Short Stories Before Bed (Horror)

Bathroom at school

Inside the abandoned old high school building, there was a bathroom hidden at the end of the darkest corridor. No one had ever used the bathroom because there were reportedly evil spirits occupying the place. School students believed the stories, and avoided setting foot there. But there is a new student, Joko, who does not believe in supernatural things. He is the type of kid who is always looking for adventure and is always ready to test his mettle. No one could persuade him not to investigate the haunted bathroom.

One day, while all the students were in their classrooms, Joko decided it was time to outperform the bathroom myth. Enthusiastically and anxiously at once, he entered the bathroom door that was always tightly closed. At once, the pale lamp hanging from the ceiling shook strongly and went out by itself. It was pitch-black and covered the bathroom, but Joko was undaunted. He reached into his pants pocket and took out a small flashlight to illuminate the path in front of him.

When the flashlight was turned on, Joko was stunned to see the situation inside the seedy and artificial bathroom. The deeper he walked, the stranger things he encountered. The fishy smell that pierced his nose was not like the smell of cigarette smoke or the smell of sweat. This was the smell of blood piercing into his nose. Joko ignored him and continued on.

At the end of the bathroom corridor, he found an invisible door that opened wide. Without hesitation, Joko passed by and found a special room next to the toilet cubicle. There was a fishy smell growing stronger, and Joko knew it was coming from the room. With a feeling of curiosity and a little fear, Joko opened the door of the room.

However, what he found was truly terrifying. The room was filled with multilayered walls containing text that was scratched using blood. Like the writing made by the little fingernails that squawk. Joko felt his hair goosebumps as he read the blood-written sentences, "This school we have taken over. Welcome to our place, Joko."

Joko ran without direction, but the ceiling of the corridor was constantly changing and twisting. He got lost in a deceptive and evil school. The sound of whimpering shadows echoed between the passageways, and Joko felt her courage begin to fade.

After circling inside the mysterious corridor, Joko saw a faint light in the distance. He ran faster and finally found an exit that led him outside the school. He looked at the school from afar, so frightening and haunted, and was determined to never come back again.

Since that incident, Joko never again underestimated the haunted stories and myths that exist. He learns that supernatural powers do exist and can take the lives of anyone who ignores them. Joko promises to never again try to test the limits of courage by investigating such a place of horror.
