EL SOL HA DESAPARECIDO | Creepypasta del Chavo del 8 (1/3)

Summary

The neighborhood begins the day peacefully, with everyone dreaming of their wishes: Doña Florinda imagines marrying Professor Jirafales, Kiko has all the toys he could want, Chilindrina dreams of being Chavo’s girlfriend, Don Ramón is rich, and Chavo is surrounded by ham sandwiches. Only Doña Clotilde seems oddly calm, as if she knows trouble is coming.

When Doña Florinda wakes, it’s 10 a.m., but the sky is still completely dark. The neighbors soon gather in alarm, and Chavo declares that the sun has disappeared. Don Ramón finds a radio report confirming that the darkness is global: the sun’s light has stopped reaching Earth, officials have no explanation, and people are being told to stay indoors. He tries to reassure the frightened children, while Doña Florinda insists it may just be a cloud—even though she clearly doesn’t believe it herself.

To lift everyone’s spirits, Don Ramón organizes a shared meal in the courtyard. For a little while, the neighbors chat and reminisce, hoping the sun will return. Then strange flashes and small spheres appear in the sky, followed by screams from outside. Don Ramón goes to investigate and finds Professor Jirafales standing motionless in the street, with completely white eyes and black liquid coming from his mouth.

Doña Clotilde warns everyone not to look directly at the lights. She reveals that her dreams have long shown her a world ruled by darkness and a mysterious cosmic being. Don Ramón dismisses her explanation as speculation, prompting her to slap him. Before they can make sense of what’s happening, the gate gives way and the apparently infected Professor attacks. Doña Florinda tries to reach him, but contact leaves her convulsing, with the same black liquid and empty eyes.

The survivors—Don Ramón, Doña Clotilde, Chavo, Chilindrina, and Kiko—flee into apartment 72 and brace the door. As the pounding continues outside, Chilindrina reaches for the neighborhood’s familiar catchphrase: “Oh, and now, who will be able to defend us?” The story ends on that cliffhanger.
