The Night You Should Stay Inside

Gerardo Nunez is 38 years old, has lived on the same street in Coacalco for 15 years, and has never been afraid of the dark. He works the afternoon shift at a grocery warehouse and usually gets home between ten and eleven at night. He is used to being out at night. Or rather, he was used to being out at night—before what happened five months ago on a Wednesday.

He got home at 10:30, ate leftovers, showered, and was in bed by midnight. He fell asleep instantly, the way people do after working on their feet all day. At three in the morning he woke up and remembered he had left his backpack in the trunk of his car with his work keys inside. If he couldn't find those keys by morning, he would have to wake up his manager, and that man before noon "had a hell of a temper." He got up, put on slip-on sneakers, grabbed only his house keys, and walked the half-block to his car. The trunk opened fine. He grabbed the backpack, closed the trunk, and turned around to go home.
