Noche nublada

De regreso a casa después de un viaje de trabajo, solo deseaba llegar e ir a su cama a descansar; era ya tarde porque todo estaba oscuro, pero más de lo normal por la capa de niebla en la vía y no le permitía ver con claridad. Trato de concentrarse en el camino y manejar algo lento, aunque cada vez era más difícil.

Todo estaba solitario y con una visibilidad casi nula, no quería detenerse porque parecía tener solo bosque de ambos lados, no se notaba alguna luz o movimiento de otro vehículo; parecía que nadie circulaba por ese lugar, muy extraño porque él se dirigía a la ciudad que no estaba a más de una hora de distancia, de manera que esa situación comenzó a incomodarlo hasta mantenía encendida la radio para saber si anunciaban alguna noticia.

Repentinamente, comenzó a ver a lo lejos algo que obstaculizaba el camino; se trataba de un incidente al final de la carretera, al menos era lo único que se le ocurría. Muy preocupado, los nervios se apoderaron de él, tanto que se imaginaba cosas tenebrosas y sentía miedo de acercarse para saber que era esa imagen grande y muy oscura que no se podía determinar desde donde estaba.

Al final, al estar cerca pudo ver que era un enorme árbol que por la brisa se había caído y estaba en medio de la vía, se alivió y sintió calma; se bajó del vehículo y pudo moverlo un poco para pasar por la orilla y llegar a la ciudad, se dirigió a informar sobre ese obstáculo para que los bomberos se encargaran y se pudiera evitar algún accidente. Luego entendió que el cansancio y el mal clima hizo que viviera unos instantes de angustia, que afortunadamente paso rápido.

Cloudy night

On his way home after a work trip, he just wanted to get home and go to bed to rest; it was already late because everything was dark, but more than usual because of the layer of fog on the road and did not allow him to see clearly. He tried to concentrate on the road and drive slowly, although it was becoming increasingly difficult.

Everything was lonely and with almost no visibility, he did not want to stop because it seemed to have only forest on both sides, he did not notice any light or movement of another vehicle; it seemed that no one was driving in that place, very strange because he was heading to the city that was not more than an hour away, so that situation began to bother him even he kept the radio on to see if they announced any news.

Suddenly, he began to see something in the distance that was blocking the road; it was an incident at the end of the road, at least that was the only thing he could think of. Very worried, his nerves got the better of him, so much so that he imagined dark things and was afraid to get closer to find out what was that big and very dark image that could not be determined from where he was.

At the end, when he was close he could see that it was a huge tree that had fallen because of the breeze and was in the middle of the road, he was relieved and felt calm; he got out of the vehicle and could move it a little to pass by the edge and reach the city, he went to report that obstacle so that the firemen could take care of it and avoid an accident. Then he understood that the fatigue and the bad weather made him live a few moments of anguish, which fortunately passed quickly.
