One day, Martha (a pretty dentist; her blond hair was like gold, and she had two blue eyes that were similar to the sky) went out to work. But while she was walking, an old woman stopped her:
Be careful here… Do you have children?

- Eh… no… I don't have children yet.
- Please, be careful with Anna and Mikel… Please, save them.
- Who are they?- said Martha worried.

  But the woman didn't say anything and entered into an abandoned house. It was enormous, all the windows were closed, but the door was open. It also had an incredible garden, but without plants… That house was horrible, if you looked at it, it gave you a chill.
 Martha, surprised, walked down the street to her job, but while she was walking, she heard a woman saying: Save my children, please! If not they're gonna die!
  She looked up the street, but she didn't see anything. Later, running, she entered the abandoned house, but she didn't see even the old woman from the beginning. The house was empty, she was alone at that big abandoned house.
  She wasn't sure about being there alone, so she stayed there for a while and looked for the old woman… She explored and explored, but there wasn't anybody else at that house; only she.
She was very confused, she didn't understand anything; Where was the old woman? Had she really heard that woman?... She just wanted to get out of the house. As she went to open the door, a shadow ran behind her. Scared, she came out and slammed the door shut.

I need to call John, he may help me, she thought. 

- Darling, where are you?- said Martha to her boyfriend.
- I’m attending to a patient, when I finish I’ll call you- John was also a dentist, and both worked at the same centre.
- But today is your free day, you said that you were going to stay at home...
- I’m sorry, I can’t!- he said and hung up the phone.
  Martha sat on the floor and start crying. But, she also was listening to that voices: please, save my children...
At Martha and John's house...
Dear Mr.Murphy,
  Meet me at the abandoned house in ten minutes, don't say anything to Martha. I know what happened with Mikel and Anna. If you don't come, you will die.
  Regards,

After a while of time thinking about that, his phone started ringing. But, he didn't know that number.
- Hello?- said John.
- Mr. Murphy… Could I call you John?
- Who are you? 
- I'm the person who sent the letter… Why do you think that meeting mee is not a good idea?- said- If you don't arrive in eight minutes and thirty seconds, you will die. Goodbye, see you later; and stop thinking.
He was amezed, he couldn't say anything. He just took his coat and run to the abandonated house.

At Martha's job...
She had been listening to that voices all the morning. She thought she just had a headache.
  The phone was rang while she was attending to a patient. 
- Is it urgent, doctor?- said the patient.
  Martha looked at the mobile phone, it was John.
- Yes, I'm sorry. I must take it.
Martha took the phone outside her query.
- Why did you hung up the phone before?
- Please, meet me in seven minutes and thirteen seconds in the abandonated house, if not I'll kill John.
She raised her head and, behind her there were two kids.
- Hello, we are Mikel and Anna- said the boy.
- And I'm you- said the mirror, but she wasn't there. The person who was in the mirror was the old woman.
She didn't want to, but she took a gun and shot herself.

Her body touch the cold floor and stayed there for more than fifty years. Until two children called Mikel and Anna found it while they were playing in that abandonated house.

John was in danger. So, she ran to the abandonated house.
When she arrives there, there were two kids dead on the floor. John was in front of her, tied in a chair. And the old woman was behind her with a gun.
- I'm sorry, you loose. I'm not an old woman, I'm just an imagination of yours. Please, look at the mirror.
