- 0:05I was born under the name of Guillermo López in the year nineteen hundred and
- 0:09sixty- five, in the magical and charming village of San Cristóbal de las
- 0:14Casas, located in the heart of Chiapas. This place, picturesque and full
- 0:19of traditions, stands majestically among green landscapes, mountains and valleys, a scenario
- 0:25that contrasts with the severity and rigidity that characterized my home. The house in
- 0:31which I grew up poor in material goods, but rich in stories, was
- 0:36on the slopes of the green hills surrounding the city. It was a simple
- 0:42structure of wood and roof of red tiles, a memory of the rural life
- 0:46of those times. My family was composed of ten members, my parents and
- 0:52us, the eight children. The López lineage was divided into three women and
- 0:57five men, my father' s favorites, of which I was the last
- 1:02Link, the youngest of all. They said that when my mother had a
- 1:07son, my father celebrated taking cane and listening to music by Don Basilio,
- 1:11an old man who dedicated himself to singing and cheering the people there. But
- 1:15when my father knew that the son who had come into the world was a
- 1:19child, he didn' t say a word and locked himself in his house
- 1:23and he wasn' t interested in seeing his own daughter until it was inevitable.
- 1:27My father, a man of complexion, strong and harsh, was a
- 1:32hard- working male chauvinist and a tireless worker. His deep and severe gaze
- 1:38reflected a man of ancient times, a man who found courage in physical work
- 1:42and virility in domination. The education he imparted to us was often severe marked
- 1:49by shouts and even blows resounding on the cold walls of our humble home.
- 1:56Every day before dawn, my father would wake us up to start our working
- 2:01day in the countryside. The rooster' s sound was just beginning to break
- 2:07the silence of the dawn, when we were already standing ready to work.
- 2:12They were long and exhausting hours under the sun from 5 a m to 3
- 2:16p m, digging, sowing, gathering. My father always insisted that we
- 2:22should earn our living, that food was not easily earned, and at the
- 2:29end of the day, our prize was a plate of hot beans. Sometimes,
- 2:34if luck smiled at us, we could supplement our meal with a few
- 2:38boiled potatoes or fresh zucchini from the harvest. Despite its simplicity, each bite
- 2:46was a reminder of the effort we had invested to obtain it. My mother
- 2:52was a good woman, but she was also a silent spectator of the abuses
- 2:57my father inflicted. His serene figure concealed a sea of sadness. His voice
- 3:02is always soft. She rarely stood up in protest, but even she,
- 3:07my dear mother, was a victim of my father' s violence. Despite
- 3:12the hardness of our existence, there were moments of happiness shining like beacons in
- 3:16the darkness. When my father was absent to be sent into the city,
- 3:23We, the eight brothers, rejoiced in temporary freedom. We played in the
- 3:30countryside we laughed, we ran, we enjoyed the beauty of our surroundings.
- 3:36Sometimes, during those special occasions, we all gathered around the wooden table,
- 3:40in our kitchen, to share a meal prepared with love for my mother.
- 3:47His hands, tanned by work and the passage of time, prepared the food
- 3:52with a delicacy and affection that transformed the simplest ingredients into dishes full of flavor
- 3:58and warmth. In those evenings, laughter and stories filled our house, compensating
- 4:03to some extent for daily hardships. Anyway, despite having experienced constant abuse and
- 4:12the obligation to work hard every day, when I was of age, I
- 4:16found myself at a crossroads where I had the option of freeing myself from that
- 4:20suffocating routine and the mandates imposed by my father. However, surprisingly, I
- 4:30decided to become a military officer. This unconventional choice, contrary to what many
- 4:35might expect from someone in my situation, filled my father with joy, though
- 4:40paradoxically, he never encouraged his children to seek formal education. I felt that
- 4:46the fact that I became a military officer was an honor for our family.
