Ugh! Finally, I'm going to get my own place. House hunting can't be so hard, right? Come on, I got this!

Zylith: Age 18

First House. Is this rent on weed or something? The price is so freaking high. How am I suppose to afford this?

2ND Apartment.

"The rent is free, if you know..." says ***** stranger.

"No, I don't wanna know." Zylith replies looking away in disgust.

Third Place.

"Um, is that a dead body being carried out?" Zylith questions.

"Listen, Honey. I don't have time nor space! You want the place or nah? "Real-estate agent replies."

House Number....? I lost track.

"Beautiful space\, fully furnished. You'll be renting one of the two available rooms. Full disclosure\, this space is allegedly ***Haunted\,***" Landlady Howser says.

"That's why the rent is discounted at 50%."

"You mean this space wont put my wallet on a diet....and it comes with free friends who cannot leave the place?" Zylith jokes...."SOUL! [sold]."

The landlady starts to just stare at Zylith for a while and they say nothing for a little while.

"Laugh and I just might sign the contracts right now." Zylith courageously says. The landlady starts to laugh and pretty hard too. She must really want me to but this place if she laughing that hard and long. Will she stop? Will she end up saying something or will she choke on her own laughter? She quits laughing.

"I'm sorry, but let's be serious. Once you sign the one year lease. You're not allowed to break contract unless you find another renter to take your place, or you have to pay as penalty. I can tell you right now, plenty have jumped in because of low price....but most lasted a week." Landlady slowly says.

I start to wonder what to do now, but it may be my only choice since I don't have that much money. A place to live is still a place to live. Fully furnished and everything. The apartment is nice except the haunted part but what could be so bad about anyways?

"Think very carefully before signing. Say...aren't you a bit young for a space alone? Are you moving out for school?" The landlady replies sincerely.

I don't tell her anything, but...I came home one day to my belongings packed in boxes on the pavement in front of my parents house. There was a note on the top box and it read, "Good luck surviving on your own."

"Hello, young lady, are you still listening? Why are you moving out?" The landlady finally ask again.

"No reasons. I'll explore the rooms a bit."

No reasons aside from being tossed out....for disobeying my parents. I thought. They said, "Study to be a doctor or a nurse, at least." I said, "No." And that was the end of it.

"Wow! Amazing place. Even the paint smells fresh. The rent is low because of paranormal activities, really?" I say to myself aloud.

Bright, warm sunlight illuminating through the windows. A gentle scent of a misty waterfall from freshly washed floorboards. Faint sounds of cars and dogs barking in the distance. It's all so quaint. A perfect place to draw in.

Drip....Drip.....Drop....

Sounds like someone washing their hands...The realtor is still in the living room. I mean, it is open house, is someone else here?

Empty.

Damn, I'm cute! "Oh hey gurl~Is you single?" Zylith broadly says through the mirror.

That's odd. The mirror is foggy. as if someone just took a shower. I wipe the fogginess off the mirror until I find another person....a man. I gasp when I see him but I am still not able to speak or move. The glass starts to break but I don't know why.
