En la búsqueda de fama y reconocimiento en algunas plataformas de redes sociales, hay personas que se han sumergido en juegos peligrosos, donde la sed de notoriedad los ha llevado a aceptar retos extremos, sin tener en consideración las posibles consecuencias y resultados negativos, dejándose guiar por esa ambición desenfrenada y la búsqueda constante de validación externa por parte del publico, llevándolos por caminos oscuros y peligrosos, donde la línea entre la realidad y la ficción se desdibuja.
In the search for fame and recognition on some social media platforms, there are people who have plunged into dangerous games, where the thirst for notoriety has led them to accept extreme challenges, without taking into consideration the possible consequences and negative results, being guided by that unbridled ambition and the constant search for external validation by the public, leading them down dark and dangerous paths, where the line between reality and fiction is blurred.
Marcos, un joven de veinticinco años con un brillo en los ojos que reflejaba su ambición y determinación para realizar las cosas que se proponía, dueño de una sonrisa contagiosa y una actitud positiva, había soñado desde muy pequeño, con ser admirado y ser un influencer destacado en las redes sociales, capaz de inspirar a la gente y ganar fama con ello. Este joven, había descubierto el mundo de las redes sociales durante su adolescencia y rápidamente se sintió atraído por la idea de compartir su vida y sus pensamientos con un público más amplio. Con el pasar del tiempo y con su constancia en estás plataformas, sus seguidores fueron aumentando y cada vez se sentía más motivado a crear contenido creativo y llamativo para destacarse entre la multitud de influencers, llegando a tener algunos videos donde asumia riesgos considerables que rondaban el millon de vistas, pero sin embargo no se sentia satisfecho con ello y queria demostrar que estaba hecho para mas.
Marcos, a young man of twenty-five with a twinkle in his eye that reflected his ambition and determination to accomplish the things he set out to do, owner of an infectious smile and a positive attitude, had dreamed from a very young age, of being admired and being a prominent influencer on social networks, able to inspire people and gain fame with it. This young man had discovered the world of social media as a teenager and was quickly attracted to the idea of sharing his life and thoughts with a wider audience. As time went by and with his perseverance on these platforms, his followers increased and he felt more and more motivated to create creative and eye-catching content to stand out from the crowd of influencers, even having some videos where he took considerable risks that were around a million views, but nevertheless he did not feel satisfied with it and wanted to prove that he was made for more.
Un día, tras la publicación de uno de sus videos donde demostraba a sus seguidores que era capaz de tomar un serpiente venenosa con las manos sin ningún tipo de ayuda, al puro estilo del cazador de cocodrilos, obtuvo el comentario de uno de sus seguidores, dónde este le indica que el video parecia preparada y que muy seguramente a esa serpiente antes de grabar el video le habia sido extraido el veneno, situacion que no resulto agradable para marcos, pero que sintio algo de apoyo en los comentarios de otros seguidores, quienes le respondian a ese otro que nada sabia de esos temas y que el video era real, hasta que nuevamente ese malicioso seguidor, en otro comentario le escribio lo siguiente “Si lo que haces es real, entonces te retó a que seas capaz de realizar un desafío extremo que consistía en liberarse de una cuerda de ahorcamiento en menos de un minuto, apuesto a que seguro sales corriendo y cierras la cuenta”, situacion ante la cual Marcos palidecio de rabia y sin pensarlo bien, creo un nuevo video, donde refutaba el comentario de ese malicioso seguidor y que aceptaba el reto, porque ademas de ello sería un video viral que captaria la atención de muchas personas, informando también que lo haria en tranmision en vivo dentro de una semana, para que no quedara ningun tipo de duda.
