spooky

It was around 6 in the afternoon but the sky was very dark already. It is now winter of course. When I came back to my apartment, all of sudden, I saw the light from one of the three rooms from the stairs. Scary. It can't be. For this room is the smallest in my apartment but used only for storage almost. Nobody has entered there for a long time. So who could it be to have turned on the light? And I am very sure, because the only key to it is somewhere in the mess of my bedroom. Who can open it?

I went up to the floor and opened my door. It was dark, very dark and scary quiet. I silently put my ears on the door but heard nothing inside. But the lights were on. I searched and found the key, opened the door. No one was there, but the lights were on. And while I tried to calm myself down, I pulled the swith thread.

But no matter how hard I tried, the thread was stuck there; and I tried five more times, the light finally went out.

So spooky. All of sudden, I thought about a scene I saw at the court yard days ago. There were piles of boxes, furniture, home appliances,flower garlands, all in paper of colors.( Those are going to be burned for the dead.) I have already lost a neighbour just one month before. Now again.

Could it be possible they were still haunting around, still missing the life here or wanting a little warm and bright place out of the cold wind and dark world...even though their visit was not expected.
