"This apartment is pretty creepy," Chaitu said to me.
"Everywhere in Sri Lanka is creepy! Remember our last hotel? I swear I saw a ghost!" I replied.
"I wanna go back to Canada!!"
"Stop being such a scardy cat! Maybe some ghosts are nice!"
"Ghosts? Nice? You've gone crazy Thuvi! The stories I heard about ghosts are never 'nice.'"
"Chaitanya! Thuveesha!" My mom called from the kitchen, "Come here!"
"Yes Sashi aunty?" Chaitu said when we got to the kitchen.
"I need you two to go to room 207 on thirteenth floor to get something from Sheila aunty."
"Sure, mom. What do you need us to get from Sheila aunty?"
"An envelope, and a box of chocolate box."
"Okay aunty! What floor did you say again?"
"Thirteenth floor, room 207."
"th..th..thirteenth floor?" Chaitu asked in a scared voice.
"Mom, I don't think Chaitu wants to come, he might be a little too scared of the 'thirteenth floor.'" I teased.
"No I'm not! Let's go Thuvi!"
"Are you sure Chaitu? It's 9:30 at night, aren't you scared to go to the 13th floor?"
"Thuvi shut up and come!"
