<center>Half sleep spell</center>
In an old tavern a man drowns his sorrows, everyone knew him as Efraín, he tried to start a company but because of a swindle he lost everything, his house, his car, he had nothing left, not even his wife who is pregnant, he only had a few bottles of liquor and a divorce letter that caused him the greatest sadness, in his thoughts he is trapped in what he could have done, he talks to himself and everyone who looks at him thinks he has gone crazy and in a way they are not wrong.
In his drunkenness he does not look or pay attention to what people say or think, he is only subject to the idea of wishing to go back in time to avoid his misfortune, as if he was waiting for a miracle to happen, after a drink he stares at the small glow reflected in the spout of the bottle, he thought he saw movements inside the light, he looked closer but could not see anything, however something was moving in that reflection, he brought the bottle so close to his eyes that his eyelashes touched the edge and the image was distorted, then he managed to see a window made of light, inside a tiny woman cleaning her house, she seemed to be very busy polishing a table, dusting the corners and when she went to shake the curtains she stood still, as if she could cross her gaze with Efraín.
As he concentrated on looking at the gleam in his bottle, he was interrupted by the tapping of firm fingers on his shoulder, and when he turned it was the same girl looking back at him in the gleam of the bottle
"Can you explain to me what you're doing?" the girl asked angrily.
"Ahh, but you! How is that possible?" wondered Efrain.
That's what I wonder, how can you be looking at me from here, what are you? The girl reddens her eyes and rests her hand firmly on the bar of the tavern and makes it tremble.
But Ephraim is not intimidated, on the contrary, his face saddens and he says:
"I am a loser.
The girl soon realizes that he's just a drunk. she leans on the bar and says
"can I have a drink please."
He looks her up and down and is a little dizzy, but still asks her.
"Who are you?"
"I'm a dream witch, I thought you were one of those depraved wizards that are stalking me, I came to give you a good kicking but from what I see you're just a wretch asking for a miracle" The witch didn't seem very encouraged by that"
"Are you going to help me?"
She rolled her eyes to the side as if the question annoyed her and said, "I'll be an honest girl with you, I'm not a helpful witch, I just live a simple uncomplicated life it wouldn't hurt to give me a drink but if you're going to ask me for favors I'd better get back."
She barely takes a step when she hears in the stillness of her abode the cry of a man, which along with the cry she also gives is heard half a mile away.
Efrain has somehow been transported to that dimension. They both look at each other in horror, Ephraim lets out a hiccup and collapses from his chair to fall asleep on the floor, she raises her eyebrows in a contracted manner and whispers.
"What happened here?"
She approaches him and hits him with her feet telling him, "hey wake up, wake up" but he barely opens his eyes and lets out a huge vomit, then the witch's eyes turn red and she shouts, "not in my house!" and kicks Efraín who goes spinning through the air leaving him asleep or rather demayado.
The next day the witch is brushing her pots in the kitchen and this caused Ephraim to wake up with a headache from the hangover and other body aches from the kick, he realizes it is not an illusion, but the noise torments him and he goes to the witch.
"Please, please don't make noises because my head hurts"
The witch turns her red-eyed face to him and gives him a new kick that leaves him stunned.
"Who am I?" asks Efrain.
she raises her eyebrows in a contracted manner and whispers
"I was out of line"
After a while the witch is calmer, she is not clear why Ephraim is in dreamland, she wants to get rid of him and invites him for a walk in the woods.
They walk together through the meadows and many fairies come happily to give them a big welcome, but the witch takes out a sprinkler of roses and sprinkles them, they all fall to the ground coughing and shouting, "Wicked witch, murderer!"
"Put this on your body Efrain is a repellent against fairies I guess you are not vaccinated against the evil eye"
Entering the forest he looked for a large tree with fruits of different shapes, some of which could be eaten like pears and apples, but others were objects, like a hammer or a pillow.
"You see, this tree will solve your problems, but you only have to count to ten thousand with your eyes closed"
And when Efrain starts counting, the witch runs away as fast as she can without remoldimieto because she thinks that the tree will provide her with food and tools.
when he arrives home he finds efrain counting the numbers in the living room
"five thousand one, five thousand two, was I going for five thousand two? better start again, one, two"
"stop counting, dummy! this is weird..."
"Ephraim let's go to the market of dreams if any thief sells his dreams he will do it in that place."
He follows the witch to the road and gets on a bus that instead of tires uses bird legs, the passengers are very quiet and the transport sets off, they arrive at a place that has no sky, it looks more like the inside of an infinite tube in the shape of a snail, the buildings occupy almost all the spaces and their roofs rub against each other as if there was no up or down in that place.
Walking down the street, Efrain is impressed by the monuments and sculptures, but the witch tells him not to look at them because sometimes they attack people. Hearing the warning, he abruptly straightens his head and attracts the attention of a huge statue that leans towards him, makes him nervous and walks with his buttocks clenched.
What are we looking for?" asks Efrain.
"We are looking for a seller of stolen dreams I am a noble girl so I don't know about these things" then the witch starts walking guessing a random route saying "it seems to me that it is this way" until she reaches a pile of garbage and with her feet she gently hits a can and from the ground rises a large piece of old and torn cloth taking the shape of a dirty tunic, its cover is folded in such a way that it looks like a face.
"Come, come, here I have everything at a giveaway price."
Ephraim narrows his eyes and looks at the witch "you don't know about these things, I think you've come here before".
the witch's eyes turn red, a vein marks her forehead and she gives efrain a kick screaming "what are you insinuating?"
Hey saco what's wrong with this human I can't get rid of him.
the old cloth checks on efrain who is lying on the ground because of the big kick.
"You can't get rid of him because if you do you will disappear, he is the one who is saving you, you will see that your time in dreamland is over, you have to live like a human but you refuse to live that life, if he leaves you disappear, if he stays you disappear, witch, I think you have something left. we will put this paper in his hands so he wakes up"
Efrain wakes up in the hospital, he thinks it has all been a dream, a nurse tells him that he has been unconscious for several days, he realizes that he has a paper in his hand, he opens it and it is a drawing of the room where he finds an arrow pointing to a route with a note on the cross, look for me.
He follows the map until he reaches an operating room where a woman is giving birth to a girl who is crying loudly and with red eyes, he sees her face and realizes that it is his wife and daughter, then Ephraim smiles.
