The Touch 3

“What room are you in”, the man asked her.

“I’m in room 224”, she said.

“Then the room next to you would be room 223”, he said.

She rolled her eyes and said, “Can you please hurry, someone needs help”.

He grabbed the key and lead her to the room. Knocking on the door four times, he said louldy “Is everything ok in there?”

There was no answer, so he knocked again. When there was no response he unlocked the door and opened it slowly.

“Hello”, he yelled into the room before stepping in.

Rachel followed behind him. Looking around the room she realized noone was there. The hotel clerk was looking in the bathroom, while she studied the wall. There was a crack in the wall right where she was guessing her bed was on the other side. She walked over to it and touched the crack. She snatched her hand back when she felt a shock to her fingers.

The hotel clerk came out and said to her, “I dont think anyone was in this room.”

“Thats impossible, I heard screaming”, she said.
