Several years ago, a young truck driver was driving on the Mexico-Puebla federal highway. He had just left the municipality of Ixtapaluca and began a stretch of long corners glued to a gorge 2:30 in the morning and the driver confident and calm when suddenly before to reach the entrance of a sand and stone mine that is just before entering a curve, the trailer stopped working desperate and scared by the place where it stopped I take the signals and wait a moment to see if someone it passed but nothing, you could not see any light you could not see any vehicle checked the trailer and saw no damage, being the month of September the night was cold despite trying to communicate on the radio no one answered the majority of truckers preferred to go by the highway and there was no sign of any vehicle.

In the distance, a light could be seen in a small room at the bottom of a mine far below where the truck was. The driver simply got into his truck and sat down to doze behind and the night was getting colder and darker. and the dream overcame him when suddenly they touch the window of the trailer under it and you could barely see a figure of a gray-haired man already in years and on his watch he saw that it was 4:35 a.m. he took his baseball bat and he left the vehicle greetings good morning friends to what the sr answered him.

-Good morning- the gentleman was a thin guy with a hat and a denim jacket, maybe some inhabitant of the town who left a little behind said the man what had happened to his truck, I do not know the truth, ... he just went off Be careful what can surprise you, the driver replied thank you I had already fallen asleep.

Are you a mechanic?

The man smiled and answered the truth, but I know one who is with me here in the mine if you like it I work there as a guard because the driver did not follow me. He had his doubts, he thought that if he had wanted to assault him, he would have done while he was sleeping so he risked and followed that old man.

The entrance of the mine is in front of the curve where it was stranded and in the distance you could see that light that lights the little room of the supposed guard there is the mechanic, if he answered the old man the truck driver was worried but needed the mechanic and followed behind of the man after a while he asked again but.

Is man awake?

He stopped in his tracks and the driver remained motionless and the man invited him to continue but he did not move then it was felt that the cold was getting worse and he took a few steps back and suddenly the old man the supposed watchman started to laugh in a way macabre and began to run to the trees the driver felt how his hair stood up and not knowing what to do was motionless while listening to the old man shouted almost fell with me, but for your question and you fear you would be careful that one day I will come for you.

The driver reacted and noticed that he was inches from the cliff of not having reacted could have followed the spectrum and had fallen, turned around and hurriedly ran and ran to reach his trailer. Next to his truck there was already a patrol with two policemen and another trailer that had stopped, the poor man was not even aware of when those vehicles had stopped.

One of the policemen told him this truck is his, of course the truck failed me, and I went to look for help afraid that they would make fun of him. He did not mention anything about the other truck driver and the police just looked at him and asked him.

Did you get the help?

He did not answer ... our friend.

The truck driver told him that he would help him check the truck and the officer who had questioned him about the vehicle told him I would give him good-looking coffee he needed one only a tip tries to boot. The truck that assured that it has nothing is pure deceptions of the sr that saw the poor truck driver could not believe it. Everyone knew what had happened to turn the keys the engine of the truck worked as if nothing the other policeman told him to go man only say we believe you. He was frozen and said I do not know what they are talking about the other truck driver asked him.

Are you new on the road, right?

Yes our friend answered that explains everything, walk from where your trailer stopped The other truck driver said our friend was silent next to the trailer just at the start of the curve there were crosses directed to different people one of the police went up where he could and pointed with the lamp a movable cross and said I introduce you to the sr of the road but I think you already know the officer who offered him coffee told him sit down and tell us what he did to you, he obeyed what happened, the two officers and the other truck driver looked at each other yes and they told him.

Many years ago that man you met was the guard of the old mine that you see down there one night saw a truck coming down and stopped right where you failed trailer the guard went up to help you never imagined that

They were assaulting him, the malefactors killed the driver and the guard and threw them into the gorge almost where you were some time later it was known that one of those assailants was the same truck driver and that's why he knew the schedules of heavy loads since then the old man Watchman appears to the truckers scare them either by jumping on the wheels of the truck or making the trucks fail and offering them help so the crosses you saw why that happened tonight. The young driver was quiet but only remember the face from that old guard the blood was seen, the officers wished him good luck but he would never forget the guard of the road.
