It was a quiet evening, Sally who was a 17-year-old girl had just shifted into her new apartment which seemed really cozy but gave chills at the same time. She had just gotten into the town; she had come there for her college which was not very far away from her new apartment. She thought it was quite strange that such perfectly fine apartment had been given to her for a really small amount of rent, when she asked one of her neighbors if they knew the reason behind it, they had simply replied saying that it was because there were a lot of cobwebs and mice running around in that apartment. She thought that wasn’t a good enough reason to rent it at such a short amount as it would be perfectly fine after being cleaned, then she left that topic aside after all she was getting profit out of it. She was really tired from all the shifting so she went towards the washroom to take a warm shower so she prepared the water and after a while went in. while she was in the shower she felt as though someone was in her apartment, she wrapped herself in a towel and then peeked out but absolutely nothing, it was as she had left it, so she ignored it and thought that it might’ve been a mouse or something like that and then came out of shower and changed into comfortable clothes to sleep in, after all it was almost 11 pm on the clock she made some toast and had a cup of milk before going to sleep. It was near 2 am when she woke up as she heard some sound, at first, she thought it would be the mice and decided that she’d capture the mice first thing in the morning but then the sound became louder it was as if someone was crumpling the paper and writing. Poor sally was terrified, she knew for a fact that it wasn’t mice as they for sure didn’t know how to write but the question was, who was it then? She was sweating a lot and had begun shaking, when suddenly she heard a voice saying “how could I forget to make coffee! I should make it right now. The voice for sure wasn’t of a lady as it was quite deep and low pitched. Sally was lightly whimpering now as she was so scared. Soon the person could be heard slurping on his coffee as it began to write again. Sally had a sudden urge to go the washroom but what would she do? There was a spirit just outside waiting for her, after a while when she couldn’t handle it anymore she started taking slow steps towards the door, then she slightly opened it and saw the man who was sitting at he desk focused, a few moments later he spotted her and at first just observed her and then asked “who are you and what are you doing in my apartment.” “I should be the one asking those questions not you!” She said trying to hide how scared she was. Wait are you my new roommate? He asked
‘huh? roommate? But the person who I rented this apartment from didn’t mention I’d be having a roommate. she said
‘she probably forgot, I guess’ he replied
‘yeah’ she said now relieved as he was not a trespasser or a ghost. ‘well then I’m sorry for disturbing your sleep’ he said
‘Disturb? You almost scared me to death!’ she said
‘how so?’ he asked now confused
‘I thought you were a ghost or something like that’ she replied
‘if I were a ghost, I’d be the most handsome one that you will ever see’ he said in a playful tone and then winked making Sally lightly blush
‘whatever, I’ve to go to the washroom and then I’ll go to sleep’ she said
‘Oh ok’ he replied
She did go to the washroom and then back to sleep but the next morning when she got up her roomie was nowhere to be seen; it was as if he had vanished into thin air. She called out his name a few times but no answer so she went to her neighbor’s apartment to ask them if they had seen him go but when she asked them about it, they said that there was no such person and she was probably dreaming. She went back to her apartment where she found his writings she read them and saw that the year he had written on them was 2005 while it was 2007 going on, she thought that it must be some thing in his novel and then she found that his name written on the book so she searched his name on the internet but the results said that
“DANIEL RIVERS WAS A REALLY GOOD WRITER BUT HAD DIED IN 2005. And so on….
She refused to believe what she saw so she searched the books name and the results said that
“THE WRITER’S SPIRIT WAS THE NOVEL THAT WAS ABOUT TO BE RELEASED BY THE WRITER DANIEL RIVERS BUT WAS NOT RELEASED BECAUSE THE WRITER HAD DIED IN 2005 BEFORE HE COULD FINISH IT” she was petrified, she immediately packed her bags and rushed towards the door where she was greeted by her roommate or should I say her deceased roommate, she started trembling at his sight her lips quivered and her mouth went dry and then she went unconscious the last thing she could listen to was her roommate calling out her name in a concerned tone
