Now I am going to write a terrorific story.

It happens one year ago more or less. It is about a family that it lives in a city, Mexicali. And this family went to Puerto Vallarta on holiday so, the father talked with his brother and he told that if he can take care of the dog and his brother accepted. The brother slept that night with the family. the next the family left and he was alone in the house. At night he went to slept and at 2pm more or less he saw a siluet, but he was continued sleeping and he got up at 1pm, too late. He couldn't work and he notified at chief. He went to put some food at the dog but i wasn't there... He was searching the dog all the day, but he didn't have any answer of it. So, he decided go to sleep, but he listened some noise, he thought that this noise could be the dog. He went down stairesand he saw a siluet, he ran away and he visited his neighbors. The next day his brother phoned at him and, he, the brother who was in the house, told at his brother that the dog desapeared, the brother told that the dog was with him, with his family. The brother who was in the house was so scared! Because his niece told at him "be careful with Germán" and he thought that she was talking about her dog, but she was talking about the ghost. The brother didn't came to the house any more time.
