Do not close the door on your own people.

The village decided to obey. Every evening, they left their doors ajar, a glass of water on the windowsill, and a little pile of salt on the doorstep—not to ward off spirits, but to season their food, in case the dead got hungry.

Then the lights went out.

Father Almeida arrived with holy water, a crucifix, and a hangover. He stood at the cemetery gate at three in the morning, as instructed. The fog was thick as corn dough. He sprinkled the gate with water and recited the Pater Noster backward, which someone had told him was the proper method. Nothing happened. Then he heard footsteps—not one pair, but many. Soft, shuffling, like bare feet on dry leaves.

The gate creaked open by itself. The priest fled, leaving his crucifix stuck in the mud.

When Úrsula died at ninety-seven, no one in the village of San Jacinto del Monte believed she would stay buried. She had been a woman who could predict the arrival of rains by the way the iguanas blinked, and who spoke to the ghost of her husband every Tuesday at dusk. The morning they lowered her into the clay, the cemetery gardener swore he saw her open her eyes one last time—not in panic, but in recognition, as if greeting an old friend underground.

The oldest woman in San Jacinto, a blind centenarian named Encarnación, called a town meeting. She stood on the church steps, her white eyes pointing at the sun.

It seems you’re looking for a story based on the title "Los Suyos" by Gabriel García Márquez, likely expecting a PDF of that work. However, there is no known story by García Márquez titled "Los Suyos." It may be a mistaken memory of "Los funerales de la Mamá Grande" (Big Mama’s Funeral), "La increíble y triste historia de la cándida Eréndida y su abuela desalmada," or perhaps "Los nadies" (a poem sometimes misattributed to him).

And from that day forward, no one in San Jacinto del Monte ever did. If you're looking for an actual PDF of a García Márquez work, I'd be happy to help identify the correct title. Does "Los funerales de la Mamá Grande" or "Doce cuentos peregrinos" ring a bell?

The trouble began three nights later.

“Los suyos, Father. Her people.”

But following the magical realism style of García Márquez, I’ve written an original short story titled (which could mean "Her People" or "Their Own"). Here it is: Los Suyos By an admirer of Gabo

On his door, written in what looked like ash but smelled of myrrh, were the words:

“In the name of the Lord, who are you?” he shouted.

“That is Úrsula’s way,” she said. “She always took care of los suyos—her people. The living and the dead. Why should death change her? She has simply gathered her flock. The forgotten grandparents, the stillborn babies, the suicides they buried outside the fence. They all belong to her now. They will clean your houses. They will leave you gifts. But do not try to see them. And never, ever close your doors at night.”
