P.S. This story is based on a real place.
The story is based on some real experiences.
Five-story abandoned building It was a large, famous building from about 50 years ago, standing peacefully on one of the main roads. This building represents the prosperity of this city in the past. It is a private "no entry" place, but today it will come back to life...
"Is it a work of art?"
A young man's voice asked. But there's no one there. He stared at the poster with simple letters and only two colors: red and white. She picked up her cell phone and took a photo of the poster before sending it to her best friend.
Line Line Line
"Who sent this? People are busy." The person who received the message picked up his cell phone and looked at the screen.
But, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
"Is it a work of art?"
"Uh, are you going? This Saturday"
"Okay, let's go. I just want to find something to do to relieve stress."
"K"
[16.00] at an abandoned building
"Nat, do you think there's a ghost in this building?"
"Daddy's ghost! You have a dog's mouth."
"Haha, sorry, haha, the atmosphere is great."
Nat and Noom have been friends since kindergarten. Everyone must have friends. But there doesn't have to be a lot. We measure each other by quality. At least it must not make you feel lonely. Not having to be alone in difficult times is enough. Because in this world, no one wants to be alone. Everyone wants to have friends.
[1st floor]
“Young man, why aren't there many people?”
"It's the first day of work, right? I saw on the poster that it said until the end of the month."
Buildings, buildings, buildings.
Someone walked up to the two young men and greeted them in a friendly manner.
"Hello, please register here. This is a souvenir."
A middle-aged man wearing thick glasses walked in and led the way to the registration desk. On the registration table was a blank sheet of paper and a blue pen. There were names of about ten people who had entered first. Next to them they were probably souvenirs. Art has to be art, right?
"Uh? Is this a slide?” the young man asked, staring at a model of a red slide the size of a matchbox.
"Oh, yes, to match the theme of today's event. Every day has a different theme."
"What's the theme today?" Nat asked, confused.
“Today is the theme. It's 'together'."
The two young men listened to the answer of the man in thick glasses. It added even more to the confusion.
“Our work is displayed on every floor. Areas where entry is not allowed are marked with red ropes. Please feel free to take a look,” a middle-aged man with thick glasses said before extending his hand to the two young men.
[2nd floor]
"Come and look at this. It's really cool."
The young man persuaded his friend to walk into a small room that had been made into a bathroom in the building. A bathroom that doesn't look much like a bathroom. The walls were covered in dust stains indicating that they had not been used for a long time. The loose wall tiles piled up against the originally white floor have now transformed themselves into ancient relics.
The area consists of piled up dust. There were broken tiles all over the place. On the wall is a photograph of a person sitting alone in the dark.
"Wow, that's awesome," the young man said as his friend looked around the room.
“Man, this room is really scary. Let's go to another room." Nat said before leading the way outside.
A large hall, clearly showing the prosperity and lavishness of the economy during that time. Inside the hall, a large mezzanine appeared. Around the hall, various pictures were posted.
Snap, snap.
“Beautiful, this room is very big. In the past, it must have been very prosperous. Seriously, this room is bigger than the courtyard in front of the faculty,” said the young man, grabbing his cell phone and taking photos around the room.
"I'm going to the other room," Nat said, walking out the door. Leaving only his best friend who didn't listen intently. and still busy choosing the angle to take pictures
"Wow, the light from this angle is really beautiful. Nat, come and look at this angle... Hey! Where are you going?”
“Which angle?” came the voice of my best friend from behind.
“Damn it! I'm so shocked. Where have you been?"
"I'm in the other room," Nat replied in a calm voice.
"Oh, I'm bored in this room. Go to another room."
The young man led his best friend out to a large square inside the building where various sculptures were displayed on every corner. On the floor were white papers with different messages, and there were also footprints that showed that He must have been through a lot as well. The young man picked up the papers and read them with interest.
"If you come to live with me You will receive good compensation."
“Our company created this fund to be stable. You will not be disappointed if you join us.”
