Aaron laughed nervously. “Very funny.”
“I’m serious.” Elijah turned towards Todd. “You remember,422Please respect copyright.PENANAX7w9Cjcw5G
right? I’m pretty sure that was his name.”
“I don’t recall,” Todd admitted. “What I do know is that the422Please respect copyright.PENANA0saW4io1ax
neighborhood is dangerous, so that could just be the name of some guy who went422Please respect copyright.PENANArn0sYnSsOI
missing. The crime is why this place is so cheap.”
“Of course, Calvin wouldn’t think twice about renting in a422Please respect copyright.PENANAudAecd0lab
place like this, that damn cheapskate.” Elijah faced Aaron, wide-eyed. “You422Please respect copyright.PENANAUR2FJztIYM
know what, I think that missing guy used to sleep in the same room that you’re422Please respect copyright.PENANA1qgtykKkFm
in.”
“Okay, cut it out.” Aaron sighed, regretting ever mentioning422Please respect copyright.PENANApeJUFDLpuY
Caleb to them.
Todd shrugged and returned to the fridge. “Yeah sure. He’s422Please respect copyright.PENANAMr1TaSGtwq
probably getting the name wrong anyway.”
“No, I’m pretty sure it was Caleb Morris. Try googling it or422Please respect copyright.PENANAbkDke7O5Mh
something,” Elijah argued.
By now Aaron had enough and left. No way was he going to422Please respect copyright.PENANAOStyJXoHoq
listen to some bullshit ghost story.
Though that did remind him of the fact that he was crushing422Please respect copyright.PENANAWjJSiabYzM
on a virtual stranger. All he knew about the guy was his name, job, and that he422Please respect copyright.PENANA8grZBBiZTx
was drop-dead gorgeous. But why would Elijah pick on him?
He decided to shrug it off and ask one of his other422Please respect copyright.PENANASq3Iuc1vwn
roommates later. He wasn’t close to any of them since their living arrangement422Please respect copyright.PENANAU4GJIR60RD
was more for convenience, but he didn’t have any other close friends to talk to422Please respect copyright.PENANAha29FLg9pi
either.
Being in your early twenties sucked sometimes.
Rather than looking up any information on Caleb like Elijah422Please respect copyright.PENANACW6VWaYVAc
suggested, he opted to watch a few comedies in the living room until Trevor,422Please respect copyright.PENANAvyJ2fzHJlm
the bulkiest, quietest guy in the house, arrived home and asked to watch a422Please respect copyright.PENANAj6xAgA8xcV
stream. Aaron had no problems handling the reins over to the giant of a man but422Please respect copyright.PENANAVQB7sypTb6
held no interest in watching a random guy play video game either.
He returned to his room to decide on his next project. It wasn’t422Please respect copyright.PENANA6OiHNdiabx
a very fulfilling day and by nighttime, he was drowsy from boredom. The good422Please respect copyright.PENANAxxgDaqw3fX
news was that his last post had hit over two hundred thousand views. That didn’t422Please respect copyright.PENANAQTOp9XvEwd
sound like a lot, but considering the ad revenue, it was plenty to make him422Please respect copyright.PENANA0kFXUxkuRy
happy. Aaron planned to make it big one day so he could move to California and422Please respect copyright.PENANANhLP89VDAo
rent his own condo. Until then, he’d have to survive living with his quirky and422Please respect copyright.PENANALDNCjIQurn
somewhat creepy housemates.
Speaking of creepy, Aaron glanced towards the door,422Please respect copyright.PENANAaQJAW7Cctd
recalling how odd it was that Caleb was able to show up without making a sound.422Please respect copyright.PENANAiBqWyxC2qz
The guy could very well be a ghost the way he always snuck in.
No. Don’t be stupid! Aaron shook his head. That was a422Please respect copyright.PENANA9Nz5opIYlc
ridiculous thought, but he couldn’t help staring at the door well near422Please respect copyright.PENANAuSpRSxzNTr
midnight. He was beginning to feel a little concerned about being all by422Please respect copyright.PENANApYHzRHywwP
himself.
