The Roommate

Two female roommates were staying in the dorms over Christmas vacation. They were the only ones in the dorm at the time. They wanted to study but spent most of their time on their laptop, watching videos and such.

One of them got hungry, so they took the keys and went to go get food. The remaining roommate stayed in the room alone. She started to get sleepy, so she went to bed. Suddenly, she heard a gargling sound, followed by some shuffling. It kept getting closer to her room.

She curled up in the bed. She tried to look small. The shuffling grew closer and closer. She wanted to lock the door, but her roommate had the keys. When the shuffling stopped, this scraping noise began. It chilled her to the bone.

She ran to the closet and curled up inside. She was trembling, but she tried to not move. She eventually fell asleep. The next morning, she cracked open the door to her closet and happened to see the mailman walk by. She got his attention and asked for help. He made his way to the room.

"Hey, you alright?" he asked.

"Yes!" said the roommate. "Is everything okay out there?"

After a few seconds of silence, the mailman said, "Yes, everything is fine. Just stay inside your room. I'm going to call the police."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing! Just stay where you are! Don't open the door!"

But the girl was already turning the handle. When the girl open the door, she saw the mailman. His face was pale and his eyes wide in fear. She looked down and screamed.

On the floor, laying in a pool of blood, was the other girl. She had a hatchet stuck in her head. Her nails were bloody stumps from scratching the door of her room for help.