"We take care of everyone like family. Come stay with us, sir.”
"What? Hey, it's like direct sales, huh?"
The young man finished reading those messages and laughed softly before scattering the paper on the floor as before. He still walks around looking for a corner to take photos to upload in
To get likes from followers
"I'm bored. Let's go up to the next floor," the young man said. But his eyes were still fixed on the phone screen, not looking away.
[3rd floor]
"What room? Shit! Super peak"
The two young men walked into a room that was set up with magical elements. In one corner of the room appeared a shrine that had been wrapped with colored lights until it was completely bright. In one corner there was a female doll sitting on the floor in a squat position. Both hands were tied with rope. From another angle appeared a half-animal person.
The head of the figure is that of a buffalo, but the body is human. Red water was poured all over his body, which looked like blood as well. The most amazing thing has to be the white coffin that is arranged like a real thing in the middle of the room. Throughout the room, purple, green, and yellow lights flashed alternately. On the ceiling is a red siren. Its light flickered throughout the room, giving goosebumps to those who walked in.
“I think this room is the best in the building. You look so real.” The young man walked over and picked up a doll of a woman wearing a Thai dress who was sitting neatly folded on the floor and took a couple of selfies before walking back to his best friend.
"You pretend to play everything. I'll see you for real. I'll be the one to ordain you,” Nat said before leading the way out through the door you'd just entered.
“But if you compare it to the hall just now, what I showed you? That one is really beautiful. I like that one more. It doesn't look good."
"Which hall?" Nat frowned, staring at the person asking.
"Ah! Well, in the hall just now you were called, look! You.” The young man shook his head and led his friend to the next room.
Along the way, there were small trees and green stains of moss from the humidity inside the buildings all along the way. The red rope that was used as a barrier was a sign that we would not be held responsible if we were the ones who encroached. On the third floor, there was a large, wide balcony that stood out of the building. The strong wind caused the hot air to disappear somewhat. Nat stood in the middle of the balcony before turning to speak to the person who had just followed him.
“You guys, the weather here is nice. I'd like to stay here for a moment. You go up first. I'm really hot." Nat said while making a fan gesture.
"Oh, I'll go wait for you on the rooftop. You, I'm not very patient." The young man shook his head but wasn't too annoyed. He walked up the stairs that led to the next floor alone.
[Floor 4]
The sound of Thai music playing slowly gave goosebumps to those who had just arrived. with excitement The young man looked for the source of the sound and found that it was coming from a speaker that had been installed in a corner of the room. Many parts of the 4th floor area were not open for viewing. Because it is a high floor with the design shape of the building This floor has only half the space of the lower floors.
Moreover, some areas are not safe to walk and explore. This floor was filled with a lot of red rope.
"Not much at all?"
The young man turned left and right to look at the things around him before walking to a corner of the room. It was a large vent with wind constantly blowing inside. The team used a red rope to mark the area to express their responsibility if anyone fell down. His clothes were blowing in the high winds. The scenery up here can see the city quite clearly.
“I never thought I would be able to stand here and admire the view. It's really beautiful in a building that's been closed for 50 years,” the young man muttered to himself. Before that, a hand touched him from behind.
"Shit!!!! Ouch!!! It's you, I'm shocked." The young man turned around and looked at the person who had just arrived.
"I'm really depressed. How shocked are you? Let's go to the next floor."
The young man's best friend grumbled before leading him up to the next floor. while his dear friend walked away He noticed that something about his friend had changed.
“Nat, what the fuck happened to your back? All stained?"
The young man walked over and brushed off the white stains on Nat's shirt. It was like a dusty palm. But there wasn't just one palm.
"I'll wash it soon. It's okay. Probably leaning on something."
[Floor 5]
The rooftop of this building houses one art installation. It's a strange looking piece. And it's surprising how he got it up here.
