The Lady.

 THE LADY.

Whenever I take the late shifts as watchman at a big mental hospital, I usually hear low pitched voices of a woman laughing coming from an empty cell.

It made me real scared the first times at my night shifts, but after a while I got used to it and it didn’t even frighten me anymore since I heard It almost every day.

After a while the laughter and crying increased and became even louder and I could hear it easier and easier for each day, It felt like it was coming closer to me, trying to speak to me.

There were this special night at my work. I heard a voice mumbling out ”You shouldn’t stay here, soon, nothing will be the same here” and ended it with a laugh. And I was just sitting there, speechless about what had just happened, took a sip of my coffee and tried to concentrate on my work, but I just couldn’t since I heard the voice in my head over and over again.

When i was coming back home to my apartment, ready to go to bed I heard that my door closed itself, i didn’t even think about it until I was in my bed and the door opened itself, I started to wonder what the hell was going on, until I heard the woman’s laugh again.

 I lay in my bed, so horrified that I couldn’t even move, just laying there watching the door, the woman started laughing and in a quick second my door was slammed shut.

I couldn’t sleep that day, not at all.

But i still had to get up that night to work at the mental hospital, I didn’t want to but i had to anyways. The night in the hospital was extremely quiet, I didn’t hear any voices or strange noises for around 4 hours.

But it wasn’t until I heard a loud bang and crashing from my colleague’s office, I rushed to his office to see that everything was ruined, something had thrown his desk chair and everything, all the papers were laying on the ground and so did my college, I thought it was a murderer until I heard the laughter again.

It was her.

I heard a shallow whisper ”I told him not to stay, but he did it anyways”

I couldn’t move, she started laughing and I couldn’t take it anymore, I rushed as fast as I could to my car and drove off as fast as I could home and immediately called the police.

The following day I heard from my boss that my colleague got killed the other night, the cops came but they didn’t find any traces from any person killing him, no traces, no nothing. It was like a ghost had killed him.

It was her. and I knew it. and whenever i look at myself in a mirror, i see her, trying to grab me.
