- 0:05Ever since I remember I' ve been tormented by a spirit I' ve
- 0:10called the glutton. My first memory of him goes back to when I was
- 0:15a nine- year- old boy. Back then I lived with my father
- 0:20and my two twin brothers who were almost ten years older than me, meaning
- 0:25we didn' t have much interaction because of the age difference. Our parents
- 0:32worked a lot and we didn' t have a lot of money, so
- 0:37the most we could expect on birthdays or major events was to go to a
- 0:43Mexican buffett food restaurant. It was just on my nineth birthday. As soon
- 0:46as we arrived at the Buffetette, I was enthusiastically serving everything I wanted and
- 0:51sat down with my family to enjoy the meal at one point I had the
- 0:56need to turn around. I don' t know what exactly drove me,
- 1:00but in doing so I saw him for the first time. The glutton was
- 1:04at the bottom of the restaurant at the last table. He was a huge
- 1:08man, not only in stature, but also seemed to suffer obesity at levels
- 1:14that went beyond normal. The chair he was sitting on seemed too small for
- 1:21his huge body and on the table there was a mountain of dishes full of
- 1:25food. Although I found it strange, I decided not to look at it
- 1:30too much and continued with my night. A month later I returned to the
- 1:34same restaurant by the school. This time, looking at the bottom of the
- 1:38place, I met the glutton again. I was sitting at the same table,
- 1:44dressed in the same way and surrounded by a very large number of dishes
- 1:49This seemed quite curious, so I couldn' t help but tell my friends.
- 1:55Everyone turned around to look at the man, but when they did,
- 1:59he was gone. The table. It was empty, with no trace of
- 2:02anyone being there. There. It was like he disappeared in a matter of
- 2:07seconds, which I thought was impossible. However, I decided not to give
- 2:14it too much importance and continued with my day. For the next few months
- 2:19I never saw him again it was until the birthday of my twin brothers that
- 2:23we returned to the restaurant. Everything seemed normal until I felt the need to
- 2:28look back at that table, and there it was again exactly the same as
- 2:34the first time, same clothes, same amount of dishes. This time I
- 2:39decided to keep my gaze fixed on the e. I tried to get my
- 2:43brothers' attention, but none of them listened to me. I looked at
- 2:47my dad and told him to turn around, but he wasn' t so
- 2:51little there anymore. I tried to tell my family, but none of them
- 2:54believed me. They thought they were a child' s fantasies, but I
- 2:59knew what I would do. I' d seen it on my mom'
- 3:01s birthday. About three months later, I saw him again. This time
- 3:07I realized more details. Despite not getting up from the table. He always
- 3:12had a new plate of food. Also, I noticed that I ate without
- 3:17using cutlery, putting my hands directly into the food and then taking it to
- 3:22my mouth. Every time I looked at him more closely, more repulsive.
- 3:27It turned out to me there were points during the night where I just couldn
- 3:31' t keep looking at it anymore. The situation was so repulsive to me
- 3:35that I lost my appetite that day. The next time we planned to go
- 3:39to that buffet was for my birthday, I decided to tell my parents that
- 3:45I didn' t feel like going there, that I was tired of Mexican
- 3:50food and I suggested that we look for another buffet restaurant Honestly, what I
- 3:55used to do one of my favorite places had become something repulsive to me,
- 4:00just because of the idea of meeting that nasty man. After looking for a
- 4:05while, we found a Chinese food firm that we didn' t think was
- 4:10bad. I was excited to try something new, so I quickly took a
- 4:15tray and started serving myself. However, something inside me made me imagine for
- 4:20a moment that unpleasant man might be there. Also Almost instinctively, I turned
- 4:29to where the table of the previous restaurant was and, to my surprise,
- 4:32there I was again dressed exactly the same and eating in a disgusting way.
