The Pub 03
酒吧 03
The bathroom was at the end of corridor and I would always feel as if something was walking right behind me. I once saw a tall, dark shadow walk around the corner and into the kitchen, but there was no one there. I started to feel scared to be upstairs on my own.
Downstairs, in the bar, it had a much more friendly atmosphere, but upstairs felt oppressive and claustrophobic. One night I woke up to find my sash window open and the tall figure standing on the balcony, looking out across the town. It then jumped off the rooftop. The child I had sensed, in such a comforting way, now began to scare me too. It was a little girl, and it seemed that with the appearance of this dark man she became intensely scared. I would see her standing in the doorway screaming while the black shadow approached behind her. I would hear cries and screams in the dead of night. My friend ended up pulling down the old fireplace that had been bricked up in the room we shared. That did it for I sensed something dreadful in the entire pub after he did that. I never worked or stayed there again.
洗手間在走廊的盡頭,每次我去那的時候,總有種身后有人跟著的感覺。有一次,我看見一個高大的黑影轉(zhuǎn)過墻角進(jìn)了廚房,但那兒根本沒人。我開始害怕一個人上樓。
樓下酒吧里的氣氛很好。但樓上卻讓人感到壓抑恐懼。一天晚上,我醒來看到推拉窗開著,陽臺上有個高高的黑影,正看著整個鎮(zhèn)子。然后它從屋頂一躍而下。我曾經(jīng)深感欣慰感覺到的那個小孩也開始讓我害怕。那是個小女孩,看起來那個黑影的出現(xiàn)把她嚇壞了。我曾看到那個黑影從背后向她走去,她就站在門口尖叫。寂靜的夜里,我可以聽到哭喊尖叫聲。最后,我朋友把我們房間里的壁爐給拆了。之后,我開始在整個酒吧都感覺到可怕的東西。從此,我再沒在那兒工作或是住過。
