Diario d'Hasko: La vez que escuché risas en el campo

Ayer fue una noche bien rara. Estaba solo en la granja, como siempre, cuando de repente escuché risas, bajitas, allá por el campo. Pensé que serían los chiquillos del pueblo jugando alguna broma, así que no le di mucha importancia. Pero a medida que la noche se hacía más oscura, las risas se hicieron más claras y más cercanas. Era como si alguien estuviera a unos cuantos metros, riéndose en la oscuridad.

Decidí salir con mi linterna, dispuesto a espantar a quien fuera que estuviera jugando. Pero cuando llegué al lugar exacto de donde venía el sonido, no había nadie. El campo estaba vacío, solo se oía el viento entre las hierbas y, en algún lado, un búho que cantaba. Me dio un escalofrío, pero me dije que sólo sería mi imaginación. “Los ruidos de la noche,” pensé. Volví a la casa, cerré la puerta y apagué las luces.

Estaba a punto de dormirme cuando las risas volvieron, esta vez tan cerca que parecían venir de justo fuera de la ventana. Me levanté, sudando frío, y miré hacia afuera. No vi a nadie, pero las risas seguían, suaves, como si alguien estuviera susurrando secretos que yo no debía oír.

Ya no podía ignorarlo. Agarré mi linterna, salí al patio y grité: “¡¿Quién anda ahí?!” Solo se escuchó silencio, y luego, como si el aire mismo estuviera jugando conmigo, una voz bajita respondió: “Nosotros, Hasko… venimos a jugar.” Mi corazón se detuvo un segundo. La linterna temblaba en mi mano mientras buscaba de dónde venía esa voz, pero no había ni un alma a la vista.

Corrí de vuelta a la casa, cerré con seguro todas las puertas y ventanas y me escondí bajo las cobijas. Las risas se fueron apagando poco a poco, como si se desvanecieran con el viento, pero esa noche no pegué ojo. Y desde entonces, a veces, cuando cae la noche y todo está en silencio… creo escuchar esas risas otra vez, allá en el campo, esperándome.


Hasko’s Diary: The Night I Heard Laughter in the Field

Last night was a strange one. I was alone on the farm, same as always, when suddenly I heard laughter, soft and distant, coming from the field. Figured it was just the town kids playin’ a prank, so I didn’t pay it much mind. But as the night grew darker, the laughter got clearer and closer. It was like someone was just a few yards away, gigglin' out there in the pitch-black.

I grabbed my lantern and headed out, ready to scare off whoever was messin' around. But when I reached the exact spot where the sound was comin' from, there was no one there. Just an empty field, wind rustling through the grass, and an owl hootin' somewhere nearby. A shiver ran down my spine, but I shrugged it off. “Night noises,” I thought. I went back inside, locked the door, and turned off the lights.

Just as I was driftin' off to sleep, the laughter came again, this time so close it sounded like it was right outside the window. I sat up, cold sweat runnin’ down my back, and looked out. I didn’t see a thing, but the laughter continued, low and soft, like someone whisperin' secrets I wasn’t meant to hear.

I couldn’t ignore it any longer. I grabbed my lantern, stepped out onto the porch, and shouted, “Who’s out there?!” Silence answered me… and then, like the very air was playin’ tricks, a quiet voice whispered back, “It’s us, Hasko… we’ve come to play.” My heart skipped a beat. My lantern shook as I tried to see where the voice was comin' from, but there wasn’t a soul around.

I bolted back inside, locked every door and window, and hid under the covers. The laughter faded, like it was carried off on the wind, but that night I didn’t sleep a wink. And ever since, sometimes, when night falls and all goes still… I swear I can hear that laughter again, out there in the field, waitin' for me.


하스코의 일기: 밤에 들려온 웃음소리

어젯밤은 정말 이상했어. 평소처럼 농장에서 혼자 있었는데, 갑자기 들판에서 낮고 먼 웃음소리가 들리기 시작한 거야. 동네 아이들이 장난치는 건가 싶어서 별로 신경 쓰지 않았어. 그런데 밤이 깊어질수록 그 웃음소리가 점점 더 선명해지고 가까워지는 거야. 마치 누군가가 어둠 속에서 몇 걸음 떨어진 곳에서 나를 보고 낄낄대는 것 같았지.

그래서 등불을 들고 밖으로 나갔어. 웃음소리가 나던 곳으로 가서 누군가를 찾으려고 했는데, 아무도 없더라고. 텅 빈 들판, 바람에 흔들리는 풀잎 소리, 그리고 어디선가 들려오는 부엉이 울음소리만 있었지. 등줄기가 서늘해졌지만, 그냥 '밤중 소리겠지' 하고 넘기고 집으로 돌아와 문을 잠그고 불을 껐어.

잠이 들려던 찰나, 웃음소리가 다시 들려왔어. 이번엔 너무 가까워서 창문 바로 밖에서 들리는 것처럼 느껴졌어. 차가운 땀이 흐르면서 벌떡 일어나 창밖을 봤지만, 아무것도 보이지 않았어. 그런데 웃음소리는 여전히 낮고 부드럽게 이어지면서, 마치 내가 들으면 안 될 무언가를 속삭이는 것 같았어.

더 이상 무시할 수가 없어서 등불을 다시 들고 마당에 나가 소리쳤어. “거기 누구 있어?!” 대답은 없었어… 그런데 마치 공기 자체가 장난을 치는 것처럼 낮은 목소리가 대답하더라고, “우리야, 하스코… 같이 놀러 왔지.” 심장이 덜컥 내려앉는 것 같았어. 등불이 손에서 덜덜 떨렸지만, 주변엔 아무도 없었어.

집으로 달려 들어가서 문과 창문을 모두 잠그고 이불 속에 숨었어. 웃음소리는 바람에 날아가듯 사라졌지만, 그날 밤 내내 한숨도 못 잤어. 그 이후로, 때때로 밤이 내려앉고 고요해지면… 그 웃음소리가 다시 들리는 것 같아. 들판 어딘가에서 날 기다리듯이.
