The rusty machete

 Pedro had always treasured his rusty machete, treating it like it was worth its weight in gold. This old blade had seen everything, passed down through generations of his Mexican owners. It had been through thick and thin, working long hours in the family's agave fields. Back in the day, its edge was as sharp as a cactus needle, slicing through those tough agave leaves like butter. 

But then came that one evening, as Pedro was resting his backside under the fading sunset. He was in the agave fields, working on the leaves, getting them ready for that sweet tequila juice. And just when he thought he had everything under control, that machete turned traitor. It slipped right out of his hand, like it had a mind of its own, and disappeared into the tangle of thorny leaves. 

Well, you can bet Pedro was panicking. He dove into those thorns, searching in the dark like he'd lost a sack of gold coins. The moonlight was not helping, casting strange shapes over the agave, and a shiver ran down his spine as he was getting frightened by the shadows. His family had always warned him about the spooky stuff lurking in these parts, like restless spirits on the prowl for unguarded treasures. 

As Pedro kept searching for his precious tool, a bone-chilling breeze started whispering through the agave, making his heart race like a burro. He sensed something, something watching him from the shadows, like a hawk circling overhead. The dry leaves started sounding like sinister whispers, and the night got darker with each tick of the clock. 

Finally, after what felt like a hundred years, Pedro stumbled upon that machete. It was buried in the dirt,, and looking nothing like the rusty old friend he'd known. The moonlight spotlighted its blade, shiny and new, like it had just come fresh from a blacksmith. 

Well, Pedro was scared out of his wits, but he snatched that machete up and swore never to let it out of his sight again. That spooky night stayed with him, a reminder that there's more to these Mexican lands than the eye can tell.  

As Pedro walked out to the agave land, he slipped on mud, while he was winding his new machete. under the spotlight of the moon, the shiny blade went flying over him, and as if it was fate, the blade stabbed him through his chest. the last thing Pedro saw was his own face in the reflection of the blade, as if it was taking revenge for not taking enough care about it. the end.
