The incidents began on a Monday night on the third floor of the Alcorcón City Hall administrative building. Security cameras recorded how, at twenty past ten, the lights began to flicker frantically, computers restarted without warning, printers spewed out blank sheets, and internal phones dialed random extensions. The appointment system control screen at the reception also experienced a flurry of flashing lights.
The situation escalated the following night, and by Wednesday, chaos was complete. Officials found their offices buried under piles of paper, the result of printers that had been working non-stop for hours. Despite an exhaustive network review by the IT technician, no evidence of viruses, electrical failures, or hacking attempts was found.
“"It all starts here, José Luis."
Given the lack of technical explanations, José Luis, a mystery columnist known for investigating unusual phenomena, was called in. José Luis visited the building that same afternoon, accompanied by Pablo, the maintenance technician. During his investigation, José Luis asked if anyone with issues at their post had worked there, to which Pablo mentioned an administrative assistant, Carmen Ortega, who had taken early retirement years ago.
At twelve past ten at night, as José Luis watched, the phenomena recurred. A computer screen lit up, the cursor came alive, and invisible fingers began typing an urgent message. The final text that appeared on the monitor was: «It's not fair». Simultaneously, the hallway lights flickered violently, and the printers started working, filling the floor with sheets repeating the same message.