Pulling up a streaming site on his laptop, he decided to422Please respect copyright.PENANAjWtRAfNc2v
watch something less scary since the vibes in the room were getting to him. He422Please respect copyright.PENANA59g1hjH1T8
was just about to start one of his favorite old cartoon series when he noticed422Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ1MAEOfOK
Caleb walking towards the bed.
Despite being startled, Aaron successfully prevented himself422Please respect copyright.PENANAiFRBDm4qr4
from tossing his laptop this time.
“How the heck do you do that?”
“Do what?” Caleb sat on his bed with a grin. “Come home?”
“No.” Aaron set his laptop aside so he could focus on his422Please respect copyright.PENANAQmBfml4ZWr
roommate. “How do you get past that noisy door hinge all the time? The damn422Please respect copyright.PENANAMjXbeC69ln
practically screams whenever I open it.”
“Oh,” Caleb shrugged.
Aaron made a face, mimicking his shrug and shaking his head.422Please respect copyright.PENANAj1VwkSFG7K
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing. I just… never noticed it made a noise.”
“You’re kidding right?” He stood and proceeded to demonstrate422Please respect copyright.PENANAOupwLwL2gf
by flipping the door open and closed, causing a loud screech to echo throughout422Please respect copyright.PENANAUWEuSeYG9j
the house.
“Fucking cut it out!” Someone yelled from the other end of422Please respect copyright.PENANAPhG8xfzGmP
the hall. Realizing he was being an ass, Aaron stopped.
Caleb shrugged again. “It never does that for me.”
“Well, then you must have some sort of magic torch because I’ve422Please respect copyright.PENANAaCTIIG96E6
never been able to get it to NOT do that.
“Guess so.”
“Hey!” Aaron did a quick scan before chucking a stuffed422Please respect copyright.PENANATlGYti3pvY
koala at the man, who once more dodged with ease.
“Why do you have so many stuffed animals?” Caleb laughed.
“I do not.” Aaron retorted, quickly kicking the small box of422Please respect copyright.PENANAOMZVyRVp9w
beanie babies under his bed. He still had multiple boxes of odd things at the422Please respect copyright.PENANAi4kXIT20aL
foot of his bed, all full of toys, action figures, and games. None of which he422Please respect copyright.PENANADCLSD2SX5s
planned to unpack soon.
Caleb pretended not to see and just smirked.
Satisfied that they would be dropping the subject, Aaron422Please respect copyright.PENANAQCEdXaincn
shuffled his feet awkwardly as thought over what his housemates had said422Please respect copyright.PENANA3eZqV137Ig
earlier.
“Hey,” he decided to bring it up jokingly. “You know, the422Please respect copyright.PENANAg3dUIvU2jx
other guys said some crazy shit earlier. Something about how a guy with your422Please respect copyright.PENANAj1qM0WTbyh
same name went missing some years ago.”
“What other guys?” Caleb asked.
“Well, it was just Elijah. Todd didn’t seem to know422Please respect copyright.PENANAcDtgAECwDA
anything. But you know, our other housemates,” he gestured vaguely to the now-closed422Please respect copyright.PENANAbh5StSC1Er
door. “One of which just yelled at us from down the hall?”
A look of pure confusion crossed the man’s face. “What are422Please respect copyright.PENANAJFXewisLWL
you talking about? There’s no one else in this house.”
“What do you mean? Wait, is this some sort of joke you and Elijah422Please respect copyright.PENANANWf49D8K4Q
have going on?” Aaron quickly came to his own conclusion. “Of course, that’s422Please respect copyright.PENANADvPVslizGA
what’s going on.”
“What?”
“You guys are assholes, you know that?” He replied, half-angry422Please respect copyright.PENANAsjseC1ImAE
and a tad amused by the elaborate prank.
Caleb frowned. “What are you talking about?”
