The Locked Room In The Corridor.

Attempt #8

The conference room at the end of the hallway hadn’t been used for several years because no one seemed to have the key for it.

The conference room at the end of the hallway hadn’t been used for several years because no one seemed to have the key for it. That night she was working alone till late in the office for the preparation of the next day presentation. When She was about to leave the office, she heard a sound of a knock.

She ignored the sound but few minutes later again she heard few knocks. It was coming from the same conference room which was believed to be haunted. Few minutes later the conference room door started to shake. Scared she ran towards the exit, then stopped midway.

She looked back and decided to walk towards the room. In the silent except the sound of her own footsteps she continued walking. Staring at the door for few minutes, she knocked softly and managed to say, “Helloooo…” In response there were continuous knocks and screeching sound of the furniture, scared she asked, “Anybody there???” In response she heard a frail sound, “Help Me..”

Someone was inside in the so called haunted conference room. She decided to inform the police. Few minutes later police came and broke open the door. She was shocked to see chained young girl. She was the same girl from the office who had gone missing since last few years and whose disappearance had caught media’s attention.

Today it came to light that She was not missing but abducted by her boss who kept her chained for all these years as she had hurted his male ego by rejecting his unwanted proposals. He used to drug her, tie her mouth so that she can’t shout and spread the rumours about haunted room, but luckily today she was able to knock and untie her mouth and caught her attention who showed guts to cross the hallway and find out the real reason behind the locked door. Their boss confessed the crime and was arrested.
