“The dormitory doesn't return.”
One of the mysterious short stories The nerve-shaking part of "Yam Sunthaya The Series"
Wright intends to update 2-4 stories per month.
Thank you for all the support and encouragement.
Students are naturally familiar with the word 'dormitory'.
Whether it's a university dormitory or a private dormitory, they all have one thing in common.
'Rent'
Rent is money paid to live in the dormitory for a certain period of time.
No one wants to stay in a dormitory forever. When you graduate or reach a certain point in your life, you will inevitably have to move out.
But there was a dormitory. The tenant never moved out.
When moving in Must stay forever...
Rarin, a young woman in her early twenties Tall and slender, with long flowing hair, she just graduated. Heading to the big city to find work
She didn't wait until she got a job to find a dorm.
She decided to find a place to stay first and then look for a job.
because of money problems
She didn't have the money to pay one month's deposit. Room fee for one month in advance
So she chose this dormitory.
'Na Mon Dormitory'
This dormitory is located in a small alley, not far from Navanakorn Industrial Estate.
Navanakorn Industrial Estate Located on Phahonyothin Road. Khlong Luang District Pathum Thani Province It is an old settlement. Companies in the industrial estate This mainly produces electronic products. After the great floods of 2011, many factories closed. One part is waiting for restoration. Some parts moved to other industrial estates, while others moved their production bases to neighboring countries.
This incident caused many dormitories, apartments, and mansions in the area to close down. Because when there are no factories, there are no workers. When there are no workers, there are no tenants.
This round-faced dormitory is no exception.
The dormitory has two entrances and exits. The front door is on Phahonyothin Road. The back door connects to the industrial estate.
The back door route used to be convenient for tenants when going to work. become a disadvantage This route is in the same alley as the route to the dam and reservoir. and connected to local department stores Unfortunately after the flood incident This small department store, located next to the main road of the industrial estate, closed.
The market is located next to each other. small shop and a small one-story dormitory in this area were affected.
Partly because there was no capital to improve the place after the water subsided. Partly because of the construction of a new dam. causing a large number of earthmoving vehicles to come in and out Dust spreads
It sounds sad. But perhaps this is good because there are rumors that foreign investors are buying up land in this area to build factories.
That's the future.
Nowadays, there are only old buildings, dilapidated, deserted, and no one cares.
When it is deserted, it is lonely. When it's quiet, it's lonely.
No more people use this route.
The loneliness is like an epidemic. The once bustling dormitory has become an abandoned building. People gradually moved out.
It is now 5:00 p.m.
Rarin, a tall, slender woman with long flowing hair, was standing in the parking lot of a five-story dormitory. The outside of the building was covered in moss. Make the original white color become mottled. Especially on the second floor, there were long black lines. Can see clearly
Flood marks
I'm not sure how much time has passed. Why is this mark still clear? It's like the water just receded a few days ago.
The parking lot was full of dead leaves and trash strewn across the ground. Grass grows from the cracks and the rustling of trees rustles in the wind. Makes the atmosphere look lonely
no choice At this time, her wallet was flattened. A young woman intends to come and ask to live with a senior. When I get a job, I slowly move out.
The moment when he was about to take a step forward. Just then, a sparkling crystal ball was seen at the entrance. Suddenly, the crystal ball moved out from the shadows. Made her flinch and take a step back.
A white cat stepped out.
The white cat sat down on the steps. Vertical lines of eyes stared at her, unable to look away.
The next moment, three little kittens walked in a row. cute and adorable demeanor
Rin steps up the stairs. His right hand reached out and he thought about stroking the kitten's head. Suddenly the white cat hissed. So she changed her mind and walked away from them.
As she was about to step foot into the building, a strong wind suddenly blew and dust billowed. The young woman quickly closed her eyes and raised her arms to shield her face. It's a good thing she's wearing a long-sleeved shirt. Therefore, the dust does not come into contact with the skin much. She hurriedly stepped inside.
After blinking several times, tears welling up in her eyes, she opened her eyes to see a dim hall. The caretaker's room is on the left before the stairs going up. It's a louvered room. The door is a plywood door. At this time, it was swollen and swollen, with nothing left of its original shape. Rarin pushed the door lightly, and it opened, revealing an empty room, thick with dust.