- 4:39I decided to pretend that I wasn' t there to enjoy food with my
- 4:44family, but I couldn' t help but turn back to his table from
- 4:46time to time. On one of those occasions I noticed something that really disturbed
- 4:54me in the buffet There was a choice of clams that no one in my
- 4:58family had taken, because my mom said it shouldn' t be too fresh
- 5:02if we could intoxicate this man if he was eating them, but not in
- 5:06a normal way. He put them in his mouth with all his armor and
- 5:10could hear the cracking of the shells, breaking inside his mouth was impressive and
- 5:15repulsive. At the same time, I was so shocked by what I was
- 5:20witnessing that I simply could not turn my gaze away from that man. Something
- 5:26inside of me expected blood to start coming out of his mouth, as would
- 5:30normally happen if anyone tried to crush something like that with his mouth. However,
- 5:35that did not happen. I thought it would at least stop, since
- 5:41his teeth should hurt, but it didn' t happen either. The man
- 5:46kept eating everything in front of him without showing signs of discomfort. For a
- 5:51moment I tried to turn my eyes and continue with my day trying to keep
- 5:58this situation from ruining my birthday. However, something inside me was really shocked
- 6:02by this situation and at some point in the night I turned back just to
- 6:09check if the man was still there. And yes, indeed, it was
- 6:14still there. It seemed like he was eating shrimp only that, just like
- 6:18it had happened with oysters, he was eating them whole without removing the shell.
- 6:24Seeing this, I just couldn' t keep ignoring it. I knew
- 6:29I had to share it with someone and I felt someone else had to see
- 6:32it, so while looking at it, I started waving my mom around the
- 6:36shoulder to get her attention and to see it too. When my mom asked
- 6:42me what was happening quickly, I told her to look at that man at
- 6:46the last table, she turned around and that was the first time anyone outside
- 6:50of me could see him. At that moment I felt quite relieved, because
- 6:56I even thought I was just imagining it. My mother noticed it and,
- 7:00like me, she found it too unpleasant that that man was eating in that
- 7:05way, although in reality, since they were only shrimps, she didn'
- 7:12t find it so shocking that she was eating them without removing the shell.
- 7:16But still if he told me it was very unpleasant and he also told me
- 7:20not to look at it anymore, because it was too rude to look at
- 7:26a person while he is eating. Almost immediately I tried to tell him what
- 7:30I had seen about the oysters that that man had eaten, although my mother
- 7:35told me that that could not be possible and that most likely I had seen
- 7:40badly that maybe I saw that he put the shells in his mouth, but
- 7:44that most likely I had not chewed them, since no one could do that
- 7:47for a long time. I really tried not to turn back to the table
- 7:55where that man was. However, something within my real wanted to look at
- 8:00me again, so I did, but this time I saw something different.
- 8:07What I saw at the time was something even more disturbing than I had seen
- 8:11at my last glances. I could see that that big man was staring at
- 8:16me. It was the first time in all the time I had seen him
- 8:22not eating, he was just sitting there with his head turned in my direction,
- 8:26staring at me without even blinking as soon as we both made eye contact.
- 8:33I could feel a very big chill inside me. I quickly turned to
- 8:37where my mother was to inform her of what was going on. However,
- 8:43as soon as my mother turned around, just like the other times she had
- 8:46tried to get someone' s attention, the man was no longer in that
- 8:50chair, that table was completely empty, as if no one had been there.
- 8:56My mom told me that she most likely had seen something wrong, or
- 9:01maybe she had seen someone else who looked a lot like her, but that
- 9:05I shouldn' t worry, because that man had probably left, he was
- 9:11starting to calm me down because he assumed that, as on the other occasions
- 9:16when he had disappeared, I would never see him again. However, while
- 9:20I was eating I felt something very strange again. It was like someone was
- 9:26looking at me so I turned to different directions, although at first I didn
- 9:33' t see anyone. When I turned to the entrance, I saw that
- 9:35the man was no longer sitting, even though he was wearing the same clothes
- 9:41he was standing by staring at me. It was an awkward moment. I
- 9:46looked away for a few seconds with the intention of telling my mom again.
