Chapter 1

(Hola, welcome to this book. try not to expect too much. Also, this book is dedicated to the Instagram group chat Checkers church ily all. get out your napiks cuz this is going to be a wild ride)

You silently stood by the door listening into the sounds of the outside world like you usually did. Since no one had inhabited the room that you were stuck in (seemingly forever) for a long time, you usually spend your time listening to the daily routine of the residents of Addison Apartments. Right now the sounds of Lisa humming while her vacuum whirred around soothed your ears. Since conversation was very limited around room 402 you usually ended up listening to Lisa cleaning the rooms around yours and the hall outside, however the last time you saw her go into this room was years ago right after yet another family moved out.

Although you knew being left alone for so long was a dream to most of the other undead residents here, you felt as if it was a nightmare. As a living person you were always somewhat social and enjoyed talking to others. But now that you were basically denied any human contact you realized how much you miss and need it. Even though the ghost residents of Addison Apartments somewhat counted as human contact, you found that talking with angry spirits, former cult members and even your own unresponsive mother could never come close to speaking with real humans. You figured the only reason you were still sane was your little sister Megan whos still bright smile, company and pure innocence somehow kept you from becoming as angry and depressed as the other spirits.

But even she couldn't keep you totally happy, the afterlife was just too depressing for that. The walls were decayed and grey, black sludge and puddles were everywhere you look and not to mention... he was there. The thing that you used to call your father now a black shadow that haunted the afterlife and occasionally the living. Growing up you saw your father to be an amazing role model and father alike, but after moving into these cursed apartments everything changed. Suddenly your father became angry and hostile, threatening and even hurting you and your family up until the day you were murdered. But all that was now far in the past and only crossed your mind when his shadowy form was nearby and threatened to hurt you again.

All of those things combined were what kept you in the land of the living most of the time instead of rotting away with the others in the afterlife. You only really went there to visit Megan and make sure she was okay. Lately, ever since a woman was murdered in her room the spirits became more active, but not in a good way. Your mother was more quiet than ever and not to mention your demon of a father was more dangerous and enraged than usual.

Suddenly the sound of a soft melody that you could only recognized as a ringtone rung out to bring you back into the present. You attentively listened to the conversation the best you could through the door. You heard Lisa talking to the muffled voice of what you could only recognize as Mr Addison. Before hanging up Lisa added, "Alright Mr Addison i'll start cleaning room 402 for the new residents, i look forward to meeting them!"

Your heart skipped a beat. Although you knew showing yourself to another human was dangerous and stupid, you might have a chance at finally listening to something other than the college kids music and Lisa's cleaning supplies. Suddenly the door you were putting your ear up to was being flung open and Lisa walked through, every cleaning supply anyone would ever need piled into her arms.Thankfully you were able to disappear into the afterlife before Lisa could see you. As you looked around the now grey world around you and the shadowy form of Lisa cleaning your room, you decided to visit Megan and tell her about the new residents. Although you figured this family probably wouldn't be any different from the ones that screamed at the sight of your ghostly form or moved out before you even got the chance to try and show yourself, you couldn't wait until the new people came in.
