Carlos was an ordinary guy whose days often passed in the shadow of the walls of the local store known for its American brands. Through the window, he often watched the sunlight playing hide-and-seek behind the clouds, while he mopped the floors, surrendering to the monotony of everyday life. He was a quiet and diligent lad, always striving to fulfill his duties to the best of his ability.

However, as he was wiping the floors one cloudy day, little did he know that he would face his greatest fear. Walking through narrow aisles filled with merchandise, he inadvertently turned into a small corner where he found an old wooden door leading to the warehouse. There, in the darkness that swallowed the light, he was confronted with something that shocked and terrified him. On the wall, as if emerging from the darkness of the warehouse itself, there was a cobweb, black and unusually dense. At first glance, it looked like any other, but something in that sight made Carlos pause and shudder.

He thought it was just a product of his imagination, but he couldn't resist the feeling that something was wrong. He decided to seek help, but before he could react, a customer entered.

The customer who entered the store was tall and muscular, with dark eyes that sparkled like stars in the night sky. His smile was a warm greeting that immediately caught Carlos's attention. Every movement was graceful, almost as if he were dancing through the room while carefully choosing products.

"Good day," said the customer, his voice echoing like a musical note in the silence of the store.

Carlos responded in the same tone, but he couldn't hide his unease. "Good day. Can you help me?" he asked, pointing to the growing cobweb on the wall.

The customer looked in the direction of the cobweb and briefly smiled. "Ah, it's just a cobweb. Nothing to worry about," he said, but his voice carried something deeper, something that left Carlos in doubt. As Carlos carefully watched his expression, he noticed a hint of something mysterious in the stranger's dark eyes, as if they were hiding deep wisdom or something even darker.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"You know, some say that a cobweb can be a sign of something more," Carlos spoke softly, feeling discomfort creeping into his throat.

The customer nodded, but his smile didn't fade. "Sometimes, things are just as they seem," he replied, his voice reaching like a whisper of wind.

As the conversation struggled to continue, Carlos noticed something unusual about the customer. His eyes sparkled in a special way, like stars shining through thick clouds, while the smile on his lips revealed teeth that seemed sharper than they should be. It was a feeling as if something hidden lay beneath the surface, waiting for an opportunity to emerge. Carlos felt a chill running through his body, but he decided to refrain from further conversation, restraining his fear and trying to maintain normalcy.

When the customer finally left, leaving Carlos to face his thoughts, the young worker felt relieved. However, that feeling didn't last long. As he began to mop the floors again, he realized that reality might be much stranger than he had ever imagined. The cobweb on the wall was not an ordinary cobweb, and the customer who passed through the door was not an ordinary customer. There was something elusive in that encounter, something that left a mark on Carlos's subconscious, making him wonder what was really true and what was just a product of his imagination.
