Something Creeps

But What Is It?

I am in a room. I booked it for the night, but was a bit disconcerted by the boutique hotel. There are no human staff here, entry is by app and card.

I also haven't seen or heard anybody since I got here, I found my room on the fourth floor at the end of a corridor, but was shocked to find it had no window.

There is no one I can contact, just an email and the chatbot and the chatbot has one reply:

"I don't undrestand what you are saying"

I opened the door and then noticed this was the only one in the corridor, and it was at the end. There are no lights in the corridor, and it seems to merge into a foggy blackness after about twenty feet.

I am getting frightened.

I cannot physically get past the darkness in the corridor.

I am trapped here, and I can hear something creeping in the blackness.

I scream, but nothing happens.

I am alone and trapped.

My phone has just stopped working, I can't call anyone.

It is getting darker here, and there is is something in the corridor,

Something creeps.....

...but I don;t know what it is.
