I checked into the small hotel. It is late. I am tired. I tell a young woman at the desk that I would like a room. She tells me to room 4 and she gave me a key.

"But one more thing, there is one room without a number on the door and always locked. Don't go in there and if you hear anything just ignore it please or come to me and I'll see about it."

I take the key and went to the room to sleep. The Night comes and I hear trickling of water. I cannot sleep at all, so I open my door. It is coming from a room with no number the room that the woman told me about.

I pounded on the door. No response. I look through the keyhole. I see nothing except the walls that was red. Water still trickling. I go down to the front desk to complain.

"By the way who is in that room?" She looks at me and begins to tell the story.

"There were 2 people a man and a woman, the woman looked just like you actually, that came down whilst they were coming down for a visit. At night the woman in there was murdered, the police say it was the man was came down as well, The man had slit her throat and painted the walls with her blood."

After that story I walked back to my room and thought to my self, why was the room still red then I'm sure they will clean it up.

I packed my bag and ran out of the room. I saw a man, my husband coming out of the room. I looked at the walls and they were white. He looked at me and smiled, and said
"you're mine darling!"

He took from his back pocket a knife, I screamed and then he grabbed me into the room and slit my throat with the knife.
