Scary Story - Directions
--
“Could you tell me how to get to my friend’s apartment?”
I turned around and saw a tall woman standing there. Her clothes were in tatters, and her legs were abnormally thin. Judging by the fact that she was swaying every so slightly, I got the impression that she was having trouble balancing herself.
Even though I assumed she was talking to me, she was looking in a completely different direction.
“1-19-4 Kasugatani, apartment 201.”
My breath caught in my throat. That was where I lived, right down to the apartment number.
“N-no, I’m sorry. I don’t know where that is.” I wanted nothing to do with this woman and made that very clear with my tone of voice when I answered her.
In return, she bowed in such a way that I thought the top half of her body might break off from her pelvis. She then managed to return herself to standing and continued to walk unsteadily down the road.
“What the fuck…”
I took a long detour back to my apartment just in case she tried following me. When I got to my door, I turned the knob to make sure everything was still locked up. The door didn’t open, and I sighed in relief as I unlocked it and went inside. I closed the door and locked it back up and swore that I wasn’t answering the door for the rest of the night.
“Could you tell me how to get to my friend’s apartment?” A woman’s voice came from somewhere within my pitch dark apartment.
