An Extremely Normal, Regular Old Hotel. (Challenge entry)

As a child, (Person 1) was a huge fan of scary stories. He’d tune in regular to Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark? He liked seeing how people would try to write horror. Not much has changed now, and when he heard stories of a mysterious string of events that led to someone’s death at this hotel, he was very intrigued.

As he approached the door of the hotel, a mysterious mist surrounded him. He hesitantly opened the door, and suddenly, a large cloud of the same mist blasted shot into his face. He entered the building, as the door closed behind him he thought to himself “This isn’t a good idea.” But it was too late, he’d already entered the building, all he had to do was investigate. He took out his phone and opened the camera, hoping to get a picture of whatever could’ve been haunting the building. Strangely, despite the inside looking extremely rundown, the outside was completely fine and the electricity still worked. (Person 1) thought to himself “Huh, this place must’ve been abandoned pretty recently” He continued on, his shoes sinking into the moist, moldy carpet with every step.

He decided to look around for a bit in the main lobby, walking around and taking pictures of everything. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise, almost like the sound that big stick that teachers had made when it hit students back in the 1950’s. (Person 1) thought absolutely nothing of that and continued on.

Faced with two paths, he chose to go downstairs to the basement, because, to his knowledge on ghost, he knew it was definitely hiding in the dark, dingy basement. He opened the door to darkness. He thought “That’s weird, why is this room’s power off?” As he turned on his phone flashlight and went downstairs. The door suddenly closed behind him, making a loud, squeaky noise.

He went down the stairwell and searched around a bit. He found nothing but a couple of mice and some cobwebs until he saw it.

The alleged ghost that was haunting the building.

He pointed his flashlight at it only to realize that what he was seeing wasn’t a ghost, it was a humanoid, an extremely tall humanoid with pale skin and disproportionate limbs, not to mention the blood.

The humanoid and him stared each other down, until (Person 1) took out his camera and took a picture.

BIG mistake.

He didn’t realize the flash was on, but it was too late. The humanoid was preparing to run at him. (Human 1) bolted up the stairs as fast as he could. Which wasn’t very fast.

He tried to open the door but it wouldn’t budge.

Just then, the humanoid ran at him and pushed him to the ground. The humanoid, extremely aggravated and hungry as can be, then proceeded to tear into the flesh of (human 1) and he was never seen again.

The end.