“You can cut it out now. I know you’re just playing some422Please respect copyright.PENANA7xvdnnT3rk
crazy stunt on me here.” Aaron put his hands on his hips, to which the other422Please respect copyright.PENANAOBkqI10Jot
man continued to stare at him like he was insane. They had a quick staring422Please respect copyright.PENANAThBgSpdbU8
match before he got fed up with the act and started to fume. “Why are you guys422Please respect copyright.PENANASG0UajLx3c
doing this? Is this some sort of ‘right of passage’ like in college where you must422Please respect copyright.PENANAzF3FQO8Dz9
get picked on before you’re accepted into the house or whatever?”
“No?”
“Then why are you two trying to convince me that you’re some422Please respect copyright.PENANAsb6TDfaaRl
kind of ghost?”
Caleb’s face immediately went blank, but then slowly seemed422Please respect copyright.PENANAMuxZykAQng
to shift to realization and h glanced back at Aaron, wide-eyed. Then, a loud422Please respect copyright.PENANAAicjhporaG
banging noise from downstairs echoed throughout the house, startling them both.
Caleb glanced towards the bedroom door, terrified.
“Who the hell is knocking at this hour?” Aaron asked422Please respect copyright.PENANANVe0zWcZEy
nervously. They weren’t in the safest neighborhood, and he knew better than to answer422Please respect copyright.PENANA5GNn3fvHKp
the door in the middle of the night.
Caleb shivered, “What else did they say?”
“What?”
“What else did they say about me?”
Aaron frowned. “Cut it out already!” He stormed up to the422Please respect copyright.PENANAwdoyCoFsBh
man, now scared by the knocking downstairs and sick of this ruse. “I know you’re422Please respect copyright.PENANAZDkjgNifHe
not a ghost. If you were, I wouldn’t be able to do this!” He then went to grab422Please respect copyright.PENANAuUpS0z9feN
the guy by the shoulder but was completely caught off guard when his hand went422Please respect copyright.PENANAsojS5T3aQC
straight through.
Stunned, Aaron stared at Caleb, then at his hand, then back422Please respect copyright.PENANAshKD43wBvB
at the guy he’d been crushing on. Then, right before his eyes, Caleb began to422Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ky8BinBju
fade with a look of sheer horror as the banging noise stopped.
Every hair on Aaron’s body stood on end and he backed up until422Please respect copyright.PENANA4mTuRyXkuo
he tripped over the edge of his bed, flopping onto the covers.
He heard his housemates emerge from their rooms, murmuring422Please respect copyright.PENANAYxmYjqHJlM
among themselves. Immediately, he bolted towards the door and flung it open to422Please respect copyright.PENANANZWtLyKp44
a startled Elijah.
“Did you hear that?” Elijah asked. “It sounded like someone422Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pa9RX5ipf
was trying to break in!”
“Should we call the police?” Todd asked, standing in nothing422Please respect copyright.PENANAfe5Jw6yMi1
but his boxers and a pair of blue bunny slippers.
Aaron shook his head. “You mean you all heard that too? It422Please respect copyright.PENANANLLbisWTlC
wasn’t just me?” For some reason, his mind had immediately reasoned if his422Please respect copyright.PENANAtzKfo33dLU
roommate was a ghost, then everything else happening was probably all in his422Please respect copyright.PENANAvbm7slbQZN
head too. Yet here the others were, just as scared as he was, though not for422Please respect copyright.PENANAwBjRyqY98L
the same reasons.
The others shook their heads. A few of them were missing422Please respect copyright.PENANA6duNkeuSt4
from the hall, either ignoring the noise or somehow sleeping through it. Either422Please respect copyright.PENANAF1ZKMEIS6R
way, they all stood and listened to see if whoever it was would knock again.422Please respect copyright.PENANArTM5XhNTzG
When they didn’t hear anything, they played a few rounds of rock, paper and scissors422Please respect copyright.PENANAVoBsis94Hs
to decide who was going downstairs to make sure none if the windows are open.
