The postmortem will…

Fulgencio was an insurance salesman leading a seemingly calm and uneventful life, or so it appeared at first glance. Yet, beneath his apparent normality lurked a man tormented by a dark secret and a fierce obsession. Fulgencio was both jealous and vengeful.

Elba, his high school sweetheart, was the love of his life. Together, they had shared dreams, laughter, and promises of a future together. However, on a fateful night at a gas station, their lives took a tragic and irreversible turn. A violent robbery left Elba caught in the crossfire of stray bullets. The bullet that ended her life had no name or face, but Fulgencio knew whom to blame: the chaos and evil of the world.

 

The gas station's security cameras captured the suspect of the robbery, but the justice system, with its technicalities and delays, allowed the killer to slip through the cracks of the legal system. Fulgencio found himself trapped in a maze of helplessness and rage. The loss of Elba consumed him, and his mind burned with a desire for revenge.

 

Desperate, Fulgencio revisited his will, a document he had forgotten for years. He schemed significant changes in post-mortem wishes.

 

As the years passed, Fulgencio became increasingly obsessed with finding Elba's killer, who continued to evade justice. He tirelessly searched for clues, tracked witnesses, investigated the suspect, and collaborated with private investigators. His life became an obsessive quest that distanced him from everything else.

 

Finally, after decades of searching, Fulgencio found the man behind the robbery, the mysterious killer known as Luis. Luis led a normal life, seemingly oblivious to the storm that was brewing. But Fulgencio was not willing to let him escape justice once again.

 

Fulgencio decided to approach the matter more subtly. He knew that direct revenge would lead him nowhere and that he needed to be cunning in his quest for justice. So, he devised a master plan he would execute after his death.

 

With time running out, Fulgencio left behind a meticulously detailed machinery in his will that would ensure Luis's fate. When his time finally came, Fulgencio passed away, leaving behind a world full of secrets and a deadly plot carefully crafted.

 

The execution of his will was a meticulous and legally flawless process. Lawyers, notaries, and witnesses supervised each step to ensure Fulgencio's posthumous wish was fulfilled. The will contained a series of instructions to be carried out precisely and timed.

 

Fulgencio's plan included the creation of a complex network of companies and contacts, all designed to lead Luis to his downfall. Fulgencio's investments in seemingly legitimate businesses allowed him to accumulate great wealth over the years, a fortune that would now be used as a tool for revenge from beyond the grave.

 

Unaware of Fulgencio's machinations, Luis continued with his everyday life, believing he had escaped his dark past. What he didn't know was that Fulgencio, even after his death, had control over his destiny.

 

Fulgencio's revenge unfolded slowly and subtly, like a poison seeping gradually into the victim's body. As the years passed, Luis began to notice that his life was falling apart. His businesses crumbled, his friends abandoned him, and his health deteriorated.

 

Fulgencio's will ensured that Luis lost his wealth, reputation, and health, all gradually and seemingly naturally. Each step of the plan was executed with the precision of a Swiss watch, and Luis was unable to comprehend what was happening to him.

 

Finally, when Luis lay on his deathbed, alone, penniless, and in complete isolation, he received a mysterious letter. The envelope contained a brief and chilling message:

 

Message in the letter: "Justice has been served, Luis. Your life has been your own sentence."

 

Luis died alone and in ruin, not fully understanding the nature of his downfall. From beyond the grave, Fulgencio had achieved his revenge, not through violence but through cunning and patience.

 

The tale of Fulgencio and Luis would serve as a reminder that revenge, even after death, can take many forms, and the desire for justice can lead people to unimaginable extremes. The consequences of past actions can arrive when least expected, and destiny, at times, plays its own cards in the pursuit of justice.