- 4:51The idea of one of his descendants following the steps of service and discipline in
- 4:57the armed forces seemed to give him a sense of personal pride and satisfaction.
- 5:02Reflecting on the underlying reasons for my decision, there may have been an influential
- 5:10psychological component. During my childhood, I suffered the emotional and physical consequences of
- 5:15an environment marked by mistreatment. It is possible that, in an attempt to
- 5:20overcome those painful memories and please my father, I have leaned towards the military
- 5:26career as a way to reaffirm my courage and obtain its approval. And well,
- 5:31as I entered the militia, the only thing I missed was my mother,
- 5:35since all my brothers had gone to work long before I left, because
- 5:40two had gone wet to the United States, three to Mexico City and two
- 5:45to Puebla, so at fourteen I alone had stayed with my parents. It
- 5:51was much more work and even though my father didn' t mistreat me as
- 5:57much as before, probably because I already had more strength to give and yet
- 6:02my refuge was always my mother, so I was the only person I missed.
- 6:08As I began in the army, I faced a series of challenges that
- 6:11required exceptional dedication and a willingness to overcome obstacles. I underwent rigorous physical and
- 6:18mental training, where I acquired combat, strategy and leadership skills through hard work,
- 6:26learning and preparation days. I tried to stand out in every aspect of
- 6:31my formation, demonstrating a strong determination. To become a soldier. It wasn
- 6:38' t that complicated, because I had always lived a life full of rules.
- 6:43In addition to the personal aspect, choosing a military career also gave me
- 6:47the opportunity to serve my country and protect the values that I consider fundamental.
- 6:54By embracing the uniform, I was committed to safeguarding peace and security. My
- 6:58dana l s. S. S. S. S. It is faced
- 6:59with any challenge that may arise in defence of freedom and justice. My first
- 7:05relevant call in the military field occurred in the year nineteen hundred and eighty-
- 7:11five. I was summoned, along with my platoon, for a mission of
- 7:15utmost importance to have and neutralize an armed group from Campeche that threatened security in
- 7:20the State of Cohuila. Our goal was to stop their progress and ensure peace
- 7:27in the region, and thanks to determination, discipline and teamwork, we were
- 7:31able to achieve this. At that time, he witnessed the growing organized crime
- 7:36in the country and our duty as soldiers was to confront and combat various groups
- 7:42engaged in this illicit activity. It was common to hear in the media about
- 7:48the security challenges Mexico faced and we were willing to put our lives at risk
- 7:54to help protect our compatriots and contribute to the stability of the nation. In
- 8:01the same year, Mexico was hit by one of the most devastating ismos in
- 8:05its history, which took place on Thursday, 19 September, and reached an
- 8:09impressive magnitude of eight degrees on the Richter scale. This catastrophic event left destruction
- 8:18and pain in its wake, with thousands of lost lives, collapsed buildings and
- 8:22entire communities united in the CAOS and despair. In the face of such a
- 8:30tragedy, we were called again to carry out relief, rescue and search for
- 8:35survivors. It was a deeply touching and heartbreaking experience. At the same time
- 8:41my eyes were filled with sadness when I witnessed the suffering of so many people
- 8:46desperate to find their loved ones and sometimes even their pets. But despite the
- 8:52desolation, the Mexican army emerged as a force of hope and solidarity in the
- 8:58dark. We work tirelessly, together with rescue teams and volunteers, to seek,
- 9:05among the rubble, to provide emotional support to those affected and to provide
- 9:11them with the basic supplies needed to survive in those critical moments. Our commitment
- 9:18to the reconstruction of the country became evident when, even after the emergency efforts
- 9:22ended, we dedicated ourselves to helping in the construction of housing for people who
- 9:28had lost their homes during the earthquake. This initiative sought not only to provide
- 9:35them with a safe roof, but also to give them the hope of a
- 9:41new beginning and the certainty that they were not alone on their way to recovery.