- 9:50However, for a moment it crossed my head that, like the time before,
- 9:54was going to disappear. So I quickly looked back at that address just
- 10:00to realize that it was no longer there. But even though that man was
- 10:05no longer there, I still felt that feeling that someone was looking at me
- 10:11so again I looked in different directions. This time I saw him standing somewhere
- 10:18else, basically at the other end of the restaurant. It was impossible for
- 10:22a man of such magnitude to move so quickly and without being noticed. But
- 10:28it was, and not only that, but very soon I realized that every
- 10:33time I turned my eyes and looked back for it, I could locate it
- 10:37somewhere in that restaurant. But that wasn' t the worst. Every time
- 10:43I looked at him he seemed to get closer and closer. The truth wasn
- 10:46' t much, it was like it was just an inch or two at
- 10:52a time, but it was still something that after a while was noticed and
- 10:56I was really terrified of how scared I was at the time. I pretended
- 11:01that my stomach hurt and that I felt very dizzy so my parents decided it
- 11:05was time to get out of the buffet. So we went home and I
- 11:11was really hoping that when I came home, all that nightmare would end for
- 11:16the rest of that night. I' m not running through that man anymore.
- 11:20The next day, when I came back to school a little calmer,
- 11:26I told a friend who told me that that sounded scary. However, I
- 11:31could notice that my friend did not give him too much importance. The school
- 11:35day passed normally until the time of recess. I remember very clearly how at
- 11:41my school everyone would pile up in the little shop to make the first ones
- 11:46to get their lunch, and I was no exception. I quickly ran along
- 11:52with my friend, but, to my misfortune, on that day we were
- 11:56behind the big line making us have to wait a little while for people to
- 12:01open spaces. I was standing, waiting for my chance to get in when
- 12:07suddenly I felt again that strange feeling I had felt in that restaurant as if
- 12:13someone was staring at me. So terrified I began to turn in different directions
- 12:20just to realize that, indeed, that man was standing there in one of
- 12:24the corners in the same clothes. But what really worried me was that I
- 12:30was much closer now. I could already perfectly distinguish each of its features.
- 12:37I can swear it was only about five or six meters away. He was
- 12:41staring at me and I quickly looked down and when I looked again, that
- 12:46man was gone. You could say that was the beginning of what would be
- 12:52a great nightmare, since from that moment, every time I felt that feeling
- 12:56that someone was looking at me, I saw it closer and closer. I
- 13:01quickly realized that the man seemed to follow me only in places where food was
- 13:07served, such as restaurants, cafes, shops and even once in the kitchen
- 13:13of my own home. I tried very desperately to tell my parents and brothers.
- 13:20However, none of them believed me. I felt very lonely, but
- 13:24the worst came when that man was just a few steps away from me.
- 13:30I remember exactly the day I was with that man face to face. I
- 13:35was in school and though I had been too careful for my friend to buy
- 13:39me my food so I wouldn' t have to get near the school store
- 13:43area. That day my friend had not attended school and, since I had
- 13:46not had breakfast at home, I was very hungry, so, after thinking
- 13:52about it for a long time, I decided that I would go shopping.
- 13:56However, as I entered the pitch of the tent n n n n n
- 13:58on I felt it clearly as someone was looking at me. I was aware
- 14:03that the man was already too close, but I was also aware that advancing
- 14:09one meter would take him a few days and as far as I understood he
- 14:15was about two meters from me. So I thought there wouldn' t be
- 14:20much trouble and so too, I decided not to turn around, as I
- 14:24thought it was only coming as soon as I looked. Despite constantly feeling that
- 14:28he was looking at me, I stood firm and this time I didn'
- 14:33t turn around once. I bought my lunch and thought I could run quickly
- 14:39out of the school store area. However, when I turned around, I
- 14:43bumped into that man' s huge belly. It was just a scary image.
- 14:50He had it in front of him was much bigger and thicker than what
- 14:54was seen in plain sight and from what I remember, he smelled like burnt
- 14:58oil. I was so scared, but I still couldn' t stop looking
- 15:03at him. As soon as both eyes connected, I don' t remember
- 15:07anymore. According to what I heard when I woke up in the hospital.
- 15:11I was told I fainted, but no one had seen the man terrified.