“Hmm, that's strange. There's no one watching or the watchman isn't there.”
Next to the attendant's room is a rectangular box for tapping the keycard. The outside is empty. There is no door and glass wall separating it. It is possible that it was damaged by flooding.
She walked around and looked at the room downstairs. All doors are locked. Except for the room along the fire escape in the darkest corner, the interior was completely dark and the smell was stinking. After your eyes get used to the dark She saw in the corner of the room a pile of swollen plywood cabinets. The walls of the room were filled with black mold, rags, and garbage piled all over the floor.
She stepped up to the second floor on the fire escape because it was closer than the main staircase. This dormitory does not have an elevator.
Unfortunately, this staircase doesn't work.
At the stair resting place There was old furniture piled up all the way to the second floor.
plank Steel frame of assembled bed, wardrobe, chair
So she switched to go up the middle stairs.
At 5:25 p.m. the sky was almost completely dark. Rarin needs to find a room sooner.
"building"
"building"
"building"
The sound of your heartbeat matches the sound of your footsteps.
The second floor walkway is dirtier than the first floor. Musty smell lingers. While hesitating whether to go in and have a look or not
"uncle! We're really stupid. Look at the water stains and that's the end of the matter."
If you accidentally forget, a flooded room will naturally become dirty. She looked for the water level mark. The black mark was high above his head.
“Third floor?”
Rarin chose the first room. It's right at the stairs going up.
Room 305
“Suddenly.”
“Add”
Luckily the door wasn't locked.
Room size 4
x 4
meters above, install a ceiling fan. There is a closet in front of the bathroom. The balcony door was open. The floor of the room was full of dust, dried leaves, piles of old clothes, dead birds, presumably flying in and not being able to get out.
Rin's eyes looked out onto the balcony. The sky outside was overcast. Saw dark clouds and heard the sound of thunder in the distance. From this point, you can see the lights from cars rushing along Phahon Yothin Road.
If looking from the Na Mon dormitory which is at the end of the alley. On the left you will see a forest of grass. On the right, you will see a long brick wall with a raised roof with ventilation balls attached to the top. It looks like a factory or warehouse roof.
Rarin looked down at his watch again, 17.45.
She closed the door and pressed the lock knob.
She took out a folded mat from her backpack and spread it out in the middle of the room, leaving aside the balcony door and the door to the room that was in the same place. Take out the oil lamp. Take out a bottle of kerosene and add it to the lantern. Light it and see your own shadow flicker.
Then the young woman lay down to rest. Leave the balcony door open Sometimes a gentle breeze blows. Gently caressing her body before slipping through the honeycomb hole on the wall.
Not sure how long I slept. She woke up to the sound of rustling in the closet.
"suddenly"
"suddenly"
“Add”
The closed cabinet door slowly opened, and the light inside the lamp flickered more than before.
Rarin used her elbows to support her body. Pick up the lantern that is placed on the bedside table. Turn the metal shaft to brighten the light. Just like when people are afraid, they must seek stability. Some took deep breaths in their chests, others clutched the amulets hanging around their necks. Some recited mantras. Some hold their loved ones' hands tightly.
The flame in the lantern lengthened. Just like your breath
The young woman stood up. His eyes looked towards the closet.
The door is still wide open.
heart pounding
His right hand raised the lantern high, his two feet slowly stepped, one, two, three, four, five.
five paces distance It only took a moment but it felt like an eternity.
The girl held a lantern forward. Light shines inside See only emptiness
“Fuu”
She sighed in relief. His eyes glanced towards the open bathroom door. Inside you could only see darkness, pitch black.
There was a strange attraction in the shadows. Until I could hardly take my eyes off.
Rarin held her breath and concentrated on her left hand. reach forward My heart beats loudly, loudly, loudly, holding my breath as my hand touches the knob. Feeling the coldness piercing my heart
She hurriedly pulled the door in with all her might.
“Pung!”
The moment the hand reached out to grab the knob My heart almost stopped beating. Something happened and grabbed her hand and pulled her into the bathroom. Just thinking about it makes the hairs on your arms stand up. Can't help but go back and think about it.