- 9:45As time passed, my heart was filled with deep pride for being part
- 9:50of the Mexican army and for having had the opportunity to serve my country at
- 9:54such crucial moments. I learned the value of hours, smelliness, resilience and
- 10:01teamwork whenever I called my parents. They were happy to hear everything I had
- 10:07accomplished in a short time and my father was proud of me, although I
- 10:13actually think he was proud of himself for having a military son. In short,
- 10:18the year was nine hundred and eighty- eight and after contributing to various
- 10:22missions that had taken me to the most dangerous and darkest corners of Mexico,
- 10:26I found myself facing one that made me see the existence of evil in a
- 10:31way that I had never imagined. We had been recruited for a very specific,
- 10:37high- risk mission. Our goal was clear and forceful. Catch one
- 10:43of the most fearsome groups of drug traffickers in Michoacán. An anonymous call had
- 10:50provided us with their exact location We knew that the mission could lead us to
- 10:56the limit, that we might have casualties, but at the end of the
- 11:00day or Hera, this was our duty. After several hours of walking,
- 11:03we arrive at a strategically located location near the location provided. From there our
- 11:11vision of the objective was clear. We begin to monitor the area by studying
- 11:16every detail, every movement, every shadow. However, from one moment to
- 11:22the next, our quiet camp was invaded by a roar of engines around five.
- 11:28Armored black trucks surrounded our camp, discovered our presence and decided to act
- 11:37before us. The air was filled with panic and tension. He initiated an
- 11:43armed confrontation that seemed to have no end. Drug traffickers were no less criminal.
- 11:50His combat skills made us suspicious of military training. We were in an
- 11:56unequal battle, but we couldn' t go back. During the chaos of
- 12:01the confrontation, my partner Martin, with a face that reflected both amazement and
- 12:07fear, managed to communicate something unusual to me. He told me that one
- 12:11of the men involved in the confrontation behaved in a strange, almost supernatural way.
- 12:18He didn' t look well his face was as if a shadow was
- 12:22treated a spectrum in the middle of the battle. This individual seemed to be
- 12:28always behind one of his companions, distracting our soldiers, moving from one side
- 12:33to the other, in a way that challenged the laws of physics, simulating
- 12:37to approach and then move away with an unusual speed. The most disturbing thing
- 12:43was that, despite the shots we fired at him, it seemed immune,
- 12:48the bullets passed through that shadow as if it did not exist, as if
- 12:54we were fighting a ghost. Despite the distraction caused by that mysterious shadow,
- 12:58it goes, several or my brave companions managed to maintain the concentration necessary to
- 13:03aim at their goals. With millimeter accuracy and bullet- proof determination, they
- 13:09managed to hit the target. However, no matter how accurate the shots were,
- 13:16something inexplicable happened. The bullets that struck the man, who seemed to
- 13:22protect the enigmatic entity, caused no harm, not even the slightest scratch.
- 13:28In addition, a series of inexplicable failures in our weapons were added to this
- 13:33scenario, because on several occasions, when they tried to repeat the shot,
- 13:39the weapons were boxed as something to prevent us from harming that man. Given
- 13:45the unusual resistance of the individual, I decided to try a different approach.
- 13:50Quietly, I slipped behind him, avoiding every possible sign of my presence.
- 13:56With a quick and determined move, I caught the man with my own hands,
- 14:03throwing his gun away from his reach and neutralizing him that way. However,
- 14:07far from showing fear or surprise, the subject mocked us. His sarcastic
- 14:15laughter resonated in the air. His laughter was so strong that the echo repeated
- 14:20them when he turned his face to look at me I saw in his eyes
- 14:24an abyss of evil and coldness that I had never seen in any individual.
- 14:28His yellow teeth shone every time he mocked and the words coming out of his
- 14:33mouth were pure insults. He told me the only way we could have caught
- 14:39him was like this, implying he possessed some sort of supernatural protection. The
- 14:46battle finally ended up leaving behind a trail of destruction. We had several straws,
- 14:54both on the criminals' side and our side. Each loss was a
- 14:58blow to the heart, a wound to the soul that would not heal easily.