- 15:18I turned to both sides hoping to see him, but I didn' t
- 15:22see him anymore, so I didn' t keep insisting on it anymore and
- 15:26they let me go home. During that day I did not even dare to
- 15:30set foot in the kitchen of my house because of the fear that caused me
- 15:33to see that man again. My mom was empathetic enough to let me eat
- 15:39in my own room. So that day I went to bed satisfied, but
- 15:45I also wondered if what I had seen had really happened. Actually. I
- 15:50beat up a little bit in bed, but I finally got it. However,
- 15:54that morning, about three o' clock in the morning, I woke
- 15:58up as a goal. I didn' t dream of anything scary in particular.
- 16:03However, there was a problem. I was so hungry, I was
- 16:07so much more hungry than I' d ever felt in my whole life.
- 16:11It was as if he hadn' t eaten in days and could eat everything
- 16:15in front of him. At first I tried to ignore it, but it
- 16:21just didn' t go away so without any choice and burdened only with a
- 16:25voracious hunger that didn' t let me think clearly, I went back into
- 16:30the kitchen to look for something I could eat. I was so hungry,
- 16:33but I didn' t even remember that man. I walked straight into the
- 16:37refrigerator and opened it. There wasn' t much more than a spaghetti fret
- 16:41my mother had made for food. At first I thought about warming it up
- 16:47in the microwave, but my hunger was so bad that I didn' t
- 16:52want to wait that long, so I unearthed it and started eating it completely
- 16:55cold. I didn' t even use any cover. I was eating with
- 16:59my hands and I didn' t stop until the fret, which housed at
- 17:03least four portions, was completely empty. But at the time that didn'
- 17:07t matter to me and the only reason was because I was much more hungry.
- 17:11I quickly opened the refrigerator again hoping to find something else, but there
- 17:17was not much more than some vegetables like tomato onions and so on, a
- 17:22gallon of ten liters of milk. Without much thought, I started drinking directly
- 17:27from it until I emptied it and yet it wasn' t enough. I
- 17:33needed more food and I knew it, even though I knew it had to
- 17:37stop. I just couldn' t do it and ended up eating almost everything
- 17:41in the refrigerator, no matter what it wasn' t exactly a dish,
- 17:48I ate even onions, raw tomatoes and even a pot of sauce just spoons
- 17:53and yet, at the end of it, I still felt a lot of
- 18:00hunger, almost as if I was totally desperate. I started eating things that
- 18:02were definitely not food, like sponges to wash dishes and even ate wax fruit.
- 18:08My mom listened to the noises in the morning and went down to see
- 18:12what she was doing. Seeing what he was doing, he stopped me immediately
- 18:18wondering what was wrong with me. However, it was as if something had
- 18:22taken over me. I was simply constantly repeating that I was very hungry and
- 18:27that I should take it off. My mother, not knowing what to do,
- 18:33took me to my room and told me I couldn' t keep eating
- 18:37like that. I have a clear memory that once in my room I started
- 18:41chewing paper from a notebook in the hope of getting a little appeased by the
- 18:45growing hunger I was beginning to have. I just couldn' t stop chewing
- 18:52on something without feeling my stomach roaring desperately the next morning, when, when
- 18:59my or my mother realized that I had finished a whole notebook, she tried
- 19:02to go to a specialist. However, no doctor could say exactly what he
- 19:10had. My grandmother told me this was probably the work of some spirit,
- 19:17so they took me to a clean lady. She confirmed to us that she
- 19:22had something inside me that forced me to eat that way and that she was
- 19:26like a parasite. However, as he had just entered, it was relatively
- 19:33easy to pull out. They took about five hours doing different kinds of clean
- 19:37and ritual and at the end of everything, I stopped feeling hungry. Moreover,
- 19:44that lady gave me a red bracelet, which she told me should never
- 19:48take away, for that man around me could not approach me with her on.
- 19:53Since then I have not taken that bracelet off under any circumstances, but,
- 20:00however, I assure you that every time I go to a restaurant I
- 20:03can see that man sitting at a table away from me, as if he
- 20:08were patiently waiting for the moment when I remove the bracelet. Story written and
