THE ROOMMATE

Maggie had been excited to start college and was looking forward to moving into her dormitory. But when she met her roommate, Emily, she had a feeling that something was off. Emily never left the room and would spend hours staring at the wall with a blank expression on her face.

One night, Maggie woke up to find Emily standing next to her bed, watching her sleep. Maggie tried to brush it off as a weird dream, but it happened again the next night. And the night after that.

Maggie woke up

One day, Maggie decided to confront Emily about her strange behavior. But when she opened the door to their room, Emily was nowhere to be found. The room was empty, except for a note that read: "I've been dead for weeks. You've been sleeping with a ghost."

The Room was empty but.....

Maggie never returned to the dormitory and dropped out of college shortly after. To this day, she still has nightmares about her ghostly roommate watching her sleep. Maggie's nightmares grew worse each night. She would dream of Emily's ghostly figure hovering over her, with an eerie smile on her face. The experience had left her traumatized, and she struggled to sleep without feeling watched.

Maggie tried to seek help from a therapist, but they dismissed her story as a manifestation of stress and anxiety. She felt alone and helpless, with no one to turn to. That is until she met a psychic who claimed to be able to communicate with the dead.

Maggie was skeptical at first, but the psychic gave her some answers that chilled her to the bone. Emily had been a victim of a gruesome murder, and her killer was still at large. Her ghostly presence in the dormitory was a plea for help, a desperate attempt to find justice for her untimely death.

Maggie knew she had to do something, but she didn't know where to start. She had no evidence, no leads, and no way of finding the killer. But she was determined to try. She spent countless hours researching the case, talking to anyone who knew Emily, and following any lead she could find.

Months went by, and Maggie was on the brink of giving up. But then, a breakthrough happened. A witness came forward with information that led to the arrest of the killer. Emily's spirit finally found peace, and Maggie was able to sleep soundly for the first time in months.

However, the experience left an indelible mark on Maggie. She was never the same again and remained haunted by the memory of her ghostly roommate

She still has nightmares

Even though the killer was caught and justice was served, Maggie could never shake off the feeling of being watched. She felt like Emily's spirit was still lingering, even after finding closure. The experience had changed her, and she became more paranoid and reclusive, always checking over her shoulder.

Years went by, and Maggie moved on with her life, but the memory of her ghostly roommate stayed with her. She never forgot the lessons she learned from the experience - to always trust her instincts and never ignore the signs of danger. She would tell her story to anyone who would listen, hoping that it would serve as a cautionary tale.

As for the dormitory, it was eventually closed down due to rumors of paranormal activity. Students claimed to have seen Emily's ghostly figure walking the halls at night, and the university decided it was best to shut it down. Maggie knew that the rumors were true, and she felt a sense of relief that no one else would have to go through what she went through.

But in the back of her mind, Maggie knew that Emily's ghostly presence would always be there, haunting her memories and reminding her of the horror she had faced.
