After dinner, we go back to our room through the same
creepy elevator and corridor. I jump on my bed and start to play on
my phone, trying to forget about the unexplainable incidents. While
I’m on my phone, Tod goes to take a shower but he comes
immediately back out.

“I’m too afraid to draw back the curtain. I think I'm scared
of hearing something again.”
“Again? What did you hear the first time?” I ask, hoping
Tod’s just too paranoid.

“I heard a woman’s moan coming from the bathtub,”
he says solemnly.
“Well then, let’s go check it out,” I start to believe him.

We cautiously walk to the bathroom. Together we hold back
the curtain slowly. I do not see or hear anything. However, Tod
looks pale and frozen.
“What’s the matter, bro?” I nervously ask Tod.

“Don’t you see it? There’s a burned woman in the bathtub,”
he says shakily.
“You are wasting my time, I’m going back to bed.”

At the moment I turn back, I see a shadow quickly pass the
door. I am terrified but I decide to keep it to myself. I try to focus on
my phone and ignore my surroundings. Tod only took a quick bath
but it feels like an eternity. Now it’s my turn.

Tod looks at me challengingly and said, “there’s nothing to
be scared of. You seem to be such a brave person.”
