【Scary Hotel Room Episode】

Title：【Scary Hotel Room Episode】

One day, a man on a business trip was staying in an old hotel. Staying there was very cheap because this hotel was built on top of a school that burned down. If it was up to him, he wouldn't stay at this hotel. However, the company he worked at made the reservation for him, so he had no choice.

The man took the keys for his room from reception and went to look for it. Once he found it, he unlocked the door, entered inside and turned on the lights. The room was dark and dusty. It was a small room, with 1 single bed, small refrigerator, small safety deposit box and a bathroom. A painting was hung on the wall, above the bed. The painting had a girl with a long, black hair and big eyes, sitting alone on a bench in a park. The man thought the painting was creepy. He had already had dinner outside, so he decided to take a bath and go to bed immediately afterwards. He took off his clothes and entered the bathroom. When the man opened the faucet of the bathtub, there was a sound, "Burble! Gurgle! Gurgle! [→Gofu! Gobo, Gobo!；Japanese Onomatopoeia]"

The water wasn't running properly. Moreover, there was no hot water. He waited for a little while, hoping he'll get some hot water. Eventually, the hot water did come, but was running very slow. It took a long time to fill in the bathtub. While waiting for the bathtub to be full, the creepy painting on the wall came to his mind. It brought back a memory of a horror movie he had seen, in which large amounts of long, black hair came out of the faucet.

The man got a bad feeling and gave up on filling in the bathtub. He decided to take a quick shower only. However, the shower handle was also not functioning properly and the water wasn't hot enough. The man gave up on waiting, put on his robe and went back to the room. He saw the painting again, as soon as he entered the room. The creepy images from the horror movie returned in front of him once again, so he decided to have a beer in order to relax. He thought he would stop imagining things if he gets drunk enough.He sat on the bed and started drinking the beer slowly. He sighed... Suddenly, he heard a loud sound, coming from the bathroom,

"Bang! Spang! Bang!"["Don!! Don!! Batan!"]

″Rat-a-tat! Clash″ ″[Don, don! Gachan!]″

"Spang! Wham!" ″[Don! Dadan!]″

The sound was pretty loud and echoed around the room. It sounded like someone was nervously beating on the bathroom door. The man got scared. "I wonder if the girl from the painting is at the bathroom.. Is she knocking on the door..?" He timidly and reluctantly headed to the bathroom. "What if the girl is there? He started panicking.

"Rat-a-tat! Spang!"

"Bang! Wham!"

The violent sound continued to echo from the bathroom. He gathered some courage and opened the bathroom door. Eventually, he peeked carefully into the bathroom.

Finally, he then realised what was happening.

Big quantities of hot water were coming out from the shower nozzle, and the hose was moving around like a snake. The hose knocked over the bottles of shampoo and conditioner, on the side of the bathtub. The shower head was slamming the bathroom wall, under the high water pressure.
