From darkness to clarity
Charles was a 7 year old boy, who went with his parents on a trip to a recreation park, after having had a good time, he decided to go on the slide when suddenly there was a torrential rain accompanied by thunder and strong electrical discharges, precipitating a lightning bolt a few meters from where the boy was, he burst into tears screaming "I can't see, I can't see! His desperate father Raul took him in his arms, and together with his wife Mery boarded the ambulance and took him to the hospital, the ophthalmologist checked his eyes and diagnosed total loss of sight, adding "only through a miracle will he be able to recover it".
Filled with sadness, his parents returned home with him. A few days later they decided to emigrate to another country to find a way for their son to recover his sight. So they did it, when they arrived they settled in a city.
They began to look for rental housing. They arrived to a community, they went through almost all of it, their effort was useless, late at night, they arrived to the second to last one they had to go through, they knocked on the door, an old lady came out and asked them, "What do you want? Raul answered "we are looking for a house to live in". The lady walked outside and with her index finger pointed to the house and said, "You see the one at the end of the street, it is the only one that is unoccupied, it has never been occupied since its owner went out fishing and never came back. Viviana asked, "Who was the owner of that house?
When I was a little girl, my great-grandmother told me that in that house lived a man called Cristofer, he was a great pianist, very wealthy, he had many gold coins, he practiced hypnosis, through it he cured people suffering from degenerative diseases without profit, he was a very humanitarian man. He also had the ability to predict any natural phenomenon. The people of that time considered him a magician.
Since he disappeared, no one has been able to live in that house. Charles asks, the old woman answers "they call it the haunted house, go live in it, so you can find out why. Besides, it's the only unoccupied one in this community.
His parents and Charles said goodbye to the old lady and they had no choice but to move into the house, it was very dirty, and furnished with a very old and dusty piano, the boy asked his father to clean it, then he sat down and began to play a melody with a skill, as if he had played a piano before, leaving his parents surprised.
The boy played the piano daily. And he arranged songs and recorded them. His parents enrolled him in an orchestra, he was the most outstanding piano player.
The drawing is my property.
So he grew up in that musical environment, standing out as a great pianist. He became a very handsome young man. One night while he was playing the piano, he felt the footsteps of a person dragging his sandals on the floor of the corridor, then he saw a shadow. At first he was afraid, but then he got used to it, he never told his parents, so that they would not be afraid, because Charles was fascinated by that house.
Another night, in the early hours of the morning, he was meditating and heard on the wall of the corridor that was in front of his room some little touches, he got up and orienting himself with his cane for the blind he arrived at that wall, placing his ear he could realize that they were coming from the inside of the wall. He stood in suspense, took a deep breath, then exhaled.
Then he retired to his bedroom, while he slept he dreamed of an old man who called him, Charles, Charlesl approached him and said "what is offered to you" the gentleman "answered those little touches you hear is a message I want to reveal, behind the picture that is hanging on the wall, in front of your room, there is a small slot introduce your hands in it, pressing them strongly, it will open and an adjoining door will appear, push it, then walk forward, you will find a secret corridor that will communicate with a room. There you will discover a secret that will allow you to see many things and will endow you with a magical power that I will give you, because I visualized you long before you were born.
Charles ignored that dream.
He went to his bed to sleep. For a week every time he went to sleep it was the same dream about the old man. On the seventh day, tired of the same dream, he woke up and said, "Today is the day I will decipher that dream.
As soon as dawn came he went to the picture that was hanging on the wall, he removed it, then he went groping with his hands the wall, he found the groove following the instructions of the old man in the dream he pushed the door, walked forward orienting himself with his cane he arrived at the end of the secret corridor, With bated breath and a dry mouth for the emotion he found the room, he walked forward and stumbled upon a trunk, turned the key he had, opened it, groping with his hands he found inside it a small chest, opened it, began to grope with his hands and touched something similar to a glass eye, taking it in his hands, rubbing it, recovering immediately, he immediately found something similar to a crystal eye. He rubbed it, immediately regained his vision, looked at himself in the mirror, he could see how he looked as an adult, jumped, cried and shouted with joy to see everything around him again. There were also three pictures of Mr. Cristofer in that little box.
the owner of the house, a photo of him as a child. Another as a young man and another as an old man, and Charles could see that as a child and as a young man he was the spitting image of him. And the one as an old man was the man he dreamed of. He continued searching in the trunk and found a will where he declared Charles the universal heir of his house, fortune, the piano and that crystal eye which is where all his magical powers are.
Young Charles touched the glass eye again and felt a storm approaching. He stood at the door of his house and told everyone who passed by that a storm was approaching with heavy rains, gusts of wind, and electrical discharges so that they should take preventive measures.
In time the old lady passed by and recommended them to move into that house and told those present to believe her because physically she is the same as Mr. Cristofer, who was a magician and predicted what was going to happen.
In the early morning the storm came just as Charles predicted. Soon after, he began to cure people without lucrative purposes through hypnosis and all the people had affection and respect for him, because he was a very humanitarian young man. This gave him the pseudonym Cristofer.