One day, after the publication of one of his videos where he demonstrated to his followers that he was able to take a poisonous snake with his hands without any help, in the style of the crocodile hunter, he got a comment from one of his followers, where he indicated that the video seemed prepared and that most likely that snake before recording the video had been extracted the poison, a situation that was not pleasant for marcos, but he felt some support in the comments of other followers, who responded to the other that he knew nothing about these issues and that the video was real, until again that malicious follower, In another comment he wrote the following "If what you do is real, then I challenge you to be able to perform an extreme challenge that consisted in freeing yourself from a hanging rope in less than a minute, I bet you will surely run away and close the account", situation before which Marcos paled with rage and without thinking it through, He created a new video, where he refuted the comment of that malicious follower and accepted the challenge, because besides it would be a viral video that would capture the attention of many people, also informing that he would broadcast it live within a week, so that there would be no doubt.
En los días posteriores el joven Marcos, tomó cartas en el asunto y se preparó meticulosamente para el desafío, investigando técnicas de escape y grabando cada momento de los preparativos, para subirlos a su perfil y que de ese modo su público estuviera al tanto de esto. A pesar de que este tipo de contenidos eran los que mas vistas y seguidores les había generado a Marcos, algunos fieles seguidores en comentarios le instaban a abandonar el desafío y le decian que no valia la pena, ya que el contaba con mas seguidores que le eran fieles y que no debia hacerlo solo para demostrarle algo alguien, que no era necesario, sin embargo Marcos era una persona decidida y siempre respondio a esos comentarios que era un reto aceptado y que lo iba a cumplir.
In the days that followed, young Marcos took matters into his own hands and meticulously prepared for the challenge, researching escape techniques and recording every moment of the preparations to upload them to his profile so that his audience would be aware of it. Although this type of content was the one that had generated the most views and followers for Marcos, some loyal followers in comments urged him to abandon the challenge and told him that it was not worth it, since he had more followers who were loyal to him and that he should not do it just to prove something to someone, that it was not necessary, however Marcos was a determined person and always responded to these comments that it was a challenge accepted and that he was going to fulfill it.
Llegado el día señalado, se dispuso a realizar el reto en su habitación, preparando todo para tal fin, siendo muy cuidadoso con la iluminación y posicionando cámaras para grabar desde distintos angulos cada movimiento que haría para que todo tipo de duda quedará disipada. Tras llegar la hora prevista de ese día, Marcos inició la transmisión en vivo y empezó a hablar a su público diciendo cosas como que el era un hombre de palabra, que todas las cosas que hacía eran reales y que lo que el estaba apunto de hacer no debía ser repetido por ninguna persona, entre otras cosas más, sintió gran emoción al ver qué su transmisión pasados unos cinco minutos, ya tenía más de cien mil espectadores esperando presenciar lo que estaba por hacer, por lo que lleno de animos y mas decidido que nunca, le dijo a sus espectadores que el momento habia llegado.
When the appointed day arrived, he set out to perform the challenge in his room, preparing everything for that purpose, being very careful with the lighting and positioning cameras to record from different angles every move he would make so that all doubts would be dispelled. After the scheduled time that day, Marcos started the live transmission and began to speak to his audience saying things like that he was a man of his word, that all the things he did were real and that what he was about to do should not be repeated by anyone, among other things, he felt great excitement to see that his transmission after about five minutes, already had more than a hundred thousand viewers waiting to witness what he was about to do, so full of encouragement and more determined than ever, he told his viewers that the time had come.
Marcos tomo una silla y un trozo de cuerda que colgo en la parte central de una de las vigas del techo de su habitación, donde despues de realizar el respectivo nudo y colocarla en su cuello, alzó la mirada y observo el monitor, el cual le indicaba que ya eran mas de ciento veinte mil espectadores, por lo que dijo a su publico “y bien señores, asi es como se escapa de un ahorcamiento”, para luego con uno de sus pies empujar la silla hacia atrás, quedando sin nada que lo mantuviera bien parado, por lo que inmediatamente la cuerda se tenzo y Marcos sintio, como el amarre se cerró en su cuello cortandole la respiración, pero a este momento el joven influencer no sentis ningun tipo de miedo, pues estaba totalmente claro que eso sucedería, por lo inmediatamente inicio su maniobra de escape, levantando su mirada y alzando una de sus manos para tomar la cuerda y alzarse para aflojar el amarre que se cerraba en su cuello, para posteriormente escapar de las garras de la muerte.
