In a small town, a farmer named Ernesto lived alone in an old house surrounded by fields. His only companion was a large black pig named Bartolo. Ernesto had raised him since he was a piglet and said that Bartolo was special, almost human. He often spoke to him as if he could understand him.

However, the neighbors avoided the farm, whispering strange stories about noises coming from the barnyard at midnight. They said they could hear laughter, as if someone or something else were there. Ernesto always denied this, although secretly he had begun to notice that Bartolo was acting in a... peculiar way.

One night, when the full moon illuminated the fields, Ernesto woke up to hear knocking on his window. He got up, thinking it was the wind, but when he looked outside, he saw no one. He went downstairs to make sure everything was in order and decided to check the barnyard.

When he arrived, he realized that Bartolo had disappeared. The corral door was open, although I remembered closing it. Before he could react, he felt a warm breath behind him. When he turned, he found Bartolo, but something was wrong. His eyes glowed with a strange red glow, and a grotesque smile seemed to distort his snout. Ernesto tried to retreat, but Bartolo stood on his hind legs, as tall as a man. In a deep, guttural tone, the pig spoke: "You gave me your company... Now you will give me your soul." Before Ernesto could flee, Bartolo attacked him with a strength impossible for an animal. The farmer's screams were lost in the night. The next morning, the neighbors noticed that Ernesto's pig was loose, wandering around the town. When they approached the farm, they found no trace of the farmer, only deep marks in the ground, as if someone had been dragged into the forest. Since then, every full moon, the inhabitants say they hear strange laughter and heavy footsteps approaching their homes. Some say that if you see the black pig at your door, you shouldn't look it in the eye... Or you'll end up like Ernesto.
