the umpteenth time, who every year met in that place during the night of witches, sitting around burning torches. They wore dark outfits with gourd-shaped masks with hideous features, and drank steaming sips of that strange coffee that made them act like automatons. Among that large group of hypnotized beings, was Estela, while her family and her police continued to investigate her whereabouts without imagining what was about to happen in that awful place.
Many thanks to