- 15:03However, we managed to leave that place with seven criminals in custody.
- 15:09Later I had the opportunity to speak with one of my superiors, General Carlos
- 15:15Mendoza, I told him about what happened in detail, explaining to him the
- 15:22inexplicableness of how one of the detainees seemed immune to the shooting, how our
- 15:26weapons mysteriously jammed when we tried to shoot him and about the strange character who
- 15:33seemed to protect him, which, to add even more mystery to the situation,
- 15:41we never managed to find General Carlos Mendoza, a man who seemed tired
- 15:45already by his long career in the militia. He listened to my account with
- 15:46a grim seriousness that reflected his long experience on the battlefield. When I finished,
- 15:52he was thoughtful for a few moments and nodded. Finally, with a
- 15:58sigh, he began to speak. Mendoza confessed to me that, although it
- 16:04seemed strange, similar cases had happened before over the years. Other comrades in
- 16:11arms had reported similar encounters, clashes where some strange entity protected evil people.
- 16:19He explained that people who engage in organized crime, especially in certain regions of
- 16:26Mexico, often seek protection in the supernatural. They use rituals, amulets and
- 16:32prayers to try to gain an advantage so that the odds are in their favor
- 16:38and among those practices, veneration of the devil himself and holy death is especially
- 16:44common. Those words caused an image to jump into my mind I remembered the
- 16:51tattoos of that man, the criminal who had resisted our shootings and laughed at
- 16:56our attempts to stop him. His tattoos, which at the time seemed to
- 17:03me mere ornaments or marks belonging to a band suddenly, acquired a new meaning.
- 17:08I remembered the design of the Holy Death, which adorned her skin with
- 17:12her whitish bones and dark mantle as she seemed to look at me from her
- 17:19arm with empty eyes that seemed to hide pure evil. That must be the
- 17:25answer of his resistance, somehow to the fact that man had obtained protection from
- 17:29the Holy Death. General Mendoza also told me stories that, despite their serious
- 17:36tone and evident conviction, seemed to have been taken from a horror novel.
- 17:41According to him, it was not uncommon for seriously injured criminals to reach hospitals
- 17:47and somehow survive, despite injuries that would be fatal in anyone else. He
- 17:56told how, on more than one occasion, doctors were lost to the ability
- 18:00of these men to recover, as if their bodies were able to withstand wounds
- 18:06that should have been fatal. However, these miraculous recoveries had a frightening cost.
- 18:15The humors, the stories that circulated among the prisoners and the stories that
- 18:19Mendoza himself had collected over the years spoke of an unimaginable price. Criminals who
- 18:26committed themselves to Holy Death or the devil in search of protection, they said,
- 18:32must pay with human sacrifices. Sometimes it was said that they should offer
- 18:38the soul of their own children, their mothers, their wives were men and
- 18:45women consumed by ambition and selfishness, able to sacrifice their loved ones in search
- 18:48of power and protection. And, well, all that made me realize about
- 18:56human evil. However, despite the horror and disbelief, I also felt deep
- 19:00satisfaction. By the end of the day we had managed to put seven of
- 19:08these criminals behind bars, depriving them of their freedom. After our conversation,
- 19:14the army paid tribute to the fallen in combat. It was a moment of
- 19:19sadness and remembrance, but also of pride and determination. Despite the losses,
- 19:26we kept going, we kept fighting. After the tribute, I was assigned
- 19:33a new mission. You should watch the cell of the man who appeared to
- 19:37be under the protection of Holy Death, I was not afraid of him.
