The Bride of The Port of Colombia (Short Story) - Part 1 by Hanner Goenaga

 

Luz Marine Castro was a woman who lived in The Port of Colombia town. She was engaged to her future husband, Elkin Martine, and her wedding day was approaching.

​However, there was a woman in her neighborhood who had always been in love with him. Her name was Claire Teresa.

​She could not stand the fact that her beloved was marrying a woman other than herself, so she decided to take malevolent matters into her own hands through the side of darkness. Since she was a child, Claire lived with her aunts and saw how they secretly performed magic rituals with lit candles in their dark rooms. So, she decided to go into their rooms to pry through their belongings and found an old notebook where they explained how to perform spells.

​A day before the wedding of Luz Marine and her fiancé, Claire went to the middle of the road that led to the center of the town where the church was located. She stepped among the trees of the thick vegetation on the sides of the road, and in a space between the thin trunks, she drew a circle on the ground with triangular figures in the center. She lit a tall, wide flare of fire with wood, and in front of it, she placed Luz Marine's photo. She whispered a few words in the form of a prayer, and night arrived.

​The next day, Luz Marine woke up with a smile on her face, got ready in a hurry, and in a few minutes, she had already put on her wedding dress. Her cousin Charles Rodriguez, the taxi driver, arrived to pick her up on time, and joy was reflected on their faces.

​They took the road to the sea, heading towards the center of the coastal town, but when they entered the area of the road that only had green leaves and trunks on its sides, Charles, out of excitement, did not realize that he had exceeded the speed limit.

​In a few minutes, they reached the middle of the journey, but what they didn't know was that they were about to step on the spot where the envious girl had performed the spell. A few meters away, a crack that was not there before formed in the pavement from side to side.

​The driver, Charles, managed to spot the crack. He opened his eyes wide, and the skin on his face stretched back. But since he was speeding, he failed to brake in time, and as soon as the taxi touched the slit, it flipped into the air and then fell upside down on the ground, dragging along the cement.

​A few hours later, the area was surrounded by yellow tape and police. An ambulance arrived and was picking up Charles on a stretcher to take him to the hospital. But Luz Marine's body, still wearing her wedding dress, lay lifeless on the road with her limbs twisted.
