Unit 119: Whispers in the Night

Every night’s the same. Walk the grounds, log the units, try not to fall

asleep in the office. But last Tuesday, I noticed Unit 119 had its lock replaced. Problem is — that

unit’s been vacant for 6 years. No lease. No paperwork. Just a new,

shiny padlock. I asked my manager. He said it’s probably just an error. “Ignore it,” he

told me. “Don’t open anything you’re not told to.” That was before

I heard it. At 3:17 AM, like clockwork, whispers start coming from inside.

It sounds like multiple voices — whispering backwards. I recorded it once, but the audio came

out completely silent. Two nights ago, I walked past the unit and found the lock on the floor.