- 19:41I wasn' t going to let his laughs or his bad words intimidate me,
- 19:48so I set out to keep an eye on the cells, knowing that
- 19:52the next day he would be transferred to the preventive prison Varonil Norte in Mexico
- 19:59City, along with his accomplices. When I arrived in the cell, I
- 20:00found the man kneeling on the ground apparently praying, but as I heard his
- 20:07words, I realized that he was not addressing God, but to Holy Death.
- 20:12The moment he saw me enter a hypocritical smile, he drew on his
- 20:17face, examined me from head to toe and ordered me to leave. I
- 20:22just stood outside the cell and turned my back on him, but suddenly he
- 20:29started saying disturbing things. She mentioned my mother' s name and claimed that
- 20:34she had died, implying that I hadn' t even heard about me getting
- 20:40into matters I shouldn' t have. Then he added that my father,
- 20:45deep down, was happy that his wife was being eaten by the worms,
- 20:48for he had never loved her. My anger made me turn quickly to face
- 20:56it. I don' t remember feeling such anger before I ordered him to
- 21:02shut up, but my thoughts began to torment me. As he knew my
- 21:07mother' s name, he mocked me as the tears of rage flowed from
- 21:11my eyes. Honestly, I felt like opening the cell and hitting him until
- 21:18he shut up, but I knew that was impossible. Then he told me
- 21:22that his mother, Holy Death, had revealed to him that she had taken
- 21:27my mother. I tried to stay calm, knowing he was just messing with
- 21:33me. I knew my mother was fine and all I had to do was
- 21:37ignore it. I turned back to him and he laughed again several times until
- 21:45he fell asleep. The hours passed and I began to feel calmer, but
- 21:51suddenly everything got worse. Someone touched my shoulder from the cell and when I
- 21:56turned around I saw the criminal asleep. It had been no one, but
- 22:03suddenly a horrible cold hand off the ground and touched my shoulder again. This
- 22:07time I wasn' t going to let him make fun of me before whoever
- 22:12was touching me could take my hand off, I grabbed it hard. That
- 22:18' s when I realized that it wasn' t a normal hand, but
- 22:22a bony hand, and looking at who I belonged to, I saw a
- 22:29skeleton in a black robe. His face was an empty skull without eyes,
- 22:33but somehow I felt his gaze fixed on me cold and immutable. The bones
- 22:40of his hands stood out each one ending in a sharp tip that seemed able
- 22:45to cut off the same reality, I couldn' t help but let go
- 22:49of a scream that made that horrible figure disappear. And at that moment the
- 22:52man in the cells woke up. She looked at me as I was completely
- 22:59immobile and scared and asked me if I had seen her too. I didn
- 23:03' t answer. The man began to laugh and told me that he was
- 23:07very lucky to have seen his beautiful lady Dawn as the time of his transfer
- 23:14approached. I decided not to say anything. I swallowed the fear and stood
- 23:18there until they came for him. But the worst was coming a few hours
- 23:25later, General Mendoza called me to give me shocking news. My mother had
- 23:30died the day before from a heart attack. I couldn' t believe it.
- 23:36My world fell apart completely. The only person who had really loved me
- 23:41and made me happy was gone. The days turned gray and the pain was
- 23:47unbearable. I went to his wake and it was horrible to know that the
- 23:52pillar of the family was gone. My father was not immuted by the death
- 23:56of his wife and I hated him a little more because I realized that my
- 24:00childhood, that of my brothers and that of my poor mother had been pure
- 24:03suffering. Only my brothers and I feel their loss to whom. By the
- 24:10way, after that event, I haven' t seen you again until today.
- 24:14As time passed, I began to reflect on what that man had told
- 24:18me and on the appearance I witnessed. What he mentioned about my mother turned
- 24:23out to be true and surely so was what he had said about my father.
- 24:29I haven' t been to see him to this day and I have
- 24:33no news of him. That terrifying experience made me realize that evil really exists
- 24:37and is among us. I will never be able to forget that event,
- 24:45nor will I be able to forget the happy days I spent with my mother
- 24:48and brothers. Anonymous account or
