Until one day, the woman's soul grew tired of not having a new victim for a long time. So, during her next appearance, she decided to ask the taxi driver:
"Why are you ignoring me?" she said, her voice harsh this time. But silence prevailed as he feigned calmness on the outside while being paralyzed within.
"So that's how it is, eh!" The Bride suddenly appeared in the seat next to the driver and opened her mouth in his face with sinister gestures.
The taxi driver was startled and grit his teeth, as he nearly lost control of the steering wheel. The woman immediately appeared lying face down on the roof of the taxi and began to hit it with force. The man lowered his head and chest several times with a frowned brow. Finally, she stuck herself head-down on the windshield with a terrifying expression. The driver’s hair stood on end; he turned his face away, closing his eyes, and completely lost sight of the road.
He swerved the car, and it fell into a lagoon they were passing by. The large pool of water was to the right of the asphalt, before reaching the entrance to Puerto Colombia; it was about to roll through its streets.
Despite everything, the driver swam out of the vehicle, managed to reach the shore, and without a second thought, fled toward the entrance. Behind him came the Bride, chasing him at great speed. He just kept running, soaked. He looked back every now and then with a stretched face, mouth open, and panting to see how close she was. But just before reaching him, the taxi driver managed to cross the limit of the entrance.
He told his fellow yellow-cab drivers what had happened, and they stared into the distance, their faces frozen, not knowing what to do now. Then they heard the loud crack of a lightning bolt coming from the outskirts of the urban center and saw the sky invaded by black clouds. Now, all the inhabitants of the town of The Port of Colombia were trapped.
