Encadenado a la vida de un demonio
Yo no sé qué pensarán ustedes acerca de Dios, el Diablo, los diversos demonios y el Exorcismo, pero yo como siempre me muestro escéptico, es decir, que lo pongo en duda, pero no descarto que pueda ser verdad. Desde luego hay gente que cree en ello, y sobre todo en este país que en un…
