Miguel was a bumpkin who lived in a small village. He had a wife and four kids who helped him work the land. His neighbors were very friendly people, but they were also very superstitious. They had many stories and legends, most of them were about ghosts and death people that wondered in those lands. Miguel never really believed in them, in fact, he made fun of them. His wife and kids, on the other hand, were very afraid of this stories and believed they were true.
One night, Miguel couldn't sleep and woke up of his bed. He took a walk outside and noticed one particular thing: it was a really, really dark night, he had never seen a night like that. There were no stars, no moon and it was very foggy. Miguel was fearless so, he didn't pay attention to it and just continued walking through the woods.
Then, he saw a light, at first he thought it was a star, but he realized that it was too close to him to be a star. He continued walking and the light didn't go away so he walked faster. The mysterious light followed him, so he started to run back home. While he was running he vaguely remember one story his neighbors had been talking about. This story was about a light who embraced people and made them disappear, there was one thing people could do to scape from it, but he didn't pay that much attention to the stories so he didn't remember.
Miguel ran and ran back home but the light never went away, it followed him and was getting closer. When Miguel was about to surrender because of the fatigue, the sun started to rise and it was a new day. Suddenly, the light vanished. At that point he remember that his neighbors said that the light only existed at night.
He reached his house and told his wife and kids about the nightmare he had lived the night before and they couldn't believe it, they were really scared. The next night, Miguel felt that he had to find an explanation and get to the bottom of this mystery so he went out again. At first, nothing happened, but then the light visited him. He was completeley fearless, he confronted the light and tried to fight against it.
In the morning, Miguel's wife and kids were looking for him, but they couldn't find him. They told their neighbors and everybody was looking for Miguel but he never appeared. He found out that the legend of the light was real, but he had to pay a really high price for this.
