young, he had curly hair, his eyes were blue and his skin was pale. He was thin and tall and he
had a tattoo on his arm.

It was a day very rainy and the day smelled wet. Carlos was looking for a job with his girlfriend
who looked like a model. After several attempts, Carlos found a job in a hotel in Huelva as a ping-
pong coach, and his girlfriend in the same place found a job of cook. The problem of Carlos was
that he did not know how to play ping-pong so he decided to learn. He trained hard until he played
very well. One day, Carlos and his girlfriend was sitting in the sofa and a spirit appeared in front of
them because he had heard that Carlos played ping-pong very well and said “if you do not play
with me, I will kill your family and your girlfriend”

Then Carlos bravely fought with the spirit, after a few minutes, they started playing, Carlos was
very nervous and the spirit was very serious because they were equal to 22 and it was to 24
points, the girlfriend of Carlos all the time screamed ¡Come Carlos, you can beat him!, when
suddenly… The spirit scored a point. At that moment, the spirit disappeared and Carlos observed
a shadow, when her girlfriend saw it screamed loudly and a strange sound came from the shadow.

The shadow was a mysterious man, he was small, thin and had only one-eye. Carlos and his
girlfriend asked him what his name was and the man murmured “Cristian”, Cristian said that the
spirit would never come back, if he and her girlfriend swallowed a sweet apple.

The shadow disappeared and Carlos and his girlfriend quickly caught a sweet apple and
swallowed it.

But... Suddenly Carlos woke up from a dream, he laughed so much that he cried with laughter, he
could not imagine that everything had been a dream. In the end he thought that he should not be
afraid of unreal things like spirits, since they did not exist.

He told to her girlfriend the dream that he had been, she could not believe what he was saying, for
she this story was unbelievable and they decided to put the story in Internet so that everyone
could see it.