Marcos took a chair and a piece of rope that hung in the central part of one of the beams of the ceiling of his room, where after making the respective knot and place it on his neck, he looked up and watched the monitor, which indicated that there were already more than one hundred and twenty thousand spectators, so he said to his audience "and well gentlemen, this is how you escape from a hanging", and then with one of his feet push the chair back, leaving nothing to keep him standing well, So immediately the rope tightened and Marcos felt, as the tie closed on his neck cutting his breathing, but at this moment the young influencer did not feel any kind of fear, because it was totally clear that this would happen, so he immediately started his escape maneuver, raising his eyes and raising one of his hands to take the rope and raise himself to loosen the tie that was closing on his neck, to later escape from the clutches of death.
Pero, a veces sin saberlo y sin ni siquiera haberlo previsto, no se toma a consideración variables que estan mas alla de nosotros mismos y mientras intentaba liberarse de la cuerda, un espíritu maligno lo observaba en silencio desde un rincón oscuro de la habitación y justo cuando Marcos estaba a punto de liberarse, el espíritu se acercó y apretó súbitamente el nudo a la vista del joven, impidiendo que pudiera deshacerse, cada segundo que pasaba parecía ser una eternidad, pero no era alguien que se iba a rendir facilmente y siguió intentando, hasta que cayo en desesperación al ver que no podía liberarse, solo habian pasado diez segundos, su deseperacion le indicaba que el tiempo era mayor, por lo que comenzo a hacer movimientos bruscos, ante lo cual escucho un fuerte crujido y cayo al piso, dónde luego que quitarse lo mas rápido posible la cuerda del cuello y tomar grandes bocanadas de aire, logro reincorporarse y ponerse de pie, mirando el monitor y la camara sobre el para disculparse con el publico por el incidente, quedo perplejo y sorprendido a leer multiples comentarios uno tras otro, que decian cosas como “Dios mioooooo”, “no puede ser, esto no es verdad” y “que alguien lo ayudeee”, dónde rápidamente estremecido y temblando de miedo giro para mirar atrás, solo verse a si mismo colgando aun de la cuerda con el cuello roto y parado junto a el a ese espiritu maligno que le dijo “eres mío”.
But, sometimes without knowing it and without even foreseeing it, we don't take into consideration variables that are beyond ourselves and while he was trying to free himself from the rope, an evil spirit was watching him silently from a dark corner of the room and just when Marcos was about to free himself, every second that passed seemed to be an eternity, but he was not someone who was going to give up easily and he kept trying, until he fell into despair when he saw that he could not free himself, only ten seconds had passed, his despair told him that the time was longer, So he began to make sudden movements, before which he heard a loud crack and fell to the floor, where after removing the rope from his neck as quickly as possible and taking big breaths of air, he managed to get back on his feet, looking at the monitor and the camera above him to apologize to the public for the incident, He was perplexed and surprised to read multiple comments one after another, saying things like "my Godooooo", "this can't be, this is not true" and "somebody help him", where quickly shaking and trembling with fear he turned to look back, only to see himself still hanging from the rope with the broken neck and standing next to him that evil spirit that told him "you're mine".
El video, se volvió viral tal como Marcos lo esperaba, lo malo de esto fue que sirvió para inmortalizar la trágica suerte que corrio, ante un desafío que jamás debió aceptar, solo por dar cabida a esa ambición desenfrenada por la fama y el reconocimiento en las redes sociales.
The video went viral, just as Marcos expected, the bad thing about it was that it served to immortalize the tragic fate he suffered, faced with a challenge he should never have accepted, just for giving way to that unbridled ambition for fame and recognition in social networks.
