It was 3 in the morning.
I couldn't sleep.
I looked away from the clock and tried to fall asleep again. But it was impossible,I just couldn't sleep. I thinked of what happened yesterday, maybe that could bore me and make me fall asleep.
Every day is the same day for me. It's always wake up,go to work,eat,sleep.My life is normal. What would you expect from a normal guy like me? When I die, nobody would even notice.
My parents left me at the apartment we used to live in. Said they were gonna come back but they didn't.I was just 12 back then. An old woman named Martha found me in the streets and raised as if I was her child. She was the best person I've ever met. But she died when I graduated high school. Good thing I'm kind of a survivalist. I made myself graduate college and got a job. Found a place to stay in and now I'm here. Got everything that I wanted but not quite happy.
I stood up.
Got myself a glass of water and drinked it.
It was cold. I regretted drinking it because it was too cold. And the temperature was cold too. It was about christmas.
I layed down in my bed and tried to fall asleep again.
The condominium I lived in is fine.
It has only 6 floors.
And about 150 rooms.
The 1st floor serves as a lobby.
Every floor have about 30 rooms.
I'm in room 24.
The room I got was fine.
Good for a man living alone. Complete for living.
I still couldn't sleep. I reacged for my laptop that was on top of the chair that was dragged close to the bed. I dragged it close so if I fall asleep so I wouldn't be sleeping in my workspace again. I turned it on and searcged for news.
I read:
KILLER IN FISHVILLE STILL NOT CAUGHT

This made people in my town scared. Nobody in the street when clock strikes six. The town was always deserted until that killer started.
I closed my laptop before I read more news that only made me nervous.
I tried to sleep again.
Until-
Strange sounds came from just outside my room. A muffled voice came out and I heard a few words: "Stop……....HELP……….SOMEONE…….FUCK YOU…….."
This made me stand up.
I headed for the drawer in the kitchen and grabbed the kitchen knife. I went to the door and peeked at the peeping hole.And what I saw was horrible.
The woman that lived in room 25-that's just across my room-Wendy Peppers,is being dragged out of her room and she is resisting. The man dragging her was masked and wearing a black jacket and black jeans. Her face was covered in blood. And he was carrying a knife. Her mouth was taped. And her feet and arms are tied. She was shaking her body to resist the masked man but he didn't stop.
I was too shocked.
I wish I could help her. But this man must be the killer that killed 30 people in 12 days. I will also die if i'd go out, he'll stab me at the time I'll open the door.
The man successfully dragged wendy out of the room. And continued to the corridor toward the stairs.
I opened the door.
But then I heard footsteps closing in.
It was toward the door.
I closed it just as he came in front of my room.
I looked at the peeping hole.
I saw his mask.
It was just a blank white mask with holes for eyes.
He was carrying a paper and the knife.
I know what he was going to do so I backed from the door just as he stabbed the note to the door of my apartment.