Doug, a hairy, barrel-chested housemate, was the unfortunate422Please respect copyright.PENANA6TSNNkaiOJ
loser and shuffled his way downstairs in his oversized plaid pajamas. They422Please respect copyright.PENANACGpq9E9HQx
waited with bated breath as they heard the man move about, checking all the way422Please respect copyright.PENANAbiDcm0Sob2
that someone could sneak in. Trevor would have been the perfect pick since the422Please respect copyright.PENANAsAFWoYP1NE
guy looked like he could lift a car, but the problem with him was that despite422Please respect copyright.PENANAcSTVmSO0XO
his muscular figure, he was also a big baby and currently too scared to move422Please respect copyright.PENANAd7xKVdUHv2
further than his bedroom door.
Eventually, Doug returned with a thumbs up, indicating that nothing422Please respect copyright.PENANAgVzWcvv1N9
was open or broken, and the group let out a collective sigh.
“It was probably some drunk that got the wrong address,”422Please respect copyright.PENANAKmatJMhI5G
Todd concluded before rubbing his eyes and turning back to his room.
“Wait!” Aaron stopped the group from dispersing. “Guys, Caleb422Please respect copyright.PENANAzy4witr4mc
is gone!”
Elijah tilted his head, interested. “Is this the same Caleb you422Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZLodycbIS
were talking about earlier?”
“Yeah! I- he-just- I…” Aaron fumbled, knowing his answer422Please respect copyright.PENANAjHLuDBrzBD
would make him look like some kind of lunatic.
“What?”
“He—he vanished!”
The others glanced at each other. Trevor sneakily slid back422Please respect copyright.PENANA9GPPydzf3q
into his room, deciding not to have anything to do with this conversation, and422Please respect copyright.PENANAB8xpZyWnEu
Doug backed down the hall in reverse, refusing to investigate any weirder shit422Please respect copyright.PENANANisVQYWE2X
for the night.
Elijah and Todd were left alone with Aaron. “Yeah that’s what422Please respect copyright.PENANAYaavI2IlnA
I said.” Elijah shrugged. “The guy vanished three years ago.”
“But he was here!” Aaron argued, to which Todd rolled his422Please respect copyright.PENANAwntlXKy42P
eyes.
“Alright, that’s enough.” He scratched his head. “Whatever422Please respect copyright.PENANA9VNN6ucoB2
this is, it can wait till morning coz it’s way too late to be pranking each422Please respect copyright.PENANAsrW03wOvSQ
other.”
“But I’m not!” He retorted, but the others were already422Please respect copyright.PENANAU7HkwMC6to
flipping him off as they returned to bed.
Glancing back at his room, he gulped nervously and considered422Please respect copyright.PENANA8S7zrFO2Ru
sleeping on the couch, but he’d have to get his laptop first, so he flipped on422Please respect copyright.PENANA3mPbhZUsJJ
his lights to make the room as bright as possible so he could retrieve it.
Unfortunately, there were no free outlets by the couch, thus422Please respect copyright.PENANAPx0XhtZYbZ
limiting him to a few hours on the internet.
Deciding to look something up before moving downstairs, he422Please respect copyright.PENANAmv1fsfxgpY
sunk into his bed and pulled out the computer. After a quick google search, he422Please respect copyright.PENANA6vyREOHERx
found what he was looking for.
It was an inactive Facebook page.
A lump started forming in his throat as he went through the422Please respect copyright.PENANApPKUTNeSLt
pictures and sure enough, it was him. It was Caleb. And the page had been422Please respect copyright.PENANAxaG87mTLR4
abandoned for over three years.
With a terrified gulp, he closed his laptop and decided now422Please respect copyright.PENANAzL7IgMZFhC
would be a good time to move to the couch. Yet, he noticed one more422Please respect copyright.PENANAmT1e3DV0bq
particularly terrifying thing about the room.
The spare bed was now gone.