“Go on, you, go up, soar into the vastness of space!” the young man teased. It was a memorized line from his best friend's favorite cartoon. before bursting into laughter
"I think about when I was a kid. I haven't played in a long time, it's a slide."
It was a red steel slide displayed at the edge of the deck. The staircase was turned towards the person who had reached it. The end of the board turned out to lie in the building.
The young man picked up his cell phone camera and took photos around him, then checked the pictures for a while. before lifting the camera again and turning towards the red metal slide.
"Shit!!!!"
The young man swore loudly as an image appeared on the screen of his best friend climbing up the red metal slide. The young man hurriedly rushed towards his best friend, but his friend was already standing on a red iron slippery platform, preparing to be released.
"Hey!!! You come down!!!! Are you crazy? What the fuck are you playing!!!!” The young man gripped the stairs on the way up tightly. Before reaching up, he hoped his best friend would grab him and bring him back down.
"I'm scared. Can you come up and pick me up?" Nat's voice was smooth and smooth like the young man had never heard before.
"Wait there, stay still, friend!"
The young man slowly climbed up the red metal slide until he reached his friend before holding onto his friend's hand as tightly as he could in his life. At that moment!!!! So much!!!! The young man lost his footing due to the push of the person he called his best friend. He rushed to the outside of the building. His body was attached to the end of the red metal slide.
One hand held the slide. And with the other hand, he held his dear friend's hand tightly.
"Hey!!!! Shit!!!!” The person above suddenly looked down and looked at the person below with a smile. The young man turned up and looked. An image appeared of a young man dressed all in black, ragged all over. Then suddenly there was a loud laugh that echoed throughout the rooftop!!!!
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"
“Shit!!!! What is this? Help me, please help me!!!!!" The young man shouted as loud as he could, but his sweaty hands from the hot air caused the hand holding the slide to move. gradually falling down
"Hee hee hee, help me, anyone, anyone, hee hee, hee hee, Nut, help me!!!!"
[3rd floor]
Suddenly, Nat, who was standing on the third floor balcony, felt like he heard someone calling out to him. He turned around and saw no one. before walking back into the building to find his friend Nat walked around for a while, and after a while, a middle-aged male team appeared.
“Brother, have you seen the friend who came with me? I tried looking for it and couldn't find it.”
"Oh... Heh heh. I'm going down to the first floor. Please go downstairs and wait. Just a little more. Just a little more and I'll be down..." the man in thick glasses said smoothly. Making the person asking feel cold all over.
[1st floor]
Nat grumbled the whole way down. When he reached the first floor, his eyes lit up, relieved to finally see his best friend.
“Fuck you young man!!!!! I'm shocked. I've been looking for you for so long. Where have you been?" He rushed towards his friend quickly.
“Around here, you might be going against me. I'm looking for you too. I've been looking for it for a long time..." The young man said in a calm voice. Before turning to look at the thick-spectacled man who had just followed her down, she gave him a soft nod.
"Let's go back." The young man turned around and spoke to his best friend in a calm voice. before using his hand to touch his friend's back to push him to walk out of this building in a hurry.
Nat left this building with a strange feeling. Before turning to look at the building again, feeling like a person who had forgotten something important.
"oh! P'Nat, are you back yet?" A group of young women walked in. greeted with familiarity
"Ah, that young man is in a hurry," Nat said before walking back out in a hurry, as if someone was pushing his back.
“Young man, are you coming too?” The young woman turned left and right before shrugging her shoulders once in bewilderment. before stopping in front of the registration desk
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of something falling from a high place.
Thump!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The girl and her friends turned around at the sound. He pretended to go out and look but was stopped by an explanation of the source of the sound from the staff.
“It must have been the cleaning team who dropped something. There's nothing. Please register first! This is a souvenir of the event. Today we have the theme 'in the room'."
The young woman received the item and looked at it.
"Is it a female doll? Wear Thai clothes as well."
A smile appeared on the corner of the middle-aged man wearing thick glasses again...
