Once upon a time, there was a man named Alfonso who envied a very happy family living in a large farmhouse on an estate: they were the Gomez family. Alfonso wanted to put an end to their happiness. Therefore, one night, he decided to start digging next to their home, intending to create a tunnel underneath so that the house would sink into the hole.
He dug with ease until he reached a considerable depth, and there he began to move the earth with his hands beneath the house. However, after a short while, he noticed that in that area, the earth was becoming harder, and it was more difficult for him to excavate.
As he moved forward slower and slower, he began to lose his strength. He started to grow weak and exhausted; he was losing muscle mass rapidly, as the sand was becoming thicker and harder as he kept going.
Despite this, his thirst for revenge did not stop him. When he reached the center of the area beneath the house, he felt that what he was touching was so hard it was no longer earth. At that moment, the layer of brown sand grains finished falling away, and he saw that behind it was a wall of skulls.
In that instant, the man could take no more and fell face down on the ground. With his last bit of strength, he stood up and tried to go back, but as he turned around, he saw that all the sand he had excavated had reconstructed itself, completely plugging the tunnel.
Alfonso was trapped underground, right beneath the Gomez family’s house. The skulls belonged to all the people who, before him, had tried to tear them down out of hatred and envy.
