“No you frightened me!”
“Would you like a room?”
As he tired to settle down he looked more closely at the
lady, she had a gray shawl and a long skirt, with white hair and blue misty
eyes. In her hand was a long wooden staff with a ram at the top.
“ I think I would like one?” Phillip said
“ Here sign in and here is your room key… room number 5.”
Phillip signed in and picked up the key it was a strange room
key with a long leather strap and attached to a tin circle with a glass bubble
over it and a tiny 16 that was written in black and fuzzy. Below the tin were a
brass key with 2 screws and a small edge. Next to the key was a brass metal
five with holes in it.
“ What a weird key looks like it could be a necklace.” He
thought
In the lobby were two staircases one leading to the left side
and one leading to the right. Above his head near the staircases were signs of
room numbers.
On the left said “WEST SIDE CORRIDOR Rooms 1-5”and on the
right “EAST SIDE CORRIDOR Rooms 6-10”
“ Well guess I’m on the west side.”
In that instant a flash of lighting with a roar of thunder
came from the roaring storm.
Philip hurried up stairs to the room his heartbeat raced and
pounding as if someone was knocking. He reached the room trying to put the key
in with his shaky hand. Once he got it open a sudden rush of peace reached his
heart. The room had a nice bed with a polish wooden bed board, nice red
comforters and white pillows stuffed with feathers. Straight ahead at the widow
was heater to keep the room warm next to it was a small TV and followed by a
tiny bathroom. He placed his bags down and headed to the bathroom to freshen up
and but his nightshirt on and crawled in the bed. He lay there and suddenly he
heard a loud pound like a hammer, BANG BANG BANG. He looked out the window and
no one was there, he raced to the door it hadn’t been disturbed.
“Ok calm Philip you just had a rough night let just sleep ya
sleep.”
He crawled back under the covers and turned on the TV and
fell asleep.
BANG BANG BANG “ GET OUT GET OUT”
“ Who said that?”
“GET OUT GET OUT! OR I will kill you!”
His heart pounded louder than ever his body shook like a jack
hammer with sweat streaming down his cheeks.
“BANG BANG BANG IM COMING! THERE IS NO ESCAPE FOR YOU!!”
“I can’t take it anymore!” screamed Philip he raced out of
bed and tried to open the door it was stuck.
“I’VE GOT YOU NOW!”
Please leave me be! Screamed Philip
His adrenaline shot through his body and he propelled him
self out the window he fell 4 stories high. Philip was dead.
A tombstone laid were he died that night
PHILIP DIED SLEEP WALKING WITH TV ON.
