Book Synopsis
I stood at the door of Room 404, clutching the key in my hand, hesitating to insert it into the lock. The motion-sensor lights in the hallway flickered ominously, casting an eerie atmosphere on this dreary autumn day.
The landlord had mentioned that the low rent was due to a death in the room, but I hadn't expected it to be this cheap—only eight hundred a month, utilities included.
The sound of the key turning echoed sharply in the empty hallway. As I pushed the door open, a musty odor mixed with an unidentifiable metallic scent rushed out to greet me.
I turned on my phone's flashlight and fumbled around until I found the switch on the wall. The old fluorescent light flickered a few times, crackling with electricity before finally illuminating the space.
The room was small, a one-bedroom layout. The wallpaper in the living area had yellowed and peeled away, revealing patches of crumbling concrete beneath.
Dragging my suitcase inside, the wooden floor creaked underfoot. Suddenly, a cold breeze swept in from behind me. I spun around to find that the sliding door to the balcony had been left ajar.
"Maybe the last tenant didn't close it properly," I muttered to myself as I walked over to shut the door.
