My roommate is a ghost!

When haunting is more annoying than scary

I used to think that having a ghost in an apartment would be scary, like flashing lights and moving things on their own. Or there was a strange sound when I was sleeping. But what I encountered was a different story

The first day I entered the apartment The cereal box can fall on its own

"Shit, ghosts will definitely do it!"

And it spilled cereal on the floor for me to clean

"okay...Are you going to take this?"

That night, I was lying down watching a series and suddenly the story was changed to something else

"hey, I'll watch this. It's having fun."

"No, it's better to look at other things than this. It sucks to death," was a hoarse whisper

That's all it came to deceive me. I think it's just teasing me, no. It's more annoying to my feet

Many days have passed and I am sure that This ghost didn't come to haunt me. But it's just free to live in. That's it. My favorite brand of snacks often disappear. Or like the pizza I kept for the last meal or something like that

"Thank you for the delicious snacks."

Well, it's time to pay the apartment's monthly rent

"Hey, if you want to stay in this room. I also paid the room rent. Let's divide it up a bit. It's free to eat like this. It's not okay at all."

There was no reply at all. The next morning I received a $5 bill. From it I thought it would definitely be given after I complained

As I was about to go to work, I found that my shoes had all been stripped of their ropes. I almost laughed

"Really? This is a scam, right? Playing with pearls and laces."

Now I accept my fate. My apartment has ghosts. But it is not a vengeful spirit or a sad spirit that needs liberation. But it is a ghost that likes to stir its feet

If it really tries to trick me, someday I'll be ready. I have sage leaves and holy water until then. I was just trying to find a way for this ghost to help me divide the water and electricity bill by more than 5 dollars

"Let's go to work first. See you later, friend."
