Invisible
Invisible
Tomás had always been a shy boy, even his school nickname had to do with his ability to go unnoticed, Invisible, it was the name that was first whispered and then out loud, it began to be what everyone called him. Tomas didn't know how, but he too had come to his neighborhood.
In addition to ignoring his name and addressing him as Invisible , neither his classmates nor his neighbors bullied him. There was something in the look of Tomás that stopped the mockery attempts, a newcomer to the city and to the institute, and that remained so until the present, when the entire group that finished would disperse, university, work, other places in the country.
Everyone was commenting on his future plans, there was also a lot of excitement about the end-of-year party. But of Invisible, nothing was known. He was still more invisible than ever.
Invisible didn't even have a friend to chat with. She had always remained distant, her family was another unknown. She lived with her father, who, like him, only socialized what was essential. The questions that had been asked at the beginning returned to the corridor meetings. And in fact, Invisible was a sum of unknowns.
With the girls, she was also distant, but Monica (the most daring), insisted that she had a strange look, which was scary; but most of them had found the comment hilarious; because Tomás, the Invisible, was very respectful towards the girls.
Although he got around on a skateboard, he did not sympathize with the group of skaters at school or in his neighborhood. He was like an island.
His classmate suspected that he was using drugs, since lately he wore dark glasses to first classes in the morning. And Monica claimed that she saw him walking in the park, wearing those same dark glasses, hand in hand with a woman apparently older than him.
Monica decided to unravel the mystery once and for all, without saying anything to even her best friends or her boyfriend. She followed him for a couple of days to be sure which house was hers and to find out if the Invisible was going there directly. The third day, she skipped class, she dressed differently. She parked far away from Invisible's house, she used some kind of skeleton key to open the door and went in.
Once inside, the curious young woman walked around the ground floor without finding anything that caught her attention. She then slowly climbed the stairs. She was determined to find out the mystery of Tomás, her curiosity was killing her.
Upon opening the first door, curiosity killed her, as she was greeted by the figure of Tomás' supposed father. An aberration that took her life, feasting on her fresh blood. Monica unveiled the mystery, but only for her. She left another mystery to the whole town: his disappearance.

Ándate con cuidado que la curiosidad mata. Me mata la curiosidad por verte, tejería una linda historia de amor con un final romántico y apasionado... Es que "la curiosidad mató al gato"...
Hace años, el gran poeta Antonio Machado escribió frases como: "las prisas y las preocupaciones hacen que se oiga sin escuchar”, “se coma sin degustar”, “se toque sin sentir”, impidiendo disfrutar de todos los sentidos, sólo por tener siempre preocupaciones en la cabeza.
Pero es que las actividades que satisfacen la curiosidad son más emotivas, relaciones más positivas; en cambio, aquellos no curiosas consiguen placer en las cosas cotidianas. Ese espíritu aventurero de Mónica, le mató...
Antonio Machado describió la ausencia en la presencia, mencionando por antítesis la necesidad de concentrarse en el momento vivido. Celebro que te guste.
A su curiosidad debe sumarse su falta de previsión.
Gracias por estar presente, @profzonder

Una nueva manera de recordarnos que hay que ser juicioso con la curiosidad porque nunca sabemos qué podría pasarnos. Interesante y curioso relato.
Así es, estimado @hispaliterario.
