The Crayon

..

A married couple who just returned home from their honeymoon decided to buy a house. The couple was very happy because they managed to get the house at a very cheap price. It was a nice neighborhood, close to the city and just a short walk from a shopping center.
One day, the husband was walking down the hallway, and he spotted a red crayon lying on the floor. The couple did not have any children so the husband wondered where the crayon had come from. 'Perhaps the previous residents left it behind', he said to himself, as he casually thew it in the trash.

The next day, the husband came home from work to find another red crayon lying in the exact same spot. He was very puzzled and decided to ask his wife about it. The wife grew pale in the face when he brought it up. She told him that everyday since they moved into the house, she's been finding red crayons when she was cleaning. They were always lying in the same spot, at the end of the hallway.
The husband was standing in the hallway, wondering about this weird phenomenon. When he began to notice something was not quite right. The hallway was too short. He tapped on the wall at the end of the hallway, and heard a hallow sound. Curious, he began pealing off the wallpaper, despite the protests of his wife. Behind the wallpaper they found a pair of sliding doors. It was as if someone had carefully hidden the entrance to the closet door, a small room. The husband discovered that the sliding door had been nailed shut.
He got a hammer from his tool box, and began to remove the nail, one by one. After pulling out the last nail, he slowly opened the sliding door, to reveal a small hidden room. Looking inside, they saw that the white walls of the little space were covered in words scribbled in crayon. Over and over again were the words
'Mommy, I'm sorry. Let me out.'