The balcony door remains open for ventilation.
When you turned around At that moment, the sound of a child crying rang out.
"cry"
"cry"
"cry"
At first the sound was still far away. Soon the sound moved closer.
Come to the front of the room!
"abundantly"
"abundantly"
The sound of scratching the door
Rarin wasn't sure what she should do.
You should open the door. Perhaps knowing the truth will dispel the fear in your heart.
What's going on outside? A heavy, uncomfortable feeling began to grip my heart.
no!
I won't take it any more.
Let's let it go first.
not fear It's a matter of safety. She opened the door and there was no ghost or mysterious thing outside. If someone comes up This is the scariest thing. Besides, right now she was alone in an abandoned building. There's no one nearby. Even if I shout out, no one will hear me. Why would she find trouble for herself?
'Eh! But what are we doing here?'
'Ah... Senpai said he's staying here. We will come and request to stay during the waiting period. So why has this place become a deserted place?'
Rarin raised her hands to her head. My head feels like it's going to explode. It's as if there's something inside. That thing is crawling inside the brain trying to reach the outside world. Suddenly, it felt like someone had stuck a sharp iron point into my nose, reaching the inside of my brain, and twisting it. Suddenly, my blurry memories became clear.
Unfortunately, the images were disjointed and torn.
She looked towards the balcony again. wide eyes Cold sweat covered my back.
It's like seeing some pictures. An ear-piercing scream was heard.
The smell of metal and the touch of cold metal rose to the right side of his chest.
"hurt…"
“It hurts too much.”
Rarin screamed. Rolling over on the floor
Both hands gripped the center of his chest.
Outside, a strong wind was blowing. The sound of the wind mixed with the torrential rain.
The wind and rain share the pain with you!
the next morning
"Thank you. Please come again next time." A cheerful voice called out.
Two young men carrying backpacks, looking weary and dark under their eyes, turned to leave the room. As he walked down the stairs, he didn't forget to gently stroke the white cat's head.
Some time has passed. A middle-aged man with his forehead raised high like a bald man walked into the room.
“Old man, that bitch is back again. Didn't you say that a shaman came to complete the ceremony?” A middle-aged woman My hair is curly. Back leaning on chair Turned around and talked to a middle-aged man in a teasing tone.
"Just invite the monks to pray."
“The monk?”
“No, just five ordinary monks.” The man sounded tired.
“Um,” the woman nodded as if not caring.
The middle-aged man knew that his wife was being sarcastic. Words and opposite thoughts It's like he cares but doesn't care.
At first, he bought this old building and renovated it to make apartments. Intended to be a long-term source of income after retirement. Who would have thought that it would now become a source of income? His monthly income is more than his income as a bank manager.
'Ghosts live in ghosts. People live among people'
This sentence sounds like it makes sense on the surface, but when two worlds meet, Become a ghost
This apartment Aside from the regular female ghost in room 305, There are still ghosts roaming the first and second floors. There were only the fourth and fifth floors where people could live. Instead of being deserted, every room was full. Everyone said the same thing. We are here and our work is progressing. Prosperous business
Rent from a few thousand per month. Now it's moved into the tens of thousands. Even so, no one had moved out.
The first to third floors are open to those seeking excitement. Guaranteed to be scary I didn't advertise anything. All customers come from word of mouth. Sometimes two rooms, sometimes three rooms, like last night there was one room. Two people who just returned
That young ghost was unlucky. I heard that after the great flood had passed. She came to help her senior boyfriend clean up. When he arrived, he found another woman in the room. I don't know how to argue. Or there was a hand in the wood, I don't know. The woman fell from the third floor and landed directly on the fence. Got pierced through the chest with a spike. He moaned in pain for a long time before he died.
Her voice still stuck. Remains in the minds of those who see it.
Ever since that day, she had come to room 305 all the time. Every time she heard a loud shriek.
Last night was the same.
A middle-aged man tried to help her to rest in peace. I've tried many times, inviting monks and famous tattoo masters. The more you invite, the worse it gets. At first there were only female ghosts. Now more wandering ghosts have arrived.
“Sigh.”
Time 17.00
Rarin was standing in the parking lot.
