The ABCs of Death

It was not supposed to be like this.

I've been poisoning you since last year.

You were supposed to die in a few months.

Slowly, until now.

No one would have realized it was me.

Everything would've worked well.

It all went smoothly.

'Cause?

'Cause I heard the news all morning and I don't have any more time.

I'm sorry, it was going to be better.

But we had no time.

I can't get to sleep.

But its almost...

Almost eight.

Go to your room.

I'll be right there.

What do you want?

My parents have lent me the house with one condition.

Let's do nothing.

Look, Xo, you should sleep.

Being a child is a bitch, I know, but that's how things are.

But in my home I don't go to bed until 10.

Look,

in this neighbourhood children go to bed early.

'Cause otherwise...

The Abominable Snowman comes.

But there's no snow here.

Tell him that when he comes to pick you up.

Your uncle is wrong.

He's my cousin, not my uncle.

Yes, my dear, it does not snow in Mexico City. Any idiot knows that.

But many, many years ago, there was a snowstorm that covered the city.

It came from the distant region of Nepal and stopped here.

For 40 days, the sun barely came out.

Snowing every day. People could not get out.

And therefore it took them so much time to understand what was happening.

Many children disappeared from their homes.

You know what happened to them?

But your uncle knows, right?

They were found... dead.

Dead, of course. But that was not the worst part.

Their hearts were torn out.

Then they realized that whoever had done it only ate hearts of children.

When they finally found him,

one of the bloodiest battles in history took place.

The battle was so long that in 1958 the government had to make a truce.

Benito Juarez agreed with the Snowman

that he could live in a cold-storage container. But on one condition:

He could only go out at night.

And take the kids that were not in bed after eight.

They don't need to be asleep, but they must be in bed.

They have to show good will if they're not asleep,

and at least be counting sheep.

And how do we know it's him?

He sounds a bell and has a cart where he puts the bodies of children.

And shouts!

Sure...

Is he the Bogeyman?

If you had to choose, choose the Bogeyman.

That kind of being will only abduct you.

The Snowman from Mexico

rips out your little heart and before you die, you see him eat it.

Did you hear?

Fast, Xochitl, close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Do not make any noise.

If you have to do something, do it well.

She won't come out.

Oh, the garbage man...

or my mother will kill me.

Scare her with the garbage man... you're a bitch.

Goodnight.

97 sheep, 98 sheep, 99 sheep...

One sheep, two sheep, three sheep...

Bruce?

All right?

I heard a noise.

I heard a noise. Go see.

Bruce?

Bruce, did you see?

Alice?

Alice?

I heard a noise.

I heard a noise. Go see.

Alice?

Alice?

Bruce?

All right?

Japan, we have always believed, was a country protected by the gods.

But I do not believe there is a God.

Also, if there really is a God,

sensitive girls

wouldn't be ashamed so, if they had to fart.

Good morning.

Miss Yumi, were you looking?

Oh, no! I'm so embarrassed.

I saw that you did!

Instead of God, I believe Miss Yumi is protecting me.

When I'm with Miss Yumi, I feel very happy.

And uncontrollable itching sensation grows in my breast.

So gentle and pure...

I wonder if Miss Yumi can make a noise so shameful.

Just then, we felt the anger of God toward us.

An earthquake!

The ground started to shake!

- Gas! Here comes the gas! - Run!

Or maybe the black gas was a fart from God?

Miss Yumi!

I do not want to die in the gas!

If I must die...

it's your gas I want to die in!
