One day prisoner V. Content Warning.
I told her a well-crafted lie. In the end, she said, "I hope you have a pleasant stay here!" Downstairs, I greeted you, "Good morning!" and you responded with concern. I went to the newsstand on the corner and bought a newspaper from the paperboy. I checked the date: August 18, 2008. The headlines on the front page were captivating. I crossed the street and went to the café for breakfast, ordering Brazilian coffee and toast. While reading the newspaper, the café owner said to me, "I feel like I don't know you." "Yes, I just moved here," I replied. "Do you like it here?" he asked. "It's great. Everyone is friendly, and the coffee is fragrant," I smiled at him.

Mr. B is dead. It happened within twenty-four hours of him moving into this building. Mr. B moved in last night, or to be precise, early this morning at midnight. The night was foggy, and two men in black accompanied him, carrying three large suitcases. They knocked on my door, where I was on duty, requesting to rent an unfurnished room. It was a strange request since most people prefer furnished rooms.
