Doncello Town

It was on September 15th of 2000 when some people were doing some errands and others were running from the rain. The two rivers that cross the town turned brown and the water level was rising badly. The town was so small that everybody knew each other. Two huge mountains covered the sunlight at 5:00 PM every day. Mountains where there were neither animals nor farms. There were just many doncel trees everywhere; trees that gave the town its name. There are thousands of legends about the big green mountains. Some people say that when a person goes up the hill, he becomes a monster forever. Elders believe that there is a fantastic world behind the weird mountains that nobody wants to come back to the town.

 

He always used a black T-shirt that combined with his dark beard.

 

Every day, a tall white man sat down on an old wooden bench of the central park where many children played all the time, but they never played near him. They got scared of his appearance. He always used a black T-shirt that combined with his dark beard; his eyes were brown like the rivers on a rainy day. He was 50 years old. A man with a cold stare, and a weird appearance. He always saw the sun disappears behind the mountains and then went down the street. Some people who saw him walking down say that he always got inside the cemetery but he never went out. He never looked at someone. He never spoke to someone. He was the strangest man in the small town.

Will Brown

 

Will Brown was a 40 years old man who loved talking to others. He was really tall and thin. He had long arms and legs. He always used his black hat with a white band around it. His house was next to the park. It was a small house made of brick and wood. When Mr. Brown left his house, he shut the door with a visible padlock and a metal chain. He lived alone all his life. 2 old portraits were the most beautiful things in his home. Portraits that belonged to his dead mother.

Will Brown realized about the strange man who sat down in the old bench every day. He was observing the man for some days, but he did not know what to do. He wanted to talk to him, but a horrible energy covered all the park when the man sat down on the bench. Mr. Brown wanted to talk to him. He wanted to know who that weird man was.

One day, the strange man sat down in the old wooden bench as usual. Mr. Brown was waiting for him. He was looking through the window for some minutes.

“I have been waiting for you,” Mr. Brown thought “I will go after you to know who you are”

 

He never imagined what he was watching.

 

after the sunset, the strange man stood up and went down the street. Immediately Mr. Brown carefully closed the window and went after him. After walking 10 minutes, the strange man got inside the cemetery.

“This is the opportunity to ask his name” Mr. Brown mumbled. “I will talk to him in the cemetery”

Mr. Brown ran quickly to the cemetery and saw two big shadows moving behind the graves. “I found you” Mr. Brown said.

He was not scared, because he had been in the cemetery many times before. The only thing he wanted was to talk to the strange man with the dark beard. Mr. Brown got where he saw the shadows, and he never imagined what he was watching. A big black dog was staring at him. Its eyes were red like fire and drops of blood fell to the ground from its eyes.

“I was waiting for you” I creepy voice came from the darkness.

“I just want to know who you are” Mr. Brown mumbled with his shaking mouth while the black dog smelled his boots.

“The world does not belong to us. they are between us, and horrible things are coming” the strange man said “everybody in this town is condemned to death” after a moment, the big dog and the man disappeared in the darkness.

Mr. Brown was shocked. He was not able to move a finger himself. His long legs felt the cold wind of death. “must this be a dream” Mr. Brown thought turning as pale as death. “everything will be ok tomorrow”

Shhh!

 

During a long weird day, after the last drops of water fell over all houses in a particular way, when all people were about to sleep hearing the soft drops of water falling everywhere, Mr. Brown was staring at nothing. His eyes were like two big suns shining in the darkness. He was like a person who was inside of a world of madness. Neither thoughts, nor souvenirs were in his lost mind. He was waiting for nothing, indeed he looked like he was asleep thinking about everything.

 

His eyes were like two big suns shining in the darkness.

 

His mind was stuck, his thoughts were lost, Mr. Brown just could think about the strange man he met in the cemetery. He was staring at the wooden bench and the tree next to it through the window. His thoughts moved away and return slowly like the tree's branches swung in all directions. While the branches moved themselves, he saw faces between the branches and heard voices from the tree.

“I’m going mad” he thought “is there any probability the old tree speaks to me?”

He spent a long time staring through the window, waiting for the strange man who sat in the wooden bench, but the man never appeared. “Was it a dream?” He asked himself “should I go to the cemetery again?”

He stood up and moved quickly near the door. He was ready to go out but the door was locked. He forced the door for 5 minutes but it was in vain. He looked for the padlock but it was not in its place. “is this a joke?” He said “I will go out through the window”.

He walked slowly to the stairs. Suddenly, he heard as if someone was walking in the second floor. He was in shock. He did not blink. He did not know what to do. The wooden floor sounded about to crack. “It is too heavy to be a person” Mr. Brown mumbled.

He shook his head and went up the stairs. He saw the old man sitting near the window, and his black big dog laying on the wooden floor. “How is it possible? How did you get here? Mr. Brown asked.

“Shhh! shut up, and see through your window” The man replied “this is what happens when a person wants to know more than he already knows”

A man was hung up in the tree. His body was still moving. Mr. Brown could not believe what he was seeing. This was the first time he saw a person dying in front of him. He was perturbed. “did you kill him?” Mr. Brown asked, but there was no answer. He turned his head and realized that he was alone in his bedroom. He hit his head so hard against the wall and fell down unconscious.

The Arrival

 

Cold wild winds came from the big mountains. “the maintains are breathing” people said “I can feel their sorrow” one of them said.

A thick fog started to sprout from the green grass on the mountains. Suddenly, the strange fog and a dreary feeling covered the complete town. It was late. People only thought about the poor man who was killed in that horrible way. They decided to go home and locked the doors, but there was a man who did not. He was outside watching how the thick fog moved for everywhere and while the dreary night became darker and darker, Mr. Brown was still as brave as none. He was prepared for everything.

While the moon was covered with the thick fog, and the winds brought voices, cries and horse steps, Mr. Brown was in the same place waiting for what was coming from the dark mountains.

Are they thousands of wild horses? Mr. Brown thought.

 

There was a dead silence for 30 seconds.

 

 

The sounds were closer and closer. Mr. Brown stepped back, but he did not run away. Suddenly, he saw a big shadow going down the hill, two shadows, three shadows; no they were more than three, but they were so fast that he could not count them.

“I am not scared” Mr. Brown cried “I will wait for them right here”. After 5 minutes, the
