Emma was preparing for her Grade 11 exams. One rainy night, she stayed awake studying while her parents slept downstairs.

At exactly 3 AM, her phone vibrated.

A voice note had arrived from her best friend, Olivia.

"Emma... don't open your bedroom door."

Confused, Emma checked the timestamp. The voice note had been sent just seconds ago.

She called Olivia immediately.

No answer.

Then Olivia texted:

"Why are you calling me? My phone has been switched off since evening."

A chill ran through her body.

Before she could reply, she heard three slow knocks on her bedroom door.

Knock.

Knock.

Knock.

"Emma..."

It sounded exactly like Olivia's voice.

Emma's hands trembled.

Another text arrived from Olivia:

"I'm serious. Whatever you hear tonight, don't open the door."

The knocking became louder.

"Emma... let me in."

She looked under the door.

A shadow stood outside.

Then her phone vibrated again.

A new voice note.

This time it was only five seconds long.

A terrified Olivia whispered:

"It's learning my voice."

The knocking stopped.

Silence filled the room.

Relieved, Emma sat back.

Then she heard a whisper from inside her wardrobe.

"Emma... don't look behind you."

THE END

At Westbrook Academy, there was one place every student avoided:

Door 17.

The old classroom had been locked for years after a teacher suddenly disappeared during a late-night school event.

Most students dismissed the story as a rumor.

Avery didn't.

One evening, Avery and her friends stayed after school to work on a history presentation.

As they walked through the nearly empty building, Harper stopped.

"Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Mason asked.

A faint scratching sound echoed from behind Door 17.

Scratch...

Scratch...

Scratch...

Caleb forced a laugh.

"It's probably a mouse."

Then a whisper came from the other side.

"Open the door."

The four friends stared at each other.

Avery stepped closer.

Suddenly, a folded piece of paper slid out from under the door.

She picked it up.

Written in shaky handwriting were four words:

DO NOT LET IT OUT.

The corridor lights flickered.

The scratching stopped.

For a moment, everything was silent.

Then another note appeared.

IT ALREADY KNOWS YOUR NAMES.

A cold feeling spread through the hallway.

Harper backed away.

"We should leave. Right now."

Before anyone could respond, a loud knock shook the door.

BANG.

Another.

BANG.

And another.

BANG.

The handle slowly began to turn.

But the door was still locked.

Then Caleb noticed something at the end of the corridor.A figure stood motionless beneath a flickering light.

It looked like a teacher.

Old-fashioned clothes.

Pale face.

Empty eyes.

The figure smiled.

And whispered from across the hallway:

"Avery."

The lights went out.

When they came back on seconds later, the figure was gone.

So was Caleb...

Only one final note remained on the floor.

Avery picked it up with trembling hands.

It contained a single sentence:

THE DOOR WAS NEVER KEEPING IT INSIDE.

...

...

...

The End.

Hello my adorable ghostlings....

If you want your entry to be published, join my group chat "Whispers after 3AM."...

For word limit purpose:

Cause I, I, I'm in the stars tonight,So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight ,Shining through the city with a little funk and soul, So I'ma light it up like dynamite, woah-oh-oh.

Dreams disappeared,

There was no time to rest

It’s a cycle of school,

Home or an Internet cafe

Everyone lives the same life

Students who are pressured to be number

One live in between dreams and reality....
